Video Summary
Here is a summary of the key points made in the YouTube video review of an electric car:- The car reviewed is the brand new Volkswagen ID. Buzz.
- The car has retro styling from the Volkswagen bus of the 1960s.
- It is a fully electric van.
- The ID. Buzz is already on sale in Europe, but it won’t come to America until the summer of 2024.
- There is a short wheel base version with two rows of seating that will not be coming to North America.
- The US will only get the long wheel base version, which comes standard with three rows of seating. It is a foot longer than the European version.
- Europeans will also get a cargo commercial van version with no rear seats, which won’t be coming to the United States.
- Volkswagen has announced details about the look of the US market ID. Buzz, but they haven’t confirmed powertrain details.
- The assumption is that the powertrains will be similar to the ID.4 electric crossover, possibly offering a base model with 200 hp and an optional 300 hp all-wheel drive version.
- It offers DC fast charging capabilities.
- It charges from 5% to 80% in about 30 minutes.
- If it is like the ID.4, base range will be about 200 miles and the top version about 270 miles.
- The price for the basic model will start around $40,000, with well-equipped versions topping $50,000.
- There are smiley faces next to the door handles.
- The door panels have two level storage.
- The center console is removable and one of the features is a bottle opener.
- Power sliding doors and there are USB-C charge ports inside.
- Visibility is generally good, due to the angle of the windshield, but the A-pillars are very large.
- The EU version is rated 61 out of 100 by the reviewer's scoring system, “The Doug Score,” putting it well above other minivans.
- Overall, this car is very cool. It is fun to drive, looks great, and the interior is unique, weird, quirky, and exciting.
