VW ID BUZZ LWB DRIVING REVIEW - SUITABLE 7-SEATER EV FOR THE FAMILY?

EV Channels Review

The VW ID. Buzz LWB is reviewed as a highly practical and spacious seven-seater EV, making it a strong contender for families. The reviewer highlights its impressive maneuverability for its size, particularly its tight turning circle and ease of parking, even in tight European spots. While the interior offers ample space and thoughtful storage solutions, the reviewer notes the hard-touch plastics and the inability to remove the second-row seats as minor drawbacks. Performance is deemed adequate, with the rear-wheel-drive version offering brisk acceleration and a comfortable ride, though the lack of adaptive suspension (DCC) is a missed opportunity for enhanced comfort. Real-world range is estimated at around 400 km on the highway and up to 500 km with more city driving, which is considered acceptable for family trips when combined with charging stops. The reviewer ultimately recommends the LWB version, especially the rear-wheel-drive variant, for its balance of space, practicality, and cost-effectiveness, suggesting it's a worthy electric successor to vehicles like the VW Multivan.
