Volkswagen ID. Buzz 3-row is Buzz We Get in the US

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2023
- Here’s your first look at the 3-row Volkswagen ID. Buzz EV. While Europe has been motoring around in a shorter 2-row version, the North American market (that means you Canada, but not you Mexico) will get the longer version with an extra row of seating, more power. a larger battery pack and a choice of rear or all-wheel drive. When it hits the US market in 2024, it will be sold through VW dealerships, not a web portal like ID. 4. Lots of standard equipment means this is not going to be a budget ride. Tom Voelk travels to Los Angeles, CA to check it out.

Tom, Do you remember how young we all were when the first reincarnated VW Microbus concept made its debut? 🤣😂😉
Yeah and it's still going to be a bit of a wait.
@@DrivenCarReviews 😁
Is everyone distracted by the guy with blue shoe cover on his head like I am😂
Here in Europe a long version has just been announced with 282Hp and 85kw battery. Available in 5, 6 & 7 seats.
I want one ( we had a brand new 1971 westfalia VW bus in 1972 $4300 ) Colorado USA; until piston rod thru crankcase/abandoned bus in Michigan USA 1982
ID. BUZZ is a fresh take on the not-so-mini vans from Toyota, Honda, Stellantis, and Kia. This VW has success written all over it, but come on ...we've been waiting years for the ID. BUZZ. And we still have to wait another year??
Apparently you do.
Success will be determined largely by pricing and there's no way this thing sells for under $50K
@@chrisfreemesser5707...take the ID4, and add $8k-$12k conservatively, me thinks. 😎
Looks great. I can already see myself road-tripping with my daughter in it!
Awesome Tom! Thanks for always providing a great analysis!
Very cool and love the camping accessories. Still not sold on electric for long distance travel and that name!
This is what we saw in car magazines in the 80s when they forecasted vehicles from the "2000s"
It is a shame it is taking so long. Really hope I can talk my wife into this. Heck, maybe i'll just get it and grab a fun car to go with it. As always, thank you Tom!
That is such a stunning and useful vehicle. The camper model is a for sure sale point
Thanks for the nice review! I doubt the range will get me from Seattle to the TriCities over the mountains in the winter. I hope I’m wrong and can join the waiting list. I also wish all the seats were removable to get a flat load floor.
Like it a lot!!
But, no way am I buying it in the first year it arrives here in the US until it proves to be well built and safe.
Three Driven Reviews in quick succession (well the Buzz was a look-see, but still...).
New Tacoma - Love it; want it.
New Grand Highlander - Love it; want it.
New VW Electric Buzz Bus - Love it; want it.
The Tacoma would be great (6 foot bed please) for brush and storm debris trips to the dump and helping the kids and grand kids move furniture into new digs.
The Grand Highlander would be great (8 seats please) for extended family road trips or just going out for ice cream (to eat while sitting on the curb, not inside on my new Toyota's leather and suede seats).
The Buzz Bus would be great for attracting hordes of people at any kind of car show - or even in a super market parking lot. Consider it an automotive form of of the old classic "How To Win Friends and Influence People".
These are exciting automotive times; thank you for these great reviews.
Really looking forward to it, they definitely have a second sell as well!
really like the ID Buzz. Just surprised that the second row seats do not come our or have a center fold down cup holder arm rest. Will they have the two tone seat?
A lot can change in the next 14 months. I'll wait to see the actual production model.
Similar to Ford's Bronco, VW really nailed the retro vibe with this, oh so "cool"!
This will be a great, non frumpy option for those who need or want a minivan or a 3 row EV. I think I hear the CA VW dealers phones ringing non-stop! Another reviewer says that the practical seatback lunch tray won't make it to US for safety reasons. I love the nice bright dual lights in the liftgate . Every vehicle with a hatch or lifeback should have those.
It looks very cool....great video Tom
It's going to sell great in CA if the pricing is right. Though I did chuckle at how pleased he was that the third row seats were removable, just like the third row in my 2001 Yukon. Hope they're lighter.
It appeared the VW rep had no issues removing them.
@@DrivenCarReviews and he wasn’t a large person.
This is adorable. Perfect to take a couple of friends out to the winery. Can I get a discount on an A6 wagon if I buy one?
It’s here! 🎉🎉🎉
I can't wait I'm getting it in 2025 or 2026 when my son starts driving
Nice video, Tom! We'd also buy a California in a heartbeat...but we can't, so we're renting one in Scotland for 10 days this summer.
I'm jealous
Tom, it looks like the 2nd/3rd row windows are much slimmer inside than outside. That odd cutout sliding window seems to take up the full window height inside but not when viewed outside. True? Does it impeded visibility at all?
The glass has decent hight. I know what you're talking about but didn't have time to study what the block on the outside is. Literally had 30 minutes with the vehicle and was dodging a dozen other that like me were pressed for time.
Update- I spent a little more time with it this morning. Yes, the window is smaller on the inside than the outside. The glass is about 2 inches lower on the exterior than inside. It's not significant, visibility is still pretty good.
I need one!
Unfortunately, we don't get it here! Do you hear this Australia 🇦🇺 🤔
will this be a one and done PT Cruiser/HHR, or will it actually be something ppl seek out due to history of the brand and nostalgia of the type 2 van. curious if VW will release other combi versions (cargo, truck, etc.)? 🤔
This is something they are very aware of, and are being very careful to make sure that it doesn't happen that way. I think that's why they're metering different versions out. My guess is that the California camper will come out a year or so after the standard versions.
I am still missing the small overlap crash test! Why?
I've been waiting for the VW ID 10 Turbo, it will be a best seller.
Edit: the guy at 3:27 already pre ordered one.
Is it supposed to be 360p? Just checking.
It's low resolution until it's processed. Should be cooked now
Can you take out the second row of seats to get a flat floor all the way to the back door?
It did not look like it but I didn't have time to study the seat tracks.
Thanks!
So what's going to get here first, the ID. Buzz or the Tesla Truck?
Will the second row captain seat swivel
Doubtful.
Cool car but too damn expensive
Other than being by VW/Audi, I love it! A beautiful 1970 blue & white microbus was my very first vehicle at age 16. Unfortunately though, I've been burned by VW/Audi too many times since.
Question is will it live up to the Buzz?
it is definitely buzz worthy...
😂
Thanks!
Thanks Doogie!
Digital rear view mirror?
Don't know. Lots of things can change between now and launch.
Price and range are the two most important things. Everything else looks so good, I expect one or the other will be the dealbreaker. It needs to be +200 mi range and under $50k for me to be interested.
I'm guessing it'll have over 200 miles miles of range (a realistic 240 RWD, 225 AWD) and 60K MSRP to start, Before any ADM of course.
This IS what it looks like -
😎
It’s gonna be north of 65000 dollars.
I do hope more vehicle designs head this direction that is way more flexible and practical than silly SUVs. Easy to use this as a work van I'd think too in other interior build outs. While I won't buy VW because of diesel gate, I hope other manufacturers make similar.
The USA version is the same as the European version. We are getting the long wheelbase too, battery, and powertrains, and more. Every American channel I've seen is completely wrong.
True, Europe is getting the 3-row. The US does not get the 2-row. Canada gets a 2 row but it's the long version with a 3rd row delete (which is odd because you could just take the third row out yourself very easily). VW believes the 3 row version will be much less popular in Europe. Part of the confusion is that information didn't come out until most of us had the story written. VW positioned as "this is the American version" which is kind of true because there are other changes to the US model that Europe doesn't get.
Given all the expensive EV’s in the market, sadly I estimate this will be $100K and up.
Tom, can you ask VW why, why, it takes them YEARS to bring even much anticipated models like this to the world's second largest car market? I think I can guess why but it's infuriating and not nice to their customers - kept me from getting a Golf R for example. This would have been perfect for our young kids and family five years ago but now ...the kids will be teenagers by the time this thing arrives, ie no family car camping or big tasks as we start thinking about downsizing and MX-5s rather than family practicalities.
Production needs to ramp up and it’s closeting sold out already.
I can't help thinking that the smaller model wouldn't be a hit too, since it's till super useful and would be a lot less expensive. I'd LOVE to have one.
...waiting for the general public (not EV acolytes) to demand a Range Extender (or PHEV) version.
Save $$ and weight with a smaller battery, but add a simple ICE engine (tuned just for charging) to make journeys stress-free.
Having a decent battery makes climate-controlled camping awesome, but searching for public charging in the wilderness ruins vacations.
Pretty sure there's no room for an ICE.
@@DrivenCarReviews Buzz is otherwise so desirable, I'm hoping they simply raise the load floor enough behind the third row to stuff a 100hp boxer 4 under it.
35hp is plenty of REx for an i3, so 100hp Range Extender should keep battery SOC fine in this big box.
One can only dream ☺️
I'm sure it's at least $70k. A ridiculous amount. I'll wait until EV's because reasonable.
60-65 for sure.
Yeah, blame it on the wife 😂
Tom will buy one in a heart beat. 😅
Because it will carry a boat load of toilet papers. 😅
Seriously, for the past 20 years my wife's dream car has always been a VW Westfalia.
No range or price. Otherwise it it looks terrific!
They will sell every one, the Buzz will be very popular.
They will only sell every one if they only make 10k a year
Production worldwide is constrained at 100K. So yeah.
It’s going to be north of 65K so I’m not 100% convinced. Curious if people will lay the price to be cool.
The pricing makes it a rich people's plaything than a people's car. Shame, since I'm looking to replace my mk7 GTI
This will be the new "It" car for affluent suburban moms, for sure. And at 330 HP, it's got almost 300 more than the original. Too bad the US only gets the "embiggened" version of the stuff Europeans get.
I'm waiting for an electric minivan but this one looks to trade practicality and space for coolness. Like you can sit 6 people but have no place for luggage? Good looking toy though.
There's actually decent room behind row three, I just didn't get a good shot. I suspect you could get 8 carryon suitcases in there, eyeballing it. No specs were released
I'm sorry Tom but this is not the American version until they address the lack of cup holders especially for the second row. VW should know we need somewhere to put our Starbucks drinks orders. Those tray tables are flimsy and won't be in our American spec. Good! However I am glad they addressed the 2nd row windows if they would have made the front A windows pop out like yesteryear I would feel like a warm & fuzzy kid again. 😂 I want one only if they give us more cupholders.
Ok it's been promoted for over 10 years and i don't understand the purpose of the press releases over 10 years. It's still not released.
Did you tell them ID. Buzz is a stupid name? Please tell me you did.
and its $50k.....
I'll guess $55K-$65K depending on how many motors and options.
Canoo>ID Buzz
This seems pretty cool, but the lack of buttons is a major fail. Clearly they didn't learn that well.
Fantastic new left lane hogger.
Iconic...hell no. Horrible blue and looks cringe. Its a glorfied mini van.
Uh, pretty sure you mean it's a glorious minivan...but I won't harsh your mellow dude.
What's wrong with a minivan?
Absolutely love the colours. No car for grey mice.
