There have been a few posts about the MEB based VW ID. Buzz small van / people carrier, but its now been seen out and about testing, so I think its worth a thread all of it's own.

Spyshots of exterior and interior here:-

Video of it in Norway from Bjorn Nyland
 

 

Finally after many years of spin.

 

This is the best 2022 Social Media coverage VW Media team could get by just parking next to one of the most viewed Youtube EV Vloggers in the world.

How lucky are they.

 

It has taken VW Group long enough to get to this stage after all the Media / Internet Coverage they have squeezed out of the ID.Buzz pictures

youre correct George,

considering the guy was in it, and just wandered off while yer ma was clearly talking about it... if it was "pure coincidence" and "wasnt for public viewing yet" wouldnt you get out tell the vlogger to go **** off and stop filming?? 🤣 

 

 

Wunderba.

 

 

Say it as you see it which is why i so like him and Bob Flavin & some other Vloggers reviewing EV's or ICE vehicles.

Not always the case with Motoring Journalist employed by motoring journals that publish Cars of the Year, Best top 10 etc.

Top Gear overview

 

Interesting that the guy clearly doesn't like EVs nor VW's haptic buttons, but gets to go the product launch of something that has all of those. I really like the Buzz, they've done a good job of styling and packaging. The ID ride and handling are excellent IMO, so this will be a great family bus. I can also see them becoming beloved of Taxi drivers....

Motor at the rear but still there needed to be plenty packaged at the front as with any VW EV's.

In depth review by Autogefuhl from the launch day

 

 

VW Group should be able to say after all the years of R&D if you can charge to 100% and leave the car an hour at temps above freezing then fill the seats with a driver and people or 100kg per seat and 100kg in the boot and drive 110 miles, park for 1 hour and then do the return journey and have still power in the battery. 

 

Thomas might do just that if they give him one. Maybe others will if VW Media Team can not be bothered doing that and filming it.

Drive 2 to 3 hours or so and 3 hours back and show real world rather than surmising.    It is not rocket science to know how far you can actually travel on roads if you just bother to do it.

Now there is a GTX. 

Lots of money.

 

 

 

Lots of ID Buzz vans on the road now, and the first of the passenger vehicles.

Maybe going to be a choice of 'much cheapness' ones in a year or 3.
