Volkswagen dictionary since the premiere ofID.3 consists of two words: electromobility and connectivity.The new compact was to be an example of what it should look like.And while he is a successful electrician, the gadget side requires improvement.

VolkswagenID.3 Pure Performance - long -distance test

I don't think I will surprise anyone when I say thatID.He draws 3 handfuls from the ideas that Tesla conquered the hearts (and parking spaces) of millions of drivers.This is not just about an electric drive.A friend once told me how after the update his model 3 began to accelerate better.Another talked about remote diagnostics and repair of the problem by installing software patch.

Volkswagen wants to bite a piece of this cake.ID.3 You support basically mainly through the 10-inch screen, which is located at the top of the central console.This is where you control the air conditioning, radio, choose driving modes.The Germans did not go all the way, like Tesla in the case of model 3, but I will not overdo it when I say that I bury on this display with every ride.

That is why such a disappointment was what I found in this cart a year ago.The system was simply underdeveloped.The interface was hanging, and driving assistants were harassed.Once upon a 5.3-inch screen behind the wheel has turned off, which shows M.in.speed.It happened on the highway, although luckily I waited in the queue at the goals.Now a lot has changed.

SystemID.Software

Obecnie w testowanymID.3 System with designation 2 works.30 and - simply in putting - it works well.During the month only once it happened that I had to reset it because something was hung.I have no objections to the responsiveness of the screen or the fluidity of the interface.I was previously irritated by one thing: reset the on -board computer indications.Now it is made with a visible button.

Every day I use Apple CarPlay, which can be connected both wirelessly and through the cable, although not.However, I think it is iOS fault in the iPhone.Anyway, I use Google Maps for navigation to lay charging places on the route A Betteroute Planner.

Volkswagen jednak zadbał o to, by każdyID.3 had navigation with travel planning function.The map has charging points uploaded and the car can propose them when determining the route, for which plus.I will stick to the detail: The system does not always show well which station is occupied.The rest, however, is very fine, although a skilled driver will be able to better choose charging places.

Z poziomu systemuID.Software you can also plan the heating or parking air conditioning or set at what hours the car should be charged.Useful when e.g..You have a G12 tariff at home and you can use cheaper electricity.Individual places are saved based on the GPS location, so it is configured literally in a moment.Speaking of charging: you can also limit to what level the energy should be supplemented.

Na koniec zostawiłem asystenta głosowego, który może włączać się po haśle "Cześć,ID!" (choć czasem wystarcza tylko "cześć").If you expect something like Siri or Google assistant here, I have to disappoint you.The one in Volkswagen copes on average even with commands regarding air conditioning settings, let alone something more complicated, such as navigation setting.He knows the joke for it.Yes, one.

Weconnect application

The mobile application is a big fairy tale in Teslach.You can handle many car functions from it, and it replaces the key.Volkswagen has prepared his answer called Weconnect and using it requires a special Weconnect Plus package.The first three years are in the price, then you will have to pay.And I hope that the app will be extended, because for now you are welcome.

Configuration is not difficult, but the functionality is very limited.In fact, from the phone you can set the temperature in the car (useful), view the range and state of charge, start or stop charging, as well as send the target for navigation.This list of functions ends.It is a pity, because here the competition offers much more - and I do not mean only Tesla.

In Weconnect you will not check the location of the car.You will not check if the door is closed or you will not open it remotely.You don't blink with lights in the parking lot.You will not change the limit to which charging is set.I don't have to mention the fact that it is. Volkswagen obiecuje aktualizację, która już jest w drodze, lecz do czasu aż do nas dotrze, kierowcyID.3 wanting these functions must go around the taste.

Updates

Exactly, because these do not only apply to the mobile application, but also the whole car. Volkswagen chce, by iID.3 became better over time.For now, it goes well.The first update required a visit to the site and brought better navigation or Apple Carplay and Android Auto.He also made the system updated remotely, although I know that older copies drivers will have to visit the dealer again.

W połowie 2021 roku obietnica w końcu została spełniona, aID.3 got the first real improvement.Volkswagen has improved fast charging, and Pure Performance is now to be taken up to 110 instead of 100 kW at the appropriate stations.In the case of the PRO version it was a larger jump: from 100 to 120 kW.So there is a chance that in time, when Germans get to know the batteries better, they will allow much more, because the new charging curve is also to go to older cars.

ID.3 is connected to the network by 4G, and updates can be enabled from the level of the appropriate menu in the system.They are divided into four categories: system, radio, something and others.If an additional patch appears until the end of the long -distance test, we will certainly show you how the whole process is going on and what it is with.

What will he bring tomorrow?

Odpowiedź na to, co szykuje Volkswagen, można znaleźć w materiałach dotyczących modeluID.5.The new SUV will hit the roads in March and will have a system in version 3 on board.0, and one of the significant changes will be the ability to install additional applications, such as.Spotify.The car will also finally display the battery charge as a percentage on the screen behind the wheel.A small amendment, and how pleases.

To właśnie w aktualizacjach trzeba dopatrywać się siłyID.3.The first time I met with this car, a lot of things still required corrections, and I wondered if Volkswagen would keep his word.Today, most of the ills are already solved and you can actually see that the capabilities of the car are increasing over time.However, this is not a gadget on the wheels I was waiting for.Or rather: it is not yet.
