2025 VW ID BUZZ 1ST EDITION LWB AWD VS VOLVO EX90 TWIN PLUS AWD

EV Channels Review

This video presents a comparative first look at the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz 1st Edition LWB AWD and the Volvo EX90 Twin Plus AWD. The reviewer highlights the ID. Buzz's exceptional third-row space and comfortable access, positioning it as a leader in this regard among electric SUVs. However, this comes at the cost of significantly reduced trunk space. The EX90, while more expensive, offers a larger trunk and a frunk, but its third-row seating is deemed very tight and impractical. Performance-wise, the EX90 boasts more power and a larger battery, with EPA range ratings exceeding those of the ID. Buzz. The ID. Buzz's real-world winter range was found to be considerably lower than its rated range, averaging 270 km on snow tires at 32 kWh/100km. Charging speeds for the ID. Buzz are improved with battery preconditioning. The reviewer notes the high price point for both vehicles in Canada, suggesting potential challenges for market adoption, especially for the ID. Buzz, which is positioned as a premium offering. The EX90's advanced features like lidar for future Level 3 autonomy are also mentioned. Ultimately, the ID. Buzz excels in passenger space, while the EX90 offers more cargo capacity and power, albeit at a higher cost.
