A tribute to the classic T1 model
The new car pays tribute to the Volkswagen classic car T1 with a delicate retro design, and the overall design can still see many classic design elements under the DESIGN language of the ID family. For example, the rounded front design and the classic two-color body make it more eye-catching than the traditional MPV.
The front face shape inherits the classic design of Volkswagen T1, and the two-color stitching color matching matches the huge car logo, it is not difficult to see the shadow of the Volkswagen T1, and the smiley face on the front of the car is also full of magic. The headlight design is still designed with the ID series, the through-LED daytime running lights make it look recognizable, and the headlights will also use IQ.Ligrt matrix headlights. The diamond-shaped grid at the bottom of the front face is also designed by the ID series model family, which further proves its identity as a pure electric model.

The Volkswagen T1 driver's seat is located above the front axle with almost no front overhang, while the ID. The Buzz front suspension is also short, but Volkswagen officials say it can also provide excellent safety and advanced technology configuration, and this design can further improve the utilization of interior space.

The rear styling design of the vehicle continues the very simple design of the ID series models, and the two-color body is matched with through taillights and the model name logo on the rear tailgate, which looks so familiar. But it is worth noting that the new car has three shutter decorations in the D-pillar position, which is also a tribute to the first three generations of the T series models with rear-mounted engines.
Simplicity is not simple
The interior design of the new car is very simple, and the steering wheel, instrument panel and central control screen are full of family characteristics of the ID series models. Although the overall shape design of the center console is simple, the practicality is not reduced. For example, the Type-C interface on the right side of the steering wheel, the mobile phone stand and the storage compartment in front of the co-driver all make the new car very practical.
The three-spoke multi-function steering wheel covered in white leather and the small-sized full-LCD instrument seem to have become the iconic design of id series models. However, the shift layout is slightly different from that of models such as ID.3, ID.4, and ID.6. The 12-inch central control display further enhances the sense of technology in the car, and the system will also be equipped with the latest 3.0 multimedia entertainment system, which is expected to improve the Caton phenomenon of ID.3 and ID.4.

Buzz Cargo will come standard with the Car2X local traffic warning system, which will grasp the danger information in real time through signals shared by other vehicles and traffic facilities.
