This shape is also too sci-fi, the public ID.Buzz officially released, is expected to be domestic
A few days ago, Volkswagen officially released its new pure electric MPV - ID.Buzz, which is based on the MEB pure electric platform. In fact, as early as the 2017 North American Auto Show, Volkswagen released the concept version of the ID.Buzz, at that time this car can be said to be avant-garde, and now the mass production car also greatly continues the design style of the concept car, and from the ID.Buzz's body to see the shadow of Volkswagen's classic model T1, so ID.Buzz is also a car worth looking forward to.
Background analysis
Volkswagen ID.Buzz will be divided into ID.Buzz (passenger version) and ID.Buzz Cargo (freight version) two, of which ID.Buzz will be produced in the Volkswagen commercial owner's factory in Hanover, Germany, the car will open pre-sale in the European market in May, and this autumn will be the first to be listed in the European market, and then will also land in the North American market, as to whether it will enter the domestic market, although there is no definite news, but I personally guess, ID.Buzz as a member of the MEB platform, there is a high probability that it will enter the domestic market, after all, there are already many pure electric MPV in the domestic market, such as Lantu Dreamer, Extreme Kr New Energy MPV, etc.
In terms of appearance, ID.Buzz as a whole follows the design of Volkswagen's classic model T1, while classic, it also adds the characteristics of modern vehicles, the entire front of the car looks like T1, but the simple design of the car with a two-color body, it seems very sci-fi. On the side of the body, the bottom of the A-pillar ID.Buzz is equipped with triangular windows to further eliminate blind spots, while the MPV's signature electric sliding door makes it easier for passengers to get on and off the bus.
In terms of size, the ID.Buzz has a length, width and height of 4712/1985/1937 mm and a wheelbase of 2988 mm, which is not very good for a medium-sized MPV. At the rear of the car, the ID.Buzz uses the popular through-type taillights, and there is a huge Volkswagen logo in the center of the rear, which brings good recognition.
Inside, ID.Buzz also adopts the latest interior design of the Volkswagen family, and adds the same color match as the exterior, making it look younger and full of vitality. In the car's center console, armrests, etc., ID.Buzz have been hollowed out, which can bring more storage space, which can still bring good practical results.
It is worth mentioning that the passenger version of the ID.Buzz uses a five-seat layout, and the front row of the freight version can choose two or three seats layout, the passenger version of the five seats may be a lot of people feel that it is not appropriate, I personally do not understand, after all, the positioning of the ID.Buzz is an MPV, but the freight version can choose 2/3 seats is still very good, the car can sit two people to change the opening.
As a product of the Volkswagen MEB pure electric platform, ID.Buzz adopts the layout of the rear-drive, the power of the motor is 150kW, the maximum torque is 310N·m, and it is equipped with a battery pack with a total capacity of 82kWh, and then it will also provide a four-wheel drive version with a maximum power of 300 horsepower, the maximum speed of the car is 145km/h, and it supports two-way charging function, which can charge external electrical appliances, but does not support vehicle-to-car charging. As for the endurance, the specific mileage has not yet been announced, but in terms of the 82kWh battery pack, it should be between 500-600km, if so, it is already relatively good for an MPV.
Editor's Comments:
From the product itself, the birth of the ID.Buzz is actually expected, this car really integrates the classic with the modern, so that it has the classic sense of the last century, but also has this actual sense of science and technology, which is the valuable place of this car, and this car also restores the dual-use attributes of Volkswagen T1 passenger and cargo, so in the future, after the listing of this car, whether it is home or commercial, you can choose different versions according to demand. However, it is not known whether ID.Buzz will be introduced into the domestic market, I think this car will definitely have a very good performance if it is introduced into the domestic market, its product power may not be as good as some new power brand models, but the characteristics of the integration of classic and modern are not available to competitors.
