Automotive Awards Model Review: The Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ is expected to win the Best SUV Award

On December 31, 2021, the second "China Automotive Festival" hosted by the Central Radio and Television Corporation was officially launched. According to The Editor's understanding, the program is aimed at selecting the annual model for the Chinese market, so that consumers are truly satisfied, have market guidance and leadership, and I believe that people inside and outside the industry who have paid attention to the first session know that its authority and influence can be called the most in the country. Just in March this year, the second "China Automotive Festival" announced 31 shortlisted models.

For the shortlist, the auto network review has been out of several issues of analysis and prediction articles for everyone, the previous issue is more about the "car storm festival model review: Lincoln Navigator is expected to win the best power or best comfort award", to this issue, Xiaobian wants to discuss with you an SUV, it is FAW-Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ.

It can be seen that there are still many SUV models shortlisted, accounting for about 1/2 of the total number of shortlisted models, and the competition is very fierce. But in the editor's opinion, the probability of ID.4 CROZZ winning is very large, and it is likely to win the best SUV, why do you say so? Let's explore it.

Backed by volkswagen MEB platform

In Xiaobian's understanding, excellent product power is the basis of a best SUV. As we all know, the ID.4 CROZZ is from the MEB platform, integrating the cutting-edge production technology of the Volkswagen Group, and its strength should not be underestimated. Among them, as a pure electric vehicle, the mileage is an important reference factor for most users when buying a car. According to official information, the mileage of MEB platform products can reach more than 550 kilometers, ID.4 CROZZ arranges multiple versions for consumers, and NEDC comprehensive working conditions have a cruising range of 405-550km.

In addition to the mileage, the space design of the ID.4 CROZZ is also more in line with the needs of Chinese consumers. Specifically, in order to break through the limitations of traditional vehicles on the use of internal space, the MEB platform adopts a flat battery module arrangement, so that the vehicle has a long wheelbase and a short front and rear overhang size, and the internal space is more spacious and comfortable.

Of course, in our traditional impression, the long wheelbase will lead to a larger turning radius, making the handling clumsy, but the public says: enjoy the space at the same time, but also experience flexible handling. Therefore, the front axle motor of the vehicle, steering booster and other components have adopted a centered layout to further improve the vehicle handling, according to the official data given by Volkswagen, ID.4 CROZZ length is 4592mm, but its steering radius only reached 5.2m, smaller than Volkswagen POLO, enough to easily complete any U-turn on the city road. It is worth mentioning that the battery pack is fully embedded in the bottom of the car, which helps to reduce the center of gravity of the vehicle and achieve a front and rear weight distribution of nearly 50:50.

In terms of intelligence, the ID.4 CROZZ is equipped with the IQ of the Volkswagen ID. family. Drive L2+ Driver Assistance System. Specific to the product level, including the Lane Assist lane keeping system, Front Assist pre-collision safety system, ACC 3.0 adaptive cruise system and many other functions, to help drivers observe potential safety risks in a timely manner. In addition, in addition to the driver assistance system, ID.4 CROZZ also arranges AR-HUD, which can project driving information and road conditions on the front windshield while driving, which is of great help to driving safety.

The ID.4 CROZZ is a key step in Volkswagen's electrification transformation

On the whole, ID.4 CROZZ can be shortlisted, and it is indeed inseparable from its excellent product strength. However, Xiaobian believes that the ID.4 CROZZ can get the best SUV, but also because compared with the previous fuel models, the impression of volkswagen ID.4CROZZ to consumers can be said to be subversive.

I believe that for those who have test-driven id.4CROZZ, they all want it to be their first pure electric vehicle. To this end, although Volkswagen's electrification started late, the number of pure electric vehicles delivered in 2021 has nearly doubled. In fact, at present, not only Volkswagen has launched new energy models, but many joint venture brands have also launched new energy vehicles, but the market response is flat, why is this?

First of all, FAW-Volkswagen has won the favor of Chinese consumers with its solid foundation and people-friendly image in the era of fuel vehicles. Now, in the field of new energy, Volkswagen China CEO Feng Sihan once said: "Volkswagen does not want to take the route of the explosion of traffic stars, but it is still necessary to fight steadily in the field of new energy." Therefore, in addition to the MEB platform, Volkswagen also enhances the competitiveness of product matrix, supply chain management and marketing service channels.

As the first ID series model, the ID.4 CROZZ has been widely praised by the market since its launch. More importantly, ID.4 CROZZ is good at promoting itself in a way that young people like, according to Xiaobian, ID. CROZZ has created an online ID community, providing an exclusive communication platform for new and old users, who can watch cars, book test drives, share daily life, etc. at any time. Additionally, ID. CROZZ has established a number of offline ID.HUB experience centers to create ID.business district pop-up stores, allowing consumers to enjoy a high-quality car selection and car purchase experience.

AutoMotive Network Review: The odds of being named the best SUV are high

From the perspective of product strength, sales, subversion and service, Xiaobian feels that ID.4 CROZZ does perform well, it can be said to be a "dark horse", and can stand out among many joint venture brands, which has proved the success of this car. Judging from the comprehensive strength of all aspects, ID.4 CROZZ is likely to become the best SUV in the second "China Automotive Festival".

Of course, in addition to the best SUV, the FAW-Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ has the ability to win awards in terms of spatiality, intelligence and power, so it may also be awarded the jury award or special award. So, do you think the ID.4 CROZZ can win the SUV of the Year award? Or which award do you think it's right for? Welcome to discuss together in the comments section.
