GAME CHANGER? FIRST RIDE IN THE VW ID BUZZ EV MULTIVAN!

EV Channels Review

The VW ID. Buzz EV Multivan is presented as a potential game-changer, blending retro design with modern electric vehicle technology. The reviewer highlights its unique market position, noting the absence of direct competitors. Key strengths identified include its surprisingly agile and sporty driving feel, attributed to the rear-wheel-drive setup and low center of gravity, making it handle like a smaller vehicle despite its size. The ride comfort is praised, even with larger wheels, and the cabin is described as exceptionally quiet, ideal for conversation or enjoying audio. The reviewer also points out the practicality of the MEB platform, offering ample interior space and a flat floor. While the initial 204 hp engine is deemed smooth rather than overly aggressive, the possibility of a more powerful GTX version is speculated. The main drawback mentioned is the current range, estimated to be slightly less than the ID.4 due to the vehicle's weight, and the potential for long waiting lists.
