Hi, everyone, I’m Rabbit. I’m a car industry practitioner and enthusiast, who loves cars both before and after the pandemic control measures, and I won’t bore you with units of measurement. Suffice it to say that this is a long story of bumper crops in both cooking and tonnage.
With the orderly resumption of work across all sectors, my mother back home also heard the news and sent her greetings: “There’s a nice girl, why don’t you meet up after the pandemic.” After our conversation, I found the girl to be rather introverted and not very talkative. But after confirming that I had no criminal record and had informed my family, we decided to go to the Shanghai Wildlife Park on the weekend, because we both like small animals, and there are many common topics here. Although it was 37 degrees Celsius in Shanghai at the time, all commercial places were unable to receive visitors, so this was one of the few options, and the girl did not refuse.
However, during the preparation stage, I encountered a rather embarrassing problem. I looked at the daily itinerary and found that the round-trip distance was nearly 160 kilometers…
So, what car should I drive there?
If I were to drive the car below, my first impression might be good. But from the moment of starting it up, the girl’s fondness for me would be gradually lost accompanying the roar of exploding tires and the collision of asphalt, as well as the suspension harder than a 5-nut mooncake and even quicker than a 6-speed automatic transmission, until she removed me from her list of friends.
Therefore, after much consideration, I decided to switch to a quiet, smooth, and comfortable car. As luck would have it, the editorial department had just received an ID.4 CROZZ test drive car, which I had driven before. In addition to meeting all of the above standards, this car has an extra bonus: both front seats have massage function. I believe that no one can resist a massage chair after a day of walking, right?
In addition, the car has L2 intelligent driving, which can help me reduce some of the driving burden on both the outbound and return trips. So I decided to drive the ID.4, which was perfect for the job.
Very quiet, with few interruptions
Sure enough, this car was perfect. It took us almost an hour to drive there, thanks to the natural advantages of electric vehicles in NVH, which made it almost devoid of noise interference along the way, especially in isolating the rough road. I think that there are not many cars in this price range that can achieve this level of noise reduction.We started from talking about personal situations and moved on to movies, actors we like, interesting stories from our industries, and finally shared our signature dishes and recipes during the epidemic, which gave me a reason to look forward to our next gourmet trip.
Driving quality that sets the benchmark
I have to commend the suspension of the ID.4 CROZZ, which showcases the solid control over the basic tuning of vehicles by traditional automakers. It performs exceptionally well in filtering out small bumps encountered along the way and easily handles larger undulations without hesitation or wobbling inside the car. The driving quality is well-balanced and deserves recognition from this lady.
Imparting automotive knowledge to her…
As the lady lives near her workplace and usually commutes by subway and buses, despite having a driver’s license, she has few opportunities to drive. Therefore, I also shared some interesting stories about the automotive industry, such as which indicators should be focused on when choosing an electric vehicle, and demonstrated the “iQIYI” and “Sing Bar KTV” functions in the car’s infotainment system during traffic jams. However, since we were on the road, these two functions could not be used. Finally, we both agreed that these two functions are perfect for charging scenarios to help pass the time.
Is Shanghai Wild Animal Park worth visiting?
Overall, I think the experience is excellent with high playability. In addition to many rare animals, there are feeding sessions and animal performances. Some tame animals are placed in areas very close to visitors, providing a strong interactive experience. They also have an account on Douyin (a popular Chinese social media platform), so friends who want to visit can do some research in advance.
For example, in the bird display area not far from the entrance, visitors have the rare opportunity to get very close to the birds.
Summary of the ID.4 CROZZ experience
Many people say that the products in the ID series may seem mediocre and lack innovation. However, through a deep experience, you will discover that this car excels in many basic aspects, which many new players in the automotive industry are unable to deliver, such as:- The texture of the chassis is excellent.
- Turn, brake, and throttle pedals can be adapted within 1 km.
- A trustworthy exclusive charging brand.
- Both front seats have massage function.
- The D and B gears are suitable for different groups. If you don’t want to feel the drag caused by the energy recovery, you can use the D gear directly without any adaptation.
- An 84-degree ternary lithium battery, which is rare in the same level.
- L2 level intelligent driving is user-friendly and reliable.
- Lastly, and most importantly, currently the ID.4 CROZZ has an average nationwide discount of 10,000 to 15,000 yuan, which means that for a price in the 20s, you can buy a car with the above advantages and a background of a joint venture brand. If you compare ID.4 CROZZ’s price in a car comparison software and go with your family to experience it together, I believe you will find a reason to swipe your card.
