Classic, retro, does not mean to be eliminated by the times. On the contrary, it can be blessed with new software and hardware technologies, coupled with the current trend of electric power, into a representative work of the new era. This is the Volkswagen brand ID. Buzz's two-car answer, its old representative model is the T1. Just today, Volkswagen Passenger Cars and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles jointly launched a new ID in Hamburg. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo。 Additionally, ID. Buzz will carry the latest version of the ID. software and sets new standards for driving safety, ride comfort and charging experience in this class.
As Volkswagen ID. A member of the family, ID. Buzz is also based on the Modular Electric Drive Platform (MEB) and is produced at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' plant in Hanover. The MEB platform is the world's first scalable all-electric vehicle platform for mass production, providing the basis for R&D and manufacturing for a wide range of models of different brands and market segments. In addition, the new electrical and electronic architecture makes it possible to continuously iterate software and technological functions, not only for IDs. Buzz is also available for all IDs that have been delivered. Models offer OTA remote upgrades.
The driver assistance system equipped with the new model will provide an easy and safe driving experience. ID. Buzz and ID. 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 transportation facilities. Also standard is the Front Assist pre-crash safety system, which also includes lane assist lane keeping on the MPV model. Through the new software, ID. The family will also have a new driver assistance system. The Travel Assist full-speed area driver assistance system based on group driving data will be an optional feature that not only provides partial autonomous driving functions in the full-speed domain range, but also adds the highway automatic lane change assistance system for the first time. In addition, the new "Memory Parking" feature enables automatic parking along pre-stored routes.
Up to 170 kW charging power, plug-and-play and two-way charging. Models launched in the European market will be equipped with a 77 kWh battery pack (total capacity: 82 kWh). Like the horizontally opposed engine of the T1 model, a 150 kW electric motor is used to drive the rear axle. Thanks to the battery system at the bottom of the vehicle and the lightweight electric drive system, the vehicle has a balanced front and rear weight distribution and a very low center of gravity, which optimizes handling and agility. Lithium-ion batteries can be charged with 11 kW AC via a charging wall box or a public charging pile. Dc fast charging power through the European CCS standard charging port is up to 170 kW, so it takes only 30 minutes to charge from 5% to 80%. Use the latest version of the ID. Software, ID. Buzz will also offer a "plug and charge" function in the future, which enables automatic authorization of compatible DC fast charging stations by using the charging interface of the ISO 15118 standard and automatically completes the necessary data exchange with the charging station. The bidirectional charging function enables the ID. Buzz is able to use excess power from the battery to power the user's home grid (V2H). Power transmission and communication require the use of a dedicated DC two-way charging wall box.
In the spacious interior of the car, ID. Buzz brings a new experience to bullied models for drivers and occupants. This is a very typical Bulli model, the layout of the vehicle is very clear, the design concept is well thought out, and the use of space is fully optimized. ID. Buzz's comfortable lounge-like cabin allows 5 people to enjoy ample ride and luggage space (up to 1,121 litres). With the second row of seats receded, the luggage compartment capacity can be expanded to 2,205 litres. The ID. Buzz Cargo models also stand out, with a two- or three-seat layout at the front, depending on user needs, separated from the rear 3.9 cubic metre cargo compartment by a fixed partition. This zero-emission van can be loaded with two transverse European standard pallets.
Long wheelbase, compact body size for maximum use of space. ID. Buzz and ID. One of the key features of Buzz Cargo is its 2,988 mm wheelbase, which is comparable to the current T6.1 model. Both new cars are 4,712 mm long, and the long wheelbase is more prominent than the overall body length, making the most of the space inside the car. Including the roof aerodynamics components, two IDs. Buzz's vehicle height is 1,937 mm or 1,938 mm depending on the configuration. The 1,985 mm vehicle width is 81 mm wider than the T6.1 model and the steering diameter is only 11.1 m.
The first MPV model to have a sedan-like drag coefficient. The design of the first T1 Bulli was based on the need for functionality. Therefore, the core principle of "form serves function" also applies to ID. Buzz。 The iconic exterior design has excellent aerodynamic properties: ID. Buzz wind resistance coefficient is only 0.285, ID. Buzz Cargo's wind resistance coefficient is only 0.29, which reduces energy consumption and improves battery life.
Volkswagen said that whether it is a minibus version or a van version, whether it is for domestic or commercial use, choose ID. Buzz is the choice of a green and environmentally friendly low-carbon travel mode.
