Am I crazy to drive this car to 318?

What’s the experience of driving ID.6 CROZZ to 318?

Driving an electric car into the western Sichuan and even onto a beautiful section of National Highway 318 sounds like a crazy idea.

This time, we traveled from Chengdu to Ya’an, then from Ya’an to Kangding, passing through places such as Mugecuo and Zheduo Mountain. Along the way, we encountered unexpected situations like heavy rain, high altitude, and low battery. The highest altitude we reached was 4300 meters (actually my phone showed 4400 meters), and we really didn’t know whether altitude sickness or range anxiety would come first.

To be honest, this trip was not as smooth as we imagined. We experienced emergencies along the way, such as heavy rain, high altitude, and a low battery. We also traveled through highways, National Highway 318, and country roads. The ID.6 CROZZ really surprised me. We even took on a death-defying challenge of pushing the car uphill in the high-altitude area. As for the challenge itself, let’s talk about it in our video.

The ID.6 CROZZ is the second all-electric model launched by FAW-Volkswagen, a 6/7-seat mid-size all-electric SUV built on the MEB all-electric platform. Those who know us know that we bought an ID.4 for long-term testing. Originally, I thought this car was just a scaled-up version of the ID.4. However, in my experience over the past few days, I found that the larger ID.6 is even more complete and flexible to drive than the ID.4. Especially the four-wheel drive version with DCC suspension, it performed really well on mountain roads and amazed me.

Now, the ID.4 has achieved a sales record of over 1,000 units in its first three months on the market. Although it’s still a bit far from Tesla, I personally believe that for more and more potential consumers who want to get into electric cars, the Volkswagen ID. series is easier to get started with and is a product that is easier to transition from gasoline cars to electric cars. Especially don’t forget that this is a very practical 6/7-seat vehicle, priced at just over 200,000 RMB, which has no competitors in the same price range. Even compared to traditional fuel vehicles in certain aspects, it has certain advantages. For families with two children who mainly commute in nearby cities, I think the ID.6 CROZZ will be a new choice that you can’t ignore.“`html
