At present, China's independent auto brands are running wild in the new energy track, which often makes people feel that joint venture car companies can still play in China's new energy marketWhen FAW-Volkswagen faced China's new energy vehicle market, it did its best to build ID4 The moment CROZZ was born, everyone was a little puzzled, for example, why the car with more than 200,000 yuan was equipped with a drum brake, and later saw ID4 The sharp price reduction of crozz, I just understood, it turned out that it was all in preparation for the price reduction. Looking at the joint venture family pure electric SUVs in the domestic 15-200,000 tracks, there are actually not many options. It wasn't until the arrival of the Kia EV5 that I realized that joint ventures can actually play well in China's new energy market. Let's take a look at the Kia EV5 vs. the Volkswagen ID4 crozz, who to choose with a budget of about 150,000?
The heart of an electric vehicle: the battery, the motor and the electronic control
Kia EV5 and Volkswagen IDThe 4 CROZZ are all based on their own pure electric platforms, but in terms of the performance of the three electric parameters, the Volkswagen ID4 crozz is particularly easy to misunderstand that its lower limit ability is very average, let's take a look at the following three-electric comparison chart.
I chose the price of 15The EV5 530 Air version is priced at 980,000 yuan and is priced at 19390,000 yuan entry-level ID4 Crozz exclusive limited edition models. It should be noted here that the three electric parameters of the three models of the EV5 standard range version are the same, regardless of high and low configuration, IDThe 4 Crozz Pure Limited Edition model is more like a version launched to drive down the price, such as the IDThe 4 Crozz Pure Limited Edition model is equipped with a 55With a 7kWh battery pack, the CLTC has a range of 442km, compared to the IDThe next lowest spec model of the 4 Crozz is priced at a whopping 23990,000 yuan, equipped with 84The 8kWh battery pack has a CLTC range of 600 km4 All CROZZ models are the same size.
From the comparison in the picture above, we can see that the Kia EV5 is equipped with a 64With a 2 kWh battery pack, the CLTC has a range of 530 km. In terms of total motor power, the Kia EV5 is also far superior to the ID4 Crozz exclusive limited edition models. In terms of fast charging, the Kia EV5 is also visible to the naked eye, with 27 minutes more than the ID4 Crozz Pure Limited Edition models are 13 minutes faster.
Both cars are joint venture models, based on the three electric parameters, and then from the price point of view, Kia EV5 obviously has more advantages, for consumers, lower car purchase costs, longer mileage and faster energy replenishment time, this is not the primary demand for buying pure electric vehicles?
You may ask, why is Kia EV5 so cheap, I think it is still the technology of the three electrics, Kia EV5 is equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, and ID4 CROZZ is equipped with a ternary lithium battery, which has a higher density and should have a longer range, but it is not, because even if you put the ID4 crozz is equipped with 64 with the same power sizeA 2kwh ternary lithium battery pack, converted to about 7 per kilowatt-hour9km, CLTC range is only 509km.
The Kia EV5 is also available in a long-range version, equipped with an 88The 1kWh ternary lithium battery pack has a CLTC range of 720km, which is much higher than that of the 84The ID of the ternary lithium battery pack of 8kwh4 Crozz 600km range. However, the long-range version of the Kia EV5 will not be launched until March next year, and its ** is expected to start at more than 180,000, after all, the price of the top model of the EV5 standard range version is only 17480,000 yuan.
Spacious space is one of the hallmarks of electric vehicles
In the early years, when everyone commented on whether an electric car was a pure electric car, they would judge it by the performance of the space, such as whether there was a front trunk or not, and whether the rear floor was completely equal. The Kia EV5 and Volkswagen ID4 On the two models, the Kia EV5 has a 67L front trunk, and the rear floor is fully flat, and the trunk space is 513L-1718L, Volkswagen ID4 Crozz does not have a front trunk, the rear floor is not fully flat, the initial trunk space is 512L, and the space after the rear seats are folded down is currently not officially disclosed.
In addition to this initial space, the rear seat backs of the Kia EV5 can be flattened when folded down, and the rear seat backs can be adjusted up to 10° backwards. On the contrary, Volkswagen IDThe rear seat backs of the 4 Crozz are not flat when they are folded down, and the rear seat backs do not support backward adjustment. For young people who like to travel and camp, the rear seats are folded down to form a flat space, which is closer to the big bed at home4 crozz, apparently more like a regular fuel car.
19.390,000 yuan of IDIn addition to the fact that the 4 CROZZ Pure Limited Edition model is not as good as the Kia EV5, it is also much less flexible in terms of space than the EV5. For example, 17The EV5 530 LAND version of the 48 has a trunk multi-scene expansion table, and the hidden storage compartment cover below is turned up through the linkage mechanism to form a small table, just like the trunk play we see in the market, which is equivalent to moving the living room of the home to the car, which is very playable.
Which is the strength and weakness of intelligent technology allocation?
First of all, in terms of car experience, the difference between the two models is that Kia EV5 provides its own KIA Connect service, which supports remote control, car-home interconnection, vehicle settings, emergency rescue and other services. In particular, the mobile phone APP remote control function supports door control, vehicle starting, charging management, air conditioning control, vehicle condition inquiry and diagnosis, vehicle positioning and car search and other functions4 CROZZ's mobile APP remote control only supports air conditioning on and reservation, vehicle condition inquiry and diagnosis, etc., and also supports emergency rescue and fault rescue services, and the richness of functions is insufficient.
Most importantly, ID4 Crozz models only support S-OTA upgrades, that is, for the upgrade and optimization of the car machine system, while Kia EV5 supports F-OTA upgrades, that is, the first upgrade of the vehicle system firmware, such as the first upgrade of the vehicle's intelligent driving assistance functions, chassis suspension, body control, etc., just yesterday, the ideal pushed the F-OTA upgrade firmware to their owners, which said that through the F-OTA upgrade, the cumulative increase of 15%-20% for winter cars of pure electric range.
In terms of intelligent comfort and convenience configuration, 15The 980,000 yuan EV5 530 Air version is compared to the 19390,000 yuan of ID4 Crozz Pure Limited Edition models have 12 moreIt is equipped with a 3-inch full LCD instrument cluster, an intelligent induction electric tailgate, heated front seats, and V2L external discharge. And idThe 4 Crozz Pure Limited Edition models are equipped with additional features such as temperature zone control, co-pilot seat height and lumbar adjustment, and a very rich L2 intelligent driving assistance system.
If you take 17480,000 EV5 530 LAND version model comparison, 19390,000 yuan of IDThe 4 CROZZ Pure Limited Edition model is completely unbeatable, because the EV5 530 LAND version is equipped with a wealth of intelligent driving assistance functions, which is equivalent to making up for the shortcomings.
On the whole, Kia EV5 has achieved the unity of the whole car series in terms of three electric and interior space, and some intelligent and convenient configurations have been added to the mid-range model, such as intelligent induction electric tailgate, front seat heating, V2L external discharge and other configurations, but it lacks L2 intelligent driving assistance configuration. Volkswagen IDThe starting price of 4 crozz is 19390,000, under the optimization of the terminal, can come to about 150,000, even so, it can't beat 15 in terms of comfortable and convenient configurationThe Kia EV5 is equipped with 980,000 units. 17.The 480,000 EV5 530 LAND version also has a wealth of intelligent driving features. If you had a budget of around $150,000, who would you choose?
