Volkswagen electric vehicles include the following models: 1. Bora EV. It entered the Chinese market in 2001 and was hailed as the 'Driver's Car' due to its dynamic design and advanced technology. Even today, it remains a best-selling model. The pure electric version retains the advantages of the fuel-powered model, such as spaciousness and high practicality, including the upgraded multi-link independent suspension across the lineup, which might make fuel version owners envious. However, the Bora EV's 270km range is at a disadvantage compared to domestic brands and even its joint-venture counterpart, the Sylphy EV (338km). 2. Golf EV. The biggest issue with the Golf EV is its mere 270km range. Given that most domestic pure electric vehicles boast ranges of 400-500km, such a low range makes the Golf EV hard to be widely accepted by consumers. 3. Lavida EV. The Lavida is China's best-selling family sedan, and the Lavida EV is a pure electric vehicle based on the new-generation Lavida, built on the MQB platform. Essentially, it's also a 'fuel-to-electric' conversion model. With decent power, driving quality, and safety reliability, it can appeal to loyal Lavida owners' nostalgia. However, the 278km range limits its appeal to most users. Therefore, the Lavida EV is more suitable for consumers with fixed parking spaces in first- or second-tier cities, mainly using it for urban commuting. 4. Golf GTE (Imported). The Golf has always been popular among young people in the domestic market, with its dynamic and stylish design being quite attractive. However, this model's range is only 255km, which is a significant drawback. For users with relatively convenient charging conditions, this might not be a big issue.

I follow automotive news closely, and Volkswagen indeed has a wide range of electric vehicles. The core lineup is the ID. family, with several models available in China: the compact ID.3 is perfect for city commuting, similar in size to the gasoline-powered Golf; the main SUVs are the ID.4 CROZZ and ID.4 X, offering practical space and a range of over 400 kilometers; for larger families, there's the spacious six-seater ID.6, even roomier than the Tesla Model Y; for those seeking something unique, there's the ID.5 coupe SUV. Imported options include the high-performance ID.4 GTX and the retro-charming ID.Buzz electric van, though these are not yet locally produced. Next month, the ID.7 sedan is reportedly set to launch, boasting a range of nearly 700 kilometers! For charging, it's recommended to use DC fast-charging stations, which can replenish 80% of the battery in about half an hour.

Volkswagen has built a quite comprehensive electric vehicle lineup in recent years, basically differentiating positioning by numbers. The entry-level ID.3 hatchback offers agile handling for convenient city commuting; the mid-range ID.4, a best-selling compact SUV, is produced by both FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen; the ID.6 directly comes with three rows of seats, making it the top choice for families with two children. Performance enthusiasts can wait for the GTX version, featuring dual motors and all-wheel drive for super-fast acceleration. The recently popular ID.Buzz, a recreation of the classic T1, has won hearts with its cute, rounded design. It's said that the electric hot hatch ID.2 will be launched by the end of next year, with prices possibly dropping to the 150,000 yuan range. It's recommended to focus on comparing the configurations of domestic versions, as features like heat pump air conditioning and AR-HUD are not available on all models.

After having a baby, I specifically researched Volkswagen's electric vehicles. The ID.6 is my top recommendation - its six-seat layout can accommodate two child seats while still leaving room for passengers, and the trunk fits a folded stroller. The ID.4 also offers decent rear legroom with a completely flat floor, making middle-seat passengers comfortable. I particularly appreciate their range performance - the CATL battery pack can basically achieve the displayed mileage in spring and autumn. Noticed a thoughtful detail while charging: the Volkswagen app shows real-time status of nearby charging stations to avoid queues. The battery drains slightly faster when using the heater in winter, but preheating the cabin remotely via smartphone saves energy. With current purchase subsidies, it's a good time to buy - just remember to negotiate for free charging station installation service.
