Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo review

Weve already heaped praise on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz MPV, but like many of its rivals, it also comes as a panel van with no rear seats and a spacious load area. But do the ID. Buzz Cargos retro looks come at the expense of outright space and versatility?

Advertisement - Article continues below

There is just one body size available from launch, although a longer-wheelbase model is due in 2023. You get a choice of a single-piece tailgate or split twin doors at the rear, plus sliding doors on either side of the van all of which open to reveal 3.9 cubic metres of cargo space. Thats a usable area, though down slightly on rivalslike Citroen e-Dispatch, Fiat E-Scudo and Vauxhall Vivaro Electric.

The main reason for this is the relatively high floor; the battery is mounted beneath it and the motor sits on the rear axle, which ultimately limits how much you can carry in the back. Volkswagen claims you can fit two Euro pallets in the back of the Buzz, which also features eight tie-down points and an area to store the charging cables. However, theres no avoiding the fact you can cram just as much into the far cheaper and far smaller Citroen e-Berlingo.

But nothing in this class can match the Buzz when it comes to range. The Volkswagens 77kWh battery is only slightly larger than the biggest unit offered in the E-Scudo, but the official figure is much better; VW claims 256 miles on a charge, compared to the Fiats 202-mile maximum. Further to this, if you do most of your journeys around town, VW quotes an unbeatable 356 miles on the WLTP City cycle. Remarkably, its also cheaper to buy, and posts stronger residual values than its competitors, too.

Then theres charging; despite sharing its platform and much of its hardware with the Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4, the Buzz Cargo has an improved maximum rapid charging speed of 170kW faster than all of its commercial rivals, including the forthcoming Ford E-Transit Custom. This should be enough for a 5-80% charge (officially over 200 miles) in half an hour. Itll take around 12 hours to fully recharge the Buzzs 77kWh battery via a 7kW wallbox.

Inside, you get the same basic design as youll find in the MPV version of the ID. Buzz, with two screens and a set of similarly-frustrating touch-sensitive controls. Storage is good, though, with big door bins, cupholders on the dash and useful cubbies. Quality cant match the more expensive people-mover, but you expect that in a van and the Buzz Cargo still trumps its rivals in this respect.

You get more durable black trim and seats in the Cargo, too, with a bench seat big enough to carry larger adults three-abreast. The elevated driving position gives you a great view out, even if you dont sit right over the front wheels like you did in the original Type 2 van. Of course, like in most commercial vehicles, the fixed bulkhead limits your view rearwards.

Starting up is a doddle; theres no need to turn a key or push a button you simply sit in and select drive. This is a pleasingly tactile experience, too, as the Buzz lifts its rotary gear selector from the ID.3 and ID.4. Its easy to operate, and all the parking-sensors and camera equipment (where fitted) shows up on the central screen.

In addition to those dual displays, every Buzz Cargo gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are two models: the Commerce and the Commerce Plus, with the latter adding 19-inch alloys, navigation and heated windscreen to the basic cars steel wheels, heated drivers seat and cruise control. The better-specified van costs around 5,000 more, but brings body-coloured trim, too, while the standard Buzz just gets black bumpers.

Theres only one motor option at launch, shared with VWs electric hatchbacks and SUVs. But with 201bhp it still manages to haul the Buzzs considerable kerbweight with relative ease its certainly a lot more alert than, say, an E-Scudo or Vivaro Electric. The Buzzs 310Nm of torque should also make light work of substantial loads.

But perhaps the most pleasant surprise is how the Buzz Cargo behaves on the move whether thats around town, on rural roads, or out on the motorway its smooth, quiet and remarkably responsive. With the battery mounted down low, the centre of gravity works in the vans favour, with very little roll, and direct steering.

There is no wind noise, and little road noise, and the structure feels largely immune from any unwanted shakes or rattles you might expect in a vehicle like this. The ride is pleasant on the whole; only the largest or deepest potholes upset the Buzz Cargos composure.

One area wed wish for some improvement is with the regenerative brakes; like in the ID.3, the B mode isnt all that strong, and cant offer one-pedal driving. Still, even using the brake pedal prioritises regen first and foremost sending power back into the battery at forces of up to 0.3g.

Overall, while the Buzz Cargo might look like a van you buy with your heart rather than your head, the competitive pricing, strong range and fast charging means there is plenty to recommend. It may not be the biggest van in this class, but there are loads of practical touches and the load area is still a usable shape and size. A modern successor to the old Type 2 has been a long time coming, but its been very much worth the wait.

Volkswagen ID. Buzz

Battery electric minivan

Motor vehicle

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is a battery electric minivan produced by German manufacturer Volkswagen. Based on the dedicated battery electric MEB platform, it is the first production electric minivan from Volkswagen and part of the Volkswagen ID. series.^[4] The design of the ID. Buzz is inspired by the Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Microbus.

The vehicle was first shown as a concept car at the 2017 North American International Auto Show. The production vehicle was unveiled in March 2022 with production starting in June, and European deliveries in the second half of the year with two models: a five-seater under the name ID. Buzz, and a cargo van as the ID. Buzz Cargo.^[4] The U.S. production version had its North American launch in Huntington Beach, California on 2 June 2023,^[6] and availability is slated for 2024 in a long-wheelbase version.^[3] This version will also be used for the California campervan variant of the ID. Buzz.

Also a reference to the sound of electricity, the name "Buzz" was derived from the word bus, as the original Volkswagen Type 2/Microbus is commonly known simply as the "Volkswagen Bus".^[7]

Overview[edit]

Responding to positive feedback and strong consumer interest for the ID.Buzz Concept shown at Detroit and Geneva in 2017, CEO Herbert Diess announced in August that VW would put the vehicle into production and begin selling it in 2022.^[8]

The production version of the ID.Buzz debuted on 9 March 2022.^[4][3] It is one of nine new Volkswagen brand models based on the MEB platform.^[9][10] The ID.Buzz will be available in Europe the second half of 2022, and the US in 2024.^[3] Pre-orders in Europe began in May. Series production started in June, with an annual capacity of 130,000 units.^[11] The first deliveries were scheduled for the third quarter of 2022;^[12] the first ID.Buzz off the production line was a Cargo model, delivered to Wolfgang Kempe GmbH in Isernhagen on 15 November 2022.^[13][14]

The ID.Buzz is produced by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in Hanover;^[12] because prior ID.series vehicles have been built at the Volkswagen Zwickau-Mosel Plant, the Hanover factory needed to be retooled to accommodate EV assembly.^[15] Although the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant began building the MEB-based ID.4 in 2021 for the US market,^[16] Volkswagen Group of America CEO Scott Keogh stated in January 2022 that bringing production of US ID.Buzz models to Chattanooga is unlikely.^[17]

In Europe, it will launch in two configurations, a five-seater passenger van, and a cargo van; initially, a short-wheelbase version with rear-wheel drive will be available.^[3] A seven-passenger, long-wheelbase version debuted on June 2, 2023, in Huntington Beach, California, and will be the only version for sale in the US when it goes on sale in June 2024 for the 2025 model year.^[3][18] The ID.Buzz will be launched in Australasia alongside ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5 in mid-2024.^[19]

According to product lead Jeffrey Lear, the styling of the ID.Buzz was chosen to "be modern and fresh and exciting for folks who may not have even been around [during the 1960s and 70s]" while retaining cues to the original Type 2 (T1)/Microbus, including the prominent front-mounted logo and (optional) two-tone paint.^[20]

The designer of the ID.Buzz is Klaus Zyciora, Head of Volkswagen Group Design.^[21] The coefficient of drag is 0.285 for the SWB passenger version and 0.29 for the Cargo.^[22]

Dimensions[edit]

At 2,988mm (117.6in), the wheelbase of the ID.Buzz (SWB) is similar to that of the current Volkswagen Transporter (T6); it is 81mm (3.2in) wider than the T6 and features a turning circle of 11.1m (36ft),^[12] which is approximately the same as a Golf.^[22]

The long wheelbase version of the ID.Buzz stretches that dimension and overall length by 250mm (9.8in) to 3,238 and 4,962mm (127.5 and 195.4in), respectively;^[5] US-spec ID.Buzz (LWB) have the same wheelbase but are slightly shorter, at 4,887mm (192.4in).^[23][24] The ID.Buzz (LWB) has three rows of seats and accommodates up to 2,469L (87.2cuft) of cargo with the seats folded.^[5] Compared to the SWB, the LWB sliding side doors are 190mm (7.6in) longer to ease access to the third row.^[23]

Interior[edit]

The SWB/RWD passenger version is equipped with five seats; behind the rear bench seat, there is 1,121L (39.6cuft) of cargo area.^[12][22] Three rows of seating will be made available later; for the SWB model, each row will have two seats for a total capacity of six, while on the long-wheelbase (LWB) model, the middle row will accommodate three for a total capacity of seven.^[20] With the second row folded down on the five-passenger SWB/RWD model, cargo capacity increases to 2,205L (77.9cuft).^[12] The ID.Buzz Cargo has two or three seats in the first row only with a fixed partition; behind the partition, the Cargo version has a capacity of 3,900L (138cuft).^[12][22]

Seating surfaces use recycled plastics. There is no leather option.^[20]

The vehicle's instruments are displayed on a 130mm (5.3in) screen.^[22] In-car entertainment and climate controls are provided on a second centrally-positioned screen; the standard infotainment screen is 250mm (10in), with a 300mm (12in) screen as an option.^[20] U.S.-spec ID.Buzz (LWB) vans receive a slightly larger 330mm (12.9in) screen shared with the ID.7.^[24] The vehicle is equipped with up to eight USB ports.^[22]

Powertrain[edit]

The short-wheelbase (SWB) version is equipped with rear-axle APP 310 motor with an output of 150kW (201hp) and 310Nm (229lbft).^[20] The LWB version is available with an upgraded APP 550 traction motor for the rear axle with a peak output of 210kW (286hp) and 550Nm (406lbft);^[5][23] the increased output results from improvements to the rotor and stator, and the APP 550 also offers improved efficiency thanks to the inverter.^[25] An all-wheel-drive version will be made available in 2024 for the LWB with a combined output of 250kW (339hp).^[5]

The SWB/RWD version has an 81kW-hr battery, of which 77kW-hr are usable; the estimated driving range is 400480km (250300mi).^[20][22] As tested, the SWB/RWD Cargo has a combined energy consumption of 2.93mi/kWh (99mpge; 21.2kWh/100km), giving an estimated range of 410413km (255257mi) with the 77kW-hr battery on the WLTP cycle.^[26] LWB versions are equipped with a larger battery, which has a gross and net capacity of 91 and 85kW-hr, respectively;^[5] the estimated maximum range is 406418km (252260mi) for the EPA driving cycle.^[23]

The vehicle can accept power at a rate of up to 11kW using an AC source, or 170kW at a DC fast-charging station; at the latter rate, the 81/77kW-hr battery will charge from 5% to 80% in 30minutes.^[20] It will be capable of bidirectional V2X supply, supplying power to the electrical grid or a household as needed,^[20] although this feature is not expected to be implemented for the US model.^[3] A future software update is planned to allow Plug & Charge functionality, where the vehicle will authenticate itself at a compatible DC fast-charging station via the ISO 15118 standard.^[12]

Versions[edit]

The ID.Buzz Cargo is based on the short wheelbase version with a minimal number of seats and no rear window. The rear of the vehicle, which is separated from the cab by a bulkhead partition, has 3.9m³ (137.7cuft) of volume and can carry up to two EUR-pallets. Depending on the configuration, the cab can accommodate two (two individual bucket seats) or three (a double bench and a separate bucket for the driver) people.^[27][28]

It has dual sliding side doors and an option between a liftgate (with a window) or dual wing doors (without windows) for the rear. With the liftgate, cargo area length is 2,208mm (86.9in); with the wing doors, cargo length is 2,232mm (87.9in). Interior height and maximum interior width are 1,330 and 1,217mm (52.4 and 47.9in), respectively.^[26] Gross vehicle weight rating is 3,000kg (6,600lb) and the empty kerb weight is 2,3932,408kg (5,2765,309lb), depending on trim, giving a payload of 592607kg (1,3051,338lb).^[26]

Euro NCAP awarded the ID Buzz Cargo a Platinum safety rating for commercial vehicles in March 2024. It achieved the highest level in four out of six categories for AEB Car-to-Car, Lane Support Systems, Speed Assist Systems and Occupant Status Monitoring with an overall score of 83%.^[29][30]

Future development[edit]

ID. California[edit]

In December 2021, Volkswagen confirmed the ID.Buzz would be used as the basis for a future motorhome version, tentatively named ID.California.^[31]In August 2023, Edison Media reported that the project was delayed due to weight concerns.^[32]

Instead, VW currently market a T6-based campervan in Europe as the Volkswagen California.^[33], and presented a T7 Multivan "California Concept" in August 2023 planned for 2024 and including Hybrid variants.^[34]

Autonomous driving[edit]

According to the chief executive of VW Autonomy, Alex Hitzinger, the ID.Buzz minivan is the basis of Volkswagen's self-driving automobile,^[35] and could be used for VW's ride-pooling service branded MOIA, competing with Uber.^[36] MOIA launched in April 2019, serving Hamburg, Germany, after a 2018 trial with a small fleet of battery electric Multivan T6 vehicles.^[37] The autonomous features are part of the "I.D. Pilot" mode, which is anticipated to become available in 2025.^[38]

In 2021, late prototype versions of the production ID.Buzz were fitted with autonomous vehicle hardware and software from Argo AI for testing on public roads in Munich and at the company's private test track near the Munich airport. Previously in 2019, VW had invested US$2.6billion in Argo as part of a partnership with Ford Motor Company to develop autonomous vehicles.^[39] On 26 October 2022, with Argo announcing its closure, VW said it would pursue automation technology with Bosch and Horizon Robotics instead.^[40]

Concept versions[edit]

Motor vehicle

Concept car descriptions in 2017 indicated the electric microbus could be produced in two versions: a high-end 275kW (369hp) all-wheel-drive version with one motor each on the front and rear axles and an 111 kilowatt-hours (400MJ) battery pack,^[38] and a less-expensive 200kW (268hp) rear-wheel-drive version with an 83kWh (300MJ) battery pack.^[9]

Cargo variant[edit]

The I.D. Buzz Cargo (stylized as the ID. BUZZ CARGO) debuted at the 2018 IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Hannover^[43] as a support vehicle for the Volkswagen I.D. R Pikes Peak Hillclimb racer. The Cargo has a maximum estimated cargo capacity of 1,760lb (800kg) and uses the simplified rear-drive powertrain.^[44]

The Cargo prototype was shown in October 2019 at Nike stores in Santa Monica, California; Chicago; and New York City with retro livery branded "Blue Ribbon Sports", the predecessor company to athletic apparel manufacturer Nike, Inc.^[45]

The concept vehicle was first shown as a prototype at the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit,^[46] then shown again at Geneva in March.^[47] Members of the automotive press were invited to drive the concept during Monterey Car Week later that year, in August,^[48] where it was also announced that a production vehicle based on this prototype will be launched.^[49]
