Video Summary
Here's the requested summary of the electric car review:This version of the ID Buzz has more power and doubles the torque.
It has more seats and a longer wheelbase (LWB, 4,962 mm).
The long wheelbase version has an extended range battery, with up to almost 500 km on a single charge.
It has a CATL battery, with capacity of 79 or 86 kWh.
Rear windows are now able to open.
Some configurations include air conditioning and vents in the second and third rows.
It retains the rear quarter inserts and a tailgate that opens the same way.
The cargo space is 306 litres with all seats in use, and 2,469 litres with all rears folded.
Rear seats can be dropped for a flat loading floor, despite extra storage space.
It now has tethering points for a dog cage.
Rear seats can be removed in seconds for added space.
It can tow 1,600 kg in the LWB version and 1,800 kg in the normal wheelbase version.
It has 282 brake horsepower, standard, with nearly 600 Newton meters of torque.
This improves performance.
When it comes to MPVs, Volkswagen knows a thing or two because they have history in the game.
Second row seats have individual configuration.
The rear seats have Isofix points.
For seven-seater vehicles, compromise for the rear knee room is avoided.
There are a couple of really handy things, ice scraper with bottle opener, for example.
Interior rubber mat linings appear in the armrest and passenger glove box areas.
It has a 12-inch plus screen that houses 5.0 software.
Preconditioning is now available for charging and optimization.
Drivers assistance systems can have their speed warning function disabled.
The vehicle is easy to drive, but large.
Expect some tire noise at motorway speeds.
Charging speeds are up to 185 kW.
The steering circle is quite nice.
It is full of safety features, and an exit warning system alerts the driver and prevents the door opening into traffic, a cyclist, or a pedestrian.
Overall, the new ID Buzz is full of safety features, now properly quick, but what you will really love is the heritage.
Delivery is expected in 2025.
