In China, when it comes to MPV, we are definitely associated with business. Even if it can't be directly linked to business, then "IKEA IKEA" can clearly depict the positioning of MPV.
Especially in recent years, with the rise of 7-seat SUVs, for users, MPVs are suitable for business reception. Otherwise, even if the three tires are released, if a family does not count the parents, that is, 5 people, a family car is enough.
Therefore, as the new energy transformation of Volkswagen's "T-car", Volkswagen ID.BUZZ at the beginning I thought it should be more commercial. But what I didn't expect was that Volkswagen ID.BUZZ after the interior was announced, let me see a different MPV.
[1] The lateral width of the model is not large
As a pure electric vehicle, the battery is on the ground, so the interior space including the utilization rate will certainly be greater than that of the fuel car. But when I saw Volkswagen ID.BUZZ interior, I felt that its horizontal space was really not much. As you can see from the picture, there is a particularly small storage space between the two seats, and there is a separate armrest on each side of the front seat. Probably limited by the overall size, I think its actual size may not be as big as the Odyssey.
[2] Fabric seats + second row folding, this is a pure family car
In fact, in recent years, various european car manufacturers have begun to use fabric seats. On the one hand, these seats are made of recyclable materials, which are more environmentally friendly than leather seats. Second, after the fabric seat has been treated by a special process, the anti-fouling ability has been greatly improved. Even in terms of texture, it feels better than leather seats.
But for the majority of Chinese users, the first thing that comes to mind at a glance is that the fabric seat is not advanced, and in the eyes of Chinese users, even if it is a leatherette seat, it is also leather. A seat made of fabric is a cloth. Cloth is not as good as leather.
In addition, through the interior pictures ID.BUZZ volkswagen, we can clearly see that the second row of seats is not two independent seats, but three seats, which adopts a 2+3+2 structure, rather than the traditional MPV2+2+3 structure.
Therefore, the second row of seats will not have leg drags, and the seat design is relatively thin, especially the backrest design is very thin, the advantage is to support the flat after completely reclining, but the disadvantage is not business, this is a pure household MPV.
[3] There is no big exaggeration in the trunk space
Although Volkswagen ID.BUZZ is a pure electric vehicle, it is said that the trunk space will be particularly large, but the trunk space ID.BUZZ volkswagen is not exaggerated. However, the flat state after the seat is reclined makes the space utilization in the car very good.
Summary: I think the development concept and use concept of the car in Europe are really very different. The Chinese market MPV first thinks of business, and the European MPV first thinks of home. Volkswagen ID.BUZZ creates a feeling through the changeable seat combination in the car, which many Chinese users do not understand. In the eyes of Chinese users, leather seats, the second row of independent seats are necessary for MPV, so the high-end GL8, Odyssey, Jawa, and Xena are all the same style.
However, I still like the design of Volkswagen ID.BUZZ, and I don't know if this car will be domestic.
