VOLKSWAGEN ID BUZZ 7 SEATER - A BIGGER BUZZ!

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz Long Wheelbase significantly enhances the original model by introducing a much-needed seven-seat configuration and a larger 86 kWh battery, extending the WLTP range to 293 miles. The reviewer praises its iconic, smile-inducing design, improved performance with a 286 PS motor (0-60 in 7.9 seconds), and excellent driving dynamics, including refinement and comfort, even on 21-inch wheels. Practicality is also a strong point, with a 306-liter boot in seven-seat mode and ample space when seats are folded. However, the reviewer expresses disappointment that the interior, particularly the rear, lacks the innovation and versatility found in Volkswagen's Multivan, with fixed seats that don't swivel and a less adaptable layout. The touch-sensitive controls and the necessity of the GTX performance variant are also questioned. Despite these criticisms, the long-wheelbase version is deemed a substantial improvement and the one to buy over the standard model, offering great value for its increased space and battery.
