AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/18 Report--

As Volkswagen continues to accelerate the transformation of the electrification sector, the ID.3, its first electric model, is also going into production very quickly. But unexpectedly after the completion of the production of the ID.3 was exposed that there are still problems, and this batch of completed production of the ID.3 is being dealt with in a secret area.

In order to understand the specific situation, a few days ago, some media found the ID.3 that Volkswagen completed production in the past five months, and exposed pictures of these models. According to the picture, a large piece of ID.3 to be delivered is neatly parked in a parking lot, roughly calculating that there are more than 2000 Volkswagen ID.3 electric vehicles. Although the exposure of the picture confirms the existence of these vehicles, it also reflects that the delivery date of ID.3 is getting closer and closer.

Earlier, the German media "Manager Magazine" reported that Volkswagen ID.3 has many software vulnerabilities, as many as 300 a day, so Volkswagen has parked this batch of completed ID3 in a rented parking lot, waiting for software problems to be fixed, which also means that the delivery time of ID.3 may be temporarily unpredictable, or even longer. However, this situation was "denied" by Volkswagen. At an online press conference released by Volkswagen yesterday, Dr. CEO Deiss of the group once again reviewed that it would not delay the release of ID.3 originally scheduled for this summer, but the current production of Volkswagen ID models has been temporarily suspended due to the influence of COVID-19 's epidemic.

According to the plan, Volkswagen ID.3 was officially put into production at the Zwickau plant in Germany in November last year, and more than 10, 000 Volkswagen ID3 have been successfully deactivated. At the same time, in November last year, the Shanghai Volkswagen New Energy Plant also launched its first domestic ID3, which means that the Volkswagen ID.3 will be delivered not only overseas but also in the domestic market this summer. In fact, Volkswagen unveiled its first electric model, the ID.3, at last year's Guangzhou Auto Show.

Volkswagen unveiled its first electric model, the ID.3, at the last Frankfurt Motor Show last September. It is expected to be launched in Europe in July 2020, with German prices starting at 23430 euros (about 180000 yuan). So far, 35000 users worldwide are interested in buying and have paid refundable deposits.

As Volkswagen's first electric car, of course, it comes from the modular MEB architecture that Volkswagen spent a lot of money to build. In appearance, ID.3 uses the round design language of the ID family, and the front face uses a front-penetrating LED lamp group and a fully enclosed medium net, which will also be the first VW model to change its standard. The whole vehicle is positioned as a pure electric 5-door compact car with 4261/1809/1552mm in length, width and height and 2765mm in wheelbase.

The car interior decoration style is very simple, using the popular full liquid crystal instrument + central control screen design style, the central control screen size is 10 inches, the full liquid crystal instrument size is slightly smaller. The electronic lever is located on the right side of the dashboard, and the central control screen integrates navigation, multimedia, vehicle control and other functions.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 204hp motor with a peak torque of 310Nm and a maximum speed electronic speed limit at 160km/h. Depending on the size of the battery pack, the weight of the car will vary and there will be three battery sizes available in Europe: the 48kWh, 55kWh and 62kWhLTP standards have a range of 205,261 and 342 miles, respectively.

The ID.3 can be said to be a very important model for Volkswagen, which not only represents the first step in Volkswagen's transition to electrification, but will also help Volkswagen bring higher profits. According to Deiss, the cost of holding the ID.3 will be lower than that of fuel vehicles. Therefore, no matter whether the problem exists or not, Volkswagen will solve it in a tight time and complete the delivery.

Dees stressed that the epidemic will not affect the promotion of Volkswagen Group electrification strategy. According to the plan, Volkswagen Group will launch 15 all-electric models and 18 hybrid models in 2020 and 2021. Up to 75 electric vehicles and 60 hybrids will be launched by 2029, when sales of electric vehicles are expected to increase to 26 million.
