COMEBACK OF THE YEAR! VW ID BUZZ REVEAL OF THE VOLKSWAGEN EV MICROBUS MULTIVAN

EV Channels Review

The VW ID. Buzz marks a significant return for the electric microbus, blending retro aesthetics with modern EV technology. The reviewer highlights its distinctive "humanized" retro design, reminiscent of the original T1, and its spacious interior built on the flexible MEB platform. Key positives include the animal-free interior materials, the comfortable and versatile seating arrangements (especially in the passenger version), and the practical cargo space. The reviewer notes the potential for a 350 km real-world range from the 77 kWh battery and the 170 kW DC charging capability. However, drawbacks mentioned are the lack of backlit buttons for climate controls and infotainment, and the fixed step in the cargo area which limits loading flexibility compared to other vans. The cargo variant is presented as a more utilitarian, cost-effective option, suitable for commercial use or as a basic transporter.
