VW ID BUZZ GTX REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The VW ID. Buzz GTX is presented as the range-topping, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive electric van, answering a question some viewers might not have asked. While acknowledging its practicality and unique appeal, the reviewer questions its necessity and high price point ($109,990 AUD plus on-roads). The GTX trim offers sportier styling with a revised bumper, 21-inch wheels, and GTX badging, along with a more performance-oriented interior featuring red stitching and embroidered seats. The reviewer notes the spacious interior, a large glass roof with adjustable opacity, and ample boot space, though criticizes the prevalence of hard plastics for the price. Driving dynamics are a mixed bag: the dual-motor setup provides rapid acceleration, but the ride is described as firm and fidgety due to the large wheels and low-profile tires, and the steering feels artificial. Road noise is also noted as being slightly higher. The reviewer suggests that for most buyers, the more affordable rear-wheel-drive Pro version offers better value and a more comfortable experience, unless all-wheel-drive performance is a strict requirement. Real-world efficiency is deemed acceptable given the vehicle's size and performance.
