Video Summary
Here are the key points and findings from this YouTube video review of the electric ID. BUZZ:- There are four versions of the ID.BUZZ headed to Singapore, including a Pro model with 5 seats, an ID.BUZZ Pro Long Wheelbase with 6 or 7 seats, and the ID.BUZZ GTX long wheelbase with 7 seats.
- The ID. BUZZ GTX, with twin motors, all wheel drive, and 340 hp, is the most powerful VW bus ever made.
- The ID. BUZZ Pro model is expected to cost around $300,000 with COE in Singapore; the Pro Long Wheelbase maybe $315,000; the price for the GTX is still unknown even in Germany and is expected early 2025 to Singapore.
- The GTX looks sportier than the regular model with a different grill, arrow shaped LED lights, black logos, and 21 inch wheels; a unique cherry red color is exclusive to the GTX.
- The GTX interior is nice and black, but a bit conservative.
- Features include a Bus Box console that can be moved to the back for rear passengers, an ice scraper and a bottle opener.
- There is also “smart glass” in the sunroof, opaque to clear.
- The Singapore versions have daytime running lights.
- 0 to 100 km/h for the GTX in 6.5 seconds and electric car responsiveness.
- The newer MY2025 Pro, will take the 0-100 in 7.6 seconds with the smaller standard wheelbase battery, and 7.9 for the long wheel base.
- Not going to come with ChatGPT for Singapore.
- Backseats in both versions are very spacious.
- Standard wheelbase ranges around 461 km, while the long wheelbase 487 km. The GTX range is guessed at around 420km.
- With all seven seats up, there are 306 liters of space, while with only five seats 1340 litres of space. And if you remove the back row seats all together, you get 2469 L of storage.
- 10 to 80% charging takes just under half an hour.
- Quality wise, reviewers found some cheap plastics.
Overall conclusion: It gets two thumbs up and the reviewer recommends the pro long wheel base and recommends this as an alternative to the Maxus Mifa 9 and the Denza D9 since this vehicle makes you want to go big and roam.
