Volkswagen ID.Buzz

Volkswagen ID.Buzz

FROM $69,990

The Volkswagen ID.Buzz was first revealed in 2022 as an electric people mover inspired by the classic VW Kombi. It launched in Europe as part of the Volkswagen ID family, offering seating for five and built on the MEB electric platform shared with other VW EVs. The design drew heavily on the T1 Microbus, linking heritage styling with modern technology.

By 2023 the Volkswagen ID.Buzz range expanded with the long-wheelbase model, offering more interior space and a three-row layout. North America received this version exclusively, marketed as the ID.Buzz LWB. Software updates and larger battery options improved efficiency and driving range, helping the model appeal to both family buyers and fleet operators.

Today the Volkswagen ID.Buzz continues as the brand’s flagship electric van. It is sold as both a passenger mover and ID.Buzz Cargo in overseas markets. The model plays a key role in Volkswagen’s global EV rollout and brand identity.

The line-up currently starts at $69,990 for the ID. Buzz Cargo Swb and ranges through to $104,990 for the range-topping ID. Buzz Gtx Lwb 4Motion.

Volkswagen ID. Buzz Accessories

The Cargo presents as a pretty classy version of a van. The twin side doors and choice of single or split tailgate are part of that, but even the timber floor in the load area suggests somebody has put a bit of thought into this car’s specification.

In the cabin, the three-across front seat is trimmed in tough cloth, and there’s a dual-zone climate-control system. A 12.9 inch touchscreen is the major interface, and the driver information is conveyed via a smaller, animated dashboard.

Volkswagen ID. Buzz FAQs

I want a sleek seven-seater.

It all depends on how you define long and bulky. But no seven-seater is going to be exactly small, is it? That’s because, to accommodate the third row of seats necessary to seat seven a vehicle physically has to be a certain length and there’s just no getting around that.

But I take your point; a lot of the seven-seat SUVs out there do seem pretty big. Again, however, that’s not a bad thing if you plan to fill all three rows of seats and still have some room left for luggage. The smaller seven-seaters aren’t all that good at this as the third row gobbles up the luggage space, making these cars best for those who only need seven seats on an occasional basis. If that’s your situation there are lots of mid-sized seven seaters around, but they’re pretty much all SUVs.

And while it goes against your preference for a smaller vehicle, the very best seven-seaters aren’t SUVs. They’re usually people-mover vans such as the Ford Tourneo, Kia Carnival and VW ID. Buzz. In fact, some of these even seat eight. They’re also a lot better for accessing the rearmost row of seats and they’ll still have lots of luggage space even with all seats occupied. And, yes, they look big, but that’s physics for you.

In the meantime, you could look at slightly less bulky options including the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-80 and Toyota Kluger. There’s also been speculation recently that Subaru’s seven-seat Tribeca might make a return to the Australian market.

Volkswagen ID. Buzz Engine

There are two powertrain options in the ID. Buzz range in Australia. The base rear-wheel drive version produces 210kW/560Nm, while the all-wheel drive GTX boosts total outputs to 250kW and over 600Nm of torque, although no official torque figure is given.

Volkswagen ID. Buzz Range

VW claims a 431km range for the Cargo and our testing revealed that this is a little optimistic, but not by too much. On an 11kW AC charger, the Cargo will charge form zero to 100 per cent in about seven-and-a-half hours, and on a fast DC charger will accept up to 185kW to go from five per cent charged to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes.
