Winter efficiency Three equipment tips for ID. models
12/06/21
Anyone looking to drive their ID. efficiently in the winter should have the right equipment on board. Three tips.
Option 1: Heat pump
The heat pump, available as a single option, can compress cooling agents under high pressure; this creates thermal energy, which heats the cold air flowing through. This is an efficient method of heating the interior in the winter. The heat pump is particularly beneficial in outside temperatures below freezing and in stop-and-go traffic. CO2 – a sustainable solution – is used as a cooling agent.

Option 2: Heated seat and steering wheel
The heated seats and steering wheel (available in the “Plus” comfort package) create a cosy feeling through surface contact. They have a direct impact on how warm the driver feels, allowing them to turn the heating down a degree or two. Which saves them energy.

Option 3: Winter tyres
All tyres for the ID. models are optimised to achieve minimal roll resistance – the same is true of winter tyres, as far as possible. When they need to be replaced one day, their replacements should also have the most efficient label available.
