As long as you don’t feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. The domestic road test of Volkswagen's new ID.6 pure electric SUV has switched from the previous zebra sticker to the unified Peugeot 5008 camouflage of the global ID.6 test vehicle. The highly fake operation of imitating other models through stickers is also Volkswagen's consistent trick. However, This also means that the test of ID.6 is approaching the final stage. This new car project, codenamed Lounge SUVe, will be launched in China at SAIC Volkswagen.
The ID.6 will be based on the Volkswagen ID.?ROOMZZ concept car released at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019. Of course, the double doors like the concept car will not be used. In fact, it will look like It is more suitable to make the long axis version of ID.4. This is indeed the same as the Peugeot 5008 in terms of the road number of the 4008. After the wheelbase is greatly lengthened, a new three-row seat layout can be added. However, the body size is still a compact setting, and the space in the third row is destined to be relatively cramped. .
Also based on the Volkswagen MEB platform, the front face design of the ID.6 is similar to that of the ID.4. The front face of the closed grille and the headlights are larger than the ID.4. It comes standard with Lens full LED light source headlights. The wheels are designed with low wind resistance, continuing the long wheelbase of the electric vehicle platform, and the short front and rear overhang ratio. The wheelbase of about 2900mm will be about 130mm longer than the ID.4.
On the side of the ID.6 body, you can see the same A-pillar details as the ID.4, such as the triangle window, rearview mirror bracket, etc. However, the body waistline and other designs have still been changed. The ID.6 should more prominently highlight the shoulder line of the rear wheel arch. With the wheelbase lengthened, the size of the rear doors will also become larger. The size of the porthole between the C and D pillars has been greatly increased, the rear overhang will be slightly longer than that of the ID.4, and the rear of the roof will be flatter, which can improve the headroom of the rear car. The design of the door handle is also the semi-hidden structure of the ID.4, which helps reduce wind resistance. It is not as complicated as a pop-up structure and will not be affected by freezing weather.
The lion-claw-style taillights completely imitate the stickers of the Peugeot 5008. The real light body can be seen from the outline and light source. It is exactly the same design as the ID.4, except that the rear bumper design is different. The license plate mounting position is directly integrated into the lower part of the trunk lid. You can also see the same LCD instrument and multimedia system as the ID.4 in the interior. There are two floating LCD screens, one small and one large. The electronic shift knob of the gearshift system is integrated on the right side of the instrument screen frame. Only the panel decoration details of the center console look different from the ID.4. Of course, the biggest difference between the two is that the ID.6 adopts a three-row, seven-seater layout.
Although it is an extended version of the same platform as the ID.4, the power system configuration is different. It is reported that the ID.6 will provide dual-motor full-drive versions of 225kW and 300kW, with capacities of 77kWh and 110kWh. The battery pack can achieve a battery life of 600 kilometers. This seems to be one of the few mass-produced models today that has a battery capacity of over 100kWh. The ID.4 model has a smaller wheelbase and weight, so the battery capacity is correspondingly smaller. It is equipped with 55kWh and 83kWh capacity battery packs respectively, which can achieve a range of 350 kilometers and 555 kilometers, and both have a single motor with a power output of 150kW. configuration.
According to the ID.4’s officially announced starting price of less than 250,000 yuan, the ID.6’s price is estimated to be in the range of 300,000-450,000 yuan. By comparison, it can be seen that it is more expensive than the five-seat NIO ES6 SUVs are also much cheaper. After Tesla Model Y is produced in China, it is estimated that it will probably be in this price range. However, the body size of the Model Y will be significantly more compact, and the fastback rear is only suitable for a five-seater layout. If compared to a seven-seater, it will definitely be significantly inferior to the third row space of the ID.6.
