In North America in the 1960s and 1970s, along with hippie culture, sexual liberation movements, anti-Vietnam War marches, and the desegregation system, there must have been a Volkswagen T-series van.
From the Volkswagen T1 to the Volkswagen T2, this small van of the Volkswagen brand has become a representative of the culture of this period.
A few years ago, the Volkswagen T2, which had been in production for more than half a century, was officially discontinued in South America. Subsequently, this retro vintage vintage van set off a boom in the domestic automotive culture circle.
After more than half a century, Volkswagen has once again brought the culture of vans back into the public eye.
Recently, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles officially released two production versions of the ID. Buzz。 The new vehicle will be launched on the market as a new electrification solution for Volkswagen for the commercial vehicle segment.
Anyway, that taste of the Volkswagen bread of the year, in this ID. Buzz, it's really back.
Depending on the positioning, the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz offers a cargo logistics version of blind windows and a regular van passenger car version, which is very much in line with the product positioning of European vans.
On the whole, whether it is the cargo version of the blind window or the ordinary passenger version, the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz is in the public T1 modeling language, the use of modern design techniques, with retro techniques to fully express the fashion and technology design concepts.
Purely in terms of the overall image, Volkswagen ID. The Buzz has a great sense of concept car, but it's already a production car on the market.
Proportionally, the brand new Volkswagen ID. Buzz continues the standard sedan design by moving the A-pillar forward and thus forming a double A-pillar design, extending the length of the roof as much as possible, while forming a short-headed design with the short front.
The characteristics of the roof are also specialized colors to form a brim-like image.
In the underbody part, the advantages of the electric vehicle platform make the Volkswagen ID. Buzz could easily build an image of a short front suspension, bringing it infinitely proportionally close to the rear-drive Volkswagen T1 from sixty years ago.
Combined with the design of the short front, a pure visual sense of the single-car is formed. Under the design of the four wheels and four corners, the Volkswagen ID. The Buzz has a wheelbase of 2988 mm and a body length of 4712 mm.
In terms of details, because the electric vehicle does not have the engine intake demand, the ID. The front face of Buzz is also completely in line with the design of the Volkswagen T1 of that year, with a large-size Volkswagen logo as the visual subject of the front of the car, and the LED headlights on both sides constitute a connection relationship.
Through the clever color separation design, the part of the carriage and the mechanical part of the underside of the body are visually separated, and the color separation line is also cleverly integrated into the side window slide.
The design of the rear of the car also weakens the visual proportion of the tail lights in the whole as much as possible, and takes the Volkswagen logo and flat surface as the overall visual focus.
Inside the vehicle, thanks to the design of the double A-pillar, the Volkswagen ID. The Buzz's front row has a fairly good sense of view, with the A-pillar being removed from the driver's view, and the straight roof greatly improving its use of space.
The design of the dashboard adopts the most typical straight treatment of commercial vehicles, which reduces the encroachment of the dashboard shape on the internal space as much as possible.
The multimedia display area is efficiently integrated into a floating LCD display, and without the sub-instrument panel, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz's front and rear spaces are also fully connected.
It is worth mentioning that as a commercial vehicle and a new car that reproduces the essence of the T1 design, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz's steering wheel tilt has also been increased, which makes the driving experience of the whole car closer to the appearance of the T1.
Depending on the positioning, the volkswagen ID of the passenger version. Buzz will also provide more diversified color matching options in the interior, making the interior of the car more lively and personalized.
Due to size limitations, Volkswagen ID. The buzz's passenger version only offers a two-row seat layout, with the second row of seats using one-piece seats like the T1.
However, thanks to the large space utilization of the van, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz's trunk space can reach 1121L under normal circumstances, and after reclining the rear seats, it can reach 2205L.
And the front seats can be provided in two or three seat layouts according to customer needs. The blind window cargo version of the model provides a fixed partition behind the first row of seats, and the rear loading space can reach 3.9 cubic meters.
At not too large body sizes, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz has indeed maximized the use of space volume.
Since Volkswagen released the ID series of electric vehicles, whether it is Volkswagen ID.3 or Volkswagen ID.6, Volkswagen's electric vehicles have been designed with a feeling that they have not been able to depart from traditional fuel vehicles.
This time Volkswagen ID. Buzz's debut can leave this skepticism completely behind.
Volkswagen ID. Buzz is not only unique as a commercial vehicle, but even as a vehicle for personal commuting. This is very similar to the Volkswagen T1 that appeared with the hippies sixty years ago.
In terms of power, Volkswagen ID. The Buzz is equipped with a 150 kW electric motor, and like the Volkswagen T1, this electric motor is also placed on the rear axle in a flat manner.
The battery capacity is 77 kWh, but there is also an 82 kWh version, and the battery is located in the middle of the floor, thus reducing the center of gravity of the vehicle.
In Europe, Volkswagen ID. Buzz can charge from 5% to 80% in 30 minutes using DC fast charging, and can also support slow charging for home use. However, the mileage, there is no specific information at present.
In terms of security configuration, Volkswagen ID. Buzz comes standard with active safety features such as automatic emergency braking and lane keeping.
In addition, the new driver assistance technology is also available in volkswagen ID. Buzz is used, according to volkswagen official news shows that volkswagen ID. Buzz can implement automatic lane change on highways.
Under this, the sense of technology and fashion are also in the public ID. Buzz was presented.
This wave of operations by Volkswagen combines the attributes of commercial vehicles and passenger cars with the futuristic positioning of new energy power.
You say that it is a commercial vehicle, but it is full of personalized life atmosphere, it is a personalized play car, it has no lack of commercial vehicles of diversified appeals.
Such a feeling is really an inexplicable coordination, but the problem is that id. Will Buzz be domestic and when will it be domestic?
