The ID. Buzz remains a cheaper alternative to the Mercedes-Benz EQV and eVito Tourer, as well as the Zeekr 009.  

Most ID.Buzz models continue to be powered by a single electric motor producing 210kW and 560Nm. 

GTX units get a dual-motor set-up, which produces 250kW and 560Nm and comes with all-wheel drive, as opposed to rear-wheel drive.

Driving range on the ID. Buzz varies between models, but all have more than 400km (WLTP).

The extension of this drive-away pricing deal for the ID. Buzz aligns with recent comments from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Director Nathan Johnson, with the brand eager to see sales take off. 

“I think we’re really starting to see the growth now [with ID.Buzz], which is probably a little bit later than I would have hoped for as a brand director and from a dealership network point of view,” Johnson told CarsGuide.
