2025 VW ID BUZZ CARGO REVIEW: IT'S THE MOST EPIC WORK VAN (WITH A CATCH)

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo is presented as a highly capable and surprisingly dynamic electric work van, particularly for the Australian market. The reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, reminiscent of the classic Combi, and praises its impressive acceleration and handling, especially for a vehicle of its type. The 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.03 seconds and its ability to corner with minimal body roll are standout features. The interior is noted for its comfort, extensive storage solutions (including the largest door bins the reviewer has seen), and a responsive 12.9-inch infotainment system. Practicality is further emphasized by its 3.9 cubic meter cargo capacity, capable of holding two Euro pallets, and a 774 kg payload. However, the "catch" mentioned in the title is its significant price tag, starting at $90,990 before on-road costs and easily escalating with optional extras. Another drawback is the real-world range, estimated to be around 400 km, which might be limiting for extensive road trips in Australia. The reviewer also points out the lack of under-seat or behind-seat storage in the front cabin as a minor inconvenience for a cargo van.
