On March 10, 2022, Volkswagen officially released the latest member of the long-awaited ID. family, ID.BUZZ, which is a pure electric MPV model, using the family design elements of the Volkswagen pure electric ID. series, and this release has a total of two models, namely the 5-seat passenger version and the two-seat closed cargo version.
Passenger version
ID.BUZZ adopts a very refreshing two-color body design, the main body is sprayed with distinct orange, yellow, blue and other colors, and the half of the body is embellished with plain white, which completely breaks the too dull image of the existing MPV products, of course, this also pays tribute to the T1 van of the Volkswagen brand to a certain extent.
The headlights adopt the consistent design language of the ID. family, and the two LED daytime running lights on the upper and lower sides surround the outline of the headlights, and then cooperate with the two light bars on the inside that reach the LOGO to form the iconic ID. family shape. In addition, the Volkswagen VW logo in the middle is also much larger than any ID model, which is also a tribute to the classic T1.
The overall coverage area of the huge bumper is huge, and the central opening is built into a diamond-shaped grid with a gradient to make it small, which is both beautiful and heat dissipating. The black part in the middle is the front radar of the active cruise system. The black dot above the plate frame is the front ultra-wide camera.
On the side, due to the structural optimization brought about by the electrified platform, the engine compartment and the front suspension of the ID.BUZZ are extremely short, which also gives it as much crew compartment space as possible. In terms of dimensions, the car has a length, width and height of 4712/1985/1937mm, and the wheelbase has reached a staggering 2988mm, which is very conducive to finding a place to stay in a crowded city.
Due to the structure of the rear side sliding doors, the front of the taillights left traces of hidden slides, and of course, the three transverse trim strips on the D-pillar took away the visual focus of this area and added to the playful feel of the car.
The rear of the car is also a bright and bright shape, the through-type taillights are also a family design, and the brand LOGO is still an oversized existence.
The interior part is also quite interesting, first of all, the same double color design as the body appearance, and the gray and white color scheme brings an incomparably fresh feeling. Of course, practicality is also its highlight, such as the two sides of the instrument panel, the multi-level door trim and the detachable savings box in the center of the front row.
The steering wheel shape is a familiar look, but the white color scheme is really too exciting, I just don't know if it is very dirty. The size of the full LCD instrument is not large, but it maintains the design characteristics of the ID. family, with a 12-inch central control screen suspended on the center console, and the function is in line with other existing models that have been listed.
The first to be released is the 5-seat version of the model, the front seats are all electrically adjustable, and equipped with two independent armrests, the rear row is a 4/6 proportional split seat, the front and rear movement and backrest angle adjustment all need to be manually adjusted. The sliding doors in the rear side create a huge opening that makes it easy to get on and off the bus.
Thanks to the large interior space, the ID.BUZZ offers a huge storage space in the trunk, and the floor and sides of the body are very flat, and the loading capacity should not be underestimated. It is reported that the official will also launch a larger 7-seat version in the future to further enhance the carrying capacity of this car.
In terms of power, the ID.BUZZ uses rear-wheel drive, with a maximum power of 204 hp and a maximum torque of 310 Nm. The power battery pack arranged on the bottom of the car has a capacity of 77 kWh, but the specific mileage has not yet been officially announced.
Van version
The van version is not much different from the passenger version in terms of overall shape design, and it is almost impossible to see the difference except for the closed side windows. Of course, the white enclosed deck itself was already eye-catching.
The overall design of the car is basically not much adjusted, but the black + gray color scheme is obviously not as dynamic as the passenger version. Fortunately, an additional storage slot has been added directly above the dashboard, which is a small benefit for users who run freight.
The front seats still provide two separate armrests, but due to closed cargo compartments, the adjustable angle of the front seat backrests is very limited, and the co-pilot's adjustment method has become manual. Fortunately, the platform between the front seats is still a credential, and it is easy to step over to the opposite side.
The overall volume of the closed cargo box in the back is not small, and the official gives two standard wooden beats to make a demonstration. Moreover, the center of the surrounding barn plate also provides a mounting slot for quick anchor points, which is conducive to fixing the goods.
From the concept car in 2017 to the official release today, Volkswagen's pure electric MPV that pays tribute to the classic has finally come to the front of the stage from behind the scenes. Although it is still some distance away from us Chinese consumers, I believe that in the era of full electrification, this car will not make us wait too long.
