Volkswagen ID.AERO debuts in the world, with a cruising range of 700 kilometers under WLTP conditions

If Volkswagen's electric car sales want to surpass Tesla, it must first gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market. Volkswagen sees this clearly.

Feng Sihan, CEO of Volkswagen Brand China

On June 27, Volkswagen ID.AERO will make its world debut tonight, named after AERODYNAMIC (aerodynamics) and ROOMINESS (spacious space). Literally, the space of this car should not be bad. The car is planned to be launched in China in the second half of 2023. This is a new pure electric sedan based on the MEB platform, which is positioned as a pure electric medium-sized car.

Judging from the previously released concept map, the front face is equipped with a penetrating light strip and a luminous car logo, which largely continues the ID family-style design language. Downgrading the wind resistance, the through-type taillights used at the rear echo the headlight group, and the small rear wing that is slightly tilted at the rear of the car is believed to provide a certain downforce in addition to being beautiful.

The actual endurance fulfillment rates corresponding to different endurance test conditions are different. Let the reader sort it out, EPA working condition > WLTP working condition > NEDC working condition > CLTC working condition, in other words, the endurance tested under CLTC working condition The mileage is the most imaginary, and the cruising range tested by the EPA condition is the most realistic, followed by the WLTP condition (introducing these will help understand how incredible the Volkswagen ID.AERO's cruising range is).

In terms of battery life, the Volkswagen ID.AERO is equipped with an 84 kWh battery pack, and the Volkswagen ID.AERO has a cruising range of 435 miles (700 kilometers) under WLTP conditions!You must know that the BYD Seal is equipped with an 82 kWh battery pack and has a cruising range of only 700 kilometers under CLTC conditions.The Volkswagen ID.AERO has only 2 kWh more battery density, and the cruising range can achieve this level. I believe that in addition to certain advantages in wind resistance, there must be some hidden technologies in other aspects.
