As the first batch of ID.4 CROZZ owners, I have been driving it for a year, and would like to share my driving experience.
This is my first post, please take care of me.

After half a year of selection and waiting for ordering, I finally became the owner of the ID.4 CROZZ of FAW-Volkswagen on November 16th, 2021.
The moment of picking up the car was full of happiness, and I attended the car delivery ceremony with my family. From then on, I also became a new energy vehicle owner.
A few days after picking up the car, I had a long-distance driving experience from Huanghua, Hebei to Wutai Mountain, Shanxi, with a total distance of more than 400 kilometers and a claimed range of 550 kilometers. Let’s see if there is any range anxiety.
When the distance was over half, I stopped at a service area on the highway for charging, and then fully charged again on the return trip.
I was surprised that, while using the air conditioning in winter, the car traveled 400 kilometers on the way back without charging, and there was still some remaining power.
After this trip, I have no worries about driving an electric vehicle for long distances anymore. As long as I am not in a hurry and can wait for a little charging time, the charging equipment at the service area is already very complete, and there is no so-called range anxiety.
Since its launch, the ID infotainment system has been criticized by car enthusiasts. However, it has gradually improved and various apps have been launched, which makes me love Volkswagen’s connected car more and more. Now, watching videos while charging has become a moment of indulgence for me.
Winter is the time to test the quality of electric vehicles, first is the range, followed by performance. I usually charge to 80% and drive to about 20% before recharging. With about 60% battery left, I can usually drive over 200 kilometers. For commuting to work, I only need to charge once a week, which I am very satisfied with.
As for performance, I think the rear-wheel drive ID4 performs better than I imagined in winter driving. The ESP is very sensitive, and although there are occasional instances of slipping on snow, I have never lost control. The acceleration performance is still fantastic!
After experiencing a flat tire, I finally saw the truth about the tires that Volkswagen promotes. I was surprised at first, but when I saw the 5-centimeter nail, I felt relieved. When the tire technician told me that there were not only long nails but also two short ones, I realized that without this tire, I might have had to repair my tire many times over. I secretly admired it!
In 2022, our small city surprisingly got a ChargeMap application. After trying it out, I realized that it is really convenient. It allows for reserving charging, unlocking with your phone, and automatic payment during charging.
I am most satisfied with two configurations in the car, one is a 360 panoramic camera, so my wife never worries about driving. The other is the 30-color interior ambient light, which is my child’s favorite.
After using the car for a year, I am very satisfied with the ID4CROZZ from FAW-Volkswagen. I don’t know if my fellow drivers feel the same way. After switching to an electric car, I am really indifferent to gasoline cars. The first choice when going out is to drive my electric car 😂.
