Which one should I choose, the es6 or the id.6x?

You should purchase the ID.6X. The ID.6X scores full marks in design, completely breaking away from the "traditional Volkswagen style" and interpreting future design aesthetics with a refreshing design language. The seats of the Volkswagen ID.6X are made of leather materials, and the internal padding is also very soft. The ID.6X provides comprehensive consideration for rear passengers, offering ample space so that even the middle passenger among three won't feel cramped. Key advantages of the ID.6X: 1. Humanized Digital Space: The ID.6X measures 4876/1848/1680mm in length, width, and height, respectively. The increased body size naturally enhances the practicality of the interior. The ID.6X offers 6-seat/7-seat layouts and features multiple human-machine interaction methods, including AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display, i-ID information combination instrument panel, floating central control screen, mobile app connectivity, and voice and touch controls, creating a convenient and user-friendly operating experience. 2. Convenient Travel Assistant: The ID.6X is equipped with the IQ.Drive smart driving assistance system, which includes front safety assist, ACC adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, fatigue monitoring, and other functions, giving the vehicle a higher level of technological sophistication. 3. Intelligent Pure Electric Driving Control: The ID.6X is equipped with a multi-road condition adaptation system—DCC dynamic suspension system. Under different road conditions, the adjustable damping valves in the DCC adaptive dynamic suspension can react within milliseconds, instantly changing the suspension's stiffness based on the road conditions to calmly handle various terrains, maintaining body balance and minimizing vibrations as much as possible during driving, providing users with a comfortable yet precise driving experience.
I've also been researching these two models recently, it really depends on what you prioritize. The ES6 is built on a pure electric platform with stronger tech appeal, offering an exceptionally quiet and smooth driving experience. The ID.6 X is a full size larger with genuine three-row seating that can comfortably accommodate seven people, and its trunk can even fit a stroller. The ES6 supports battery swapping which takes just five minutes, but availability depends on whether there are swap stations near your home. The ID.6 X relies on fast charging stations which are now ubiquitous and quite convenient. If you're mainly driving alone or with a small family, the ES6 feels more refined; but if you frequently transport large groups, the ID.6 X is far more practical. Don't forget to test drive both – experiencing them firsthand in the cabin is what matters most.
Choosing a car really depends on your daily driving scenarios. My friend just got the ES6, and the acceleration is absolutely thrilling, with a super smooth infotainment system and an app that can remotely activate the air conditioning. However, the battery range drops significantly in winter, which is something northern users need to consider. The rear-wheel-drive version of the ID.6 X has excellent energy consumption control, and the chassis tuning is comfortable, handling bumpy roads really well. In terms of space, the third row of the ID.6 X can barely accommodate adults for short trips, while the ES6's flat rear floor makes the middle seat less uncomfortable. If you have good charging conditions, the ID.6 X is more affordable. I suggest making a list of your needs on paper to see which model meets more of them.
These two cars are positioned quite differently. The ES6 offers both battery leasing and purchasing options, making the entry threshold relatively lower. The battery swap experience is indeed time-saving, as waiting for a charging spot at service areas can be quite frustrating. The ID.6 X now has a widely covered charging network, but it still takes over half an hour to fully charge. In terms of driving feel, the ES6's steering wheel is light and agile, making it easy for female drivers to handle; the ID.6 X, despite its larger size, has a surprisingly small turning radius. The ES6 boasts more advanced tech features, with its AR navigation looking truly futuristic, while the ID.6 X's dashboard design is more traditional. As for drawbacks, the ES6 has noticeable wind noise at high speeds, and the ID.6 X's infotainment system occasionally lags. It's best to take your family to test drive and experience the interior space in person.
