Vans and volts: we test the new, all-electric Volkswagen ID Buzz in late prototype form ahead of its launch this October. Join ir_427 for your detailed early test 👀
people carrier, the ID. Buzz will come as a five-seater passenger car and as a three-seater van, the latter labelled ID. Buzz Cargo.
Passenger space is said to be at least as good as its cousins, thanks to the packaging advantages of the rear-mounted electric drive system; we’d argue the cab of the van felt a touch more claustrophobic than a Transporter’s, mind, thanks to the shallower windscreen.Yup, the only powertrain option that’s official at this stage is the 150kW RWD set-up. That’s equivalent to 201bhp and comes with 229lb ft of instant torque.
The less official word is that this means a WLTP driving range of around 250 miles, with other battery packs and a longer driving range also promised for the future. Max charging speed will be in the region of 135kW, inline with the ID. 5, and our best estimate suggests 0-62mph in about 9.8sec. What is familiar from other ID models is the immediate sense of polish about the drivetrain and the crisp digital instrument cluster with the drive selector nodule on the side. Most of the dashboard is, as we said, covered, with only the large central screen also visible. This is relaying route directions via Apple Maps.
The roundabouts, and the later countryside portions of the route, also demonstrate that while there is some body roll, it’s well controlled. Making allowances for the tall proportions, swift progress is no problem. And although the steering is light, and not especially feelsome, it’s also measured and direct enough that you neither fret about front-end grip nor find yourself endlessly twirling the wheel to make it through the turns.
