The longer TFL is on TH-cam, the more the camaraderie between all of you comes out. I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to compare you guys to the top gear crew. Information is great, but the interaction between the hosts and their personalities is really what makes the show. Great job guys! 👍
I don't have kids of my own, only grown step kids, and would have no reason to need a mini-van but I would still drive the heck out of this! Its so good looking, retro/modern style, and what seems like a really nice and useful interior. Thanks guys for sharing this!
Am I the only one who thinks that this is the perfect size? We need the short wheelbase! It's not like there's a shortage of huge vehicles available... It looks awesome in this size, and not everyone needs a 7-seat vehicle. Volkswagen Canada and Volkswagen of America need to listen. :)
I think the added wheelbase may be needed to offer the max range model they intend to sell here. I for one am grateful that they're even bringing it to the U.S. at all, as VW has been very skittish about it from the beginning. Given the mass unpredictability of the U.S. car buyer, I don't blame them.
This is the only minivan I would accept in my house. Too cool and would likely be a vehicle that really could shift perception of electric vehicles given it's style and functionality compared to current EVs.
This is one of the few VWs that’s ever caught my eye. I like 98% of its overall design. And I love how useful it seems! Idk if I’m one of the few that feels we need more 2 row SUVs with massive rear compartments and less 3rd rows for amputees.
I really like that offering... I would not be interested in the 3 row offering, unless the 3rd row seats come out. With a long range update, and, reasonable price, that would be a nice addition. I like it better for every day use over most suv's.
Agree, so they'll take any real utility out of the vehicle, add a few inches in length and shove in a barely useable, barely used 3rd row that will eat up cargo capacity. So tired of this trend. A two row version of the SUV/Van like this or the Highlander or Palisade would be at the top of my my list to replace my 05 Outback wagon.
I hope VW is prepared to crank these out of their factories. Demand is going to be sky high. Like many others have said, it’s actually a minivan I want. I’m not saying that about any other brand.
Take my money!!! I am not a huge Volkswagen fan, but this looks cool! Good job guys, cant wait to see the American version. Hope you guys get one for the channel. Maybe another EV run?
There will be a longer wheel based version available in the USA with 6 or 7 seats. It will also have a bigger battery option. It is initially a rear wheel drive unit, and will have a dual motor 4 wheel drive option too. The towing limit is 1,000kg. The second level rear floor is an option, and it is removable, without tools.
I absolutely love the design (being a child of the early 70's). It's the epitome of "retro cool". I just hope that whenever it makes it here all the bugs have been worked out. Something that VW is not known for........
I really like the flip out trailer hitch. Unfortunately we have so many lawyers in the US that it would probably never come here. I had a Passat 4Motion wagen which was built in Germany, but sold in the US and Europe and the European version could tow 4,000 pounds, where the American one was limited to 500 pounds. It was the identical car off the same assembly line, but the US version was full of lawyers.
That would be fun, but parts bin sharing is inevitable to controlling price. Personally, I like the I.D family lights on the front. It helps to bring the modern from the past design element into play.
It's rear wheel drive, just like the others ID cars, Andre says it's front wheel. In USA you will probably have a 100kWh battery in the long wheelbase. IQ light is for the models with led matrix. Ergo thing in the seats it's because they have massage in both front seats
For aesthetics I would have placed the charginging port underneath the VW badge. The badge could be hinged to open, this would eliminate the need to have the UGLY charging port door on the rear passenger side of the vehicle. Otherwise nice vehicle.
Nice video, just 1 correction. The VW MEB platform is actually Rear Wheel Drive. So this ID Buzz is 201hp RWD, and the AWD models have a 2nd motor up front
Sorry for you guys over there but I orderet the first one first.🙂 You have to be patient. It is made in Hanover and is rear weel driven.They all are. They toows 1000 kg only. Good luck, see you one day.
I'm lucky enough to be taking one for a test drive this Saturday as I'm in the UK but I have already been told by the dealership 9 to 12 months from ordering. And it is rated to tow 1000kg in the UK. Really enjoy the stuff you do and stop moaning you only have 3 EV pickups for sale in the States we have NONE yet😁
Do pickups even exist in the UK? Y'all are weird over there, what with driving on the wrong side and calling trucks lorries. Y'all might call pickups porridges...or porry for short. Wouldn't surprise me.
I have that very same hide-away hitch on my US spec 2022 Volvo XC60 T8. It is so cool and quite surprised my local U-Haul dealer when I needed to rent a utility trailer. It is an expensive option but works great. It never drags going over a curb cut. The only difference it does not have a fixed ball. I guess in Europe they pretty much standardize ball size. Mine has a standard 1" receiver so I can add any ball size or bicycle rack if I like.
Is probably necessary because the normal A-pillar already restricts the view in its current strength. With my Id 3, I am always startled when a vehicle suddenly appears from the blind spot of the A-pillar
I love how VW puts the binnacle on the steering column. That's a much better solution for visibility that swapping the steering wheel for a friggin' yoke.
As a father of four kids who drives an expedition. I love the idea of this van, but it would happen to have the roominess that I currently have! Looking forward to seeing one our version.
Would really love to own one of these. VW has been teasing it for years, but it's been just vaporware. Hopefully, it'll make it to the U.S. sooner than later, and not be overpriced to the point only the 1% can afford the thing.
Would definitely consider this Euro 2 row version with the shelving system in the back! But since 'Merica has to have a barely useable/barely used 3rd row stuffed into everything, this great looking mini-van is off my list. My smaller family doesn't need a 3rd row, we do need more cargo capacity.
The european CCS supports 3 phase which is really useful as it can triple the type 2 charging rate and most destination chargers are 11/22 kW AC. (though I think it is limited to 11kW in VW cars).
We had a 1992 Lumina APV van and it has similar front windows. Couldn't reach the bottom of window shield and had similar windows in front of A pillars.
This thing looks great. Surprised this configuration didn't have a third row standard. Unsure that I would want a five seater van, even though I mentioned it looks great. If they give me a third row with a decent moonroof option and are able to come in under $55k (I know I'm asking a lot), this will be in my driveway next to the model Y. Extra bonus if it comes in a lime green or even orange (orrery sure I've seen orange). As far as the cup holders, part of me agrees, but if this thing sells well you'll have a billion and a half third party options. I think this will prove to be very popular. All the pluses of a van but you don't feel like a loser van driver lol.
This looks like a step in the right direction for VW. I wish them much success with this offering, I think it will sell both as a soccer mom vehicle and a mid-size cargo van.
Looking forward to the North American version. Going to be buying a minivan-ish vehicle in the next 2-3 years... Right now the Sienna is my pick. But currently have a Tiguan in our driveway and would love to stick with Volkswagen.
I really love the Euro Buzz for America from seeing online. I do believe they could sell the Euro version in America and just drop the regular VERY uninspiring ID4. If priced decently this would sell well with its cool looks and large internal usable volume. They do need to sell this perfect sized model in America. Please do a full driving and living with review on it when you can.
So I’ve driven an old bus given to us as new parents. Lots of fun. Bought used Vanagon, drove it everyday for work and schools/kids games. Bought the last model Eurovan with Westfalia in 2001, that was brand new, we still have it. It was my commuter car + Los of memories in it with kids, camping, long drives, games, etc… My husband bought another used Vanagon, he missed the first one. Now I have the ID4, coming on 2 years now and my husband told me to trade it in for this. Our kids are all grown up, youngest is 21. No grandkids but we’ll see what happens next year😂 I still commute to work and I’d be very happy with the European version of this, I don’t need the 3 row version. And yes, we still have the Eurovan and a Vanagon, my husband and I each have our Audi’s, me plus the ID4😅
In the 1950s and 60s, the VW bus introduced the idea of a vehicle that was shorter than many cars, yet still able to hold 7 or even 8 passengers. My only hope is that Volkswagen gets a grasp over the buggy infotainment interface, and yet is able to sell it for an affordable price.
My Partner and I are watching this very closely. This will make a great trip and convention vehicle. We would be easily served with the short wheelbase model, but that may be a limiting factor for what they intend to offer the U.S. I theorize the added wheelbase may be needed to have space to house the battery they will be needing to spec the 350ish mile range that was being dangled when they initially announced production and sale in the US was going to happen.
I think the US is only getting the long wheelbase and larger battery even though the shorter wheelbase would be cool. I had a 1985 Toyota Van where the 2nd and 3rd row seats folded flat to turn the entire back into a large bed. Otherwise they could be removed and stored somewhere
I have zero interest in an electric minivan. … but if they finally brought the Volkswagen pop up camper van back to America in an electric version, now that I’d be interested in.
His height and the van size keep changing with the annoying use of a camera that distorts the image and makes it very difficult to get a realistic feeling of the vans size and dimensions.🤔
I owned a 64 and a 71 bug, a 74 Sirocco and a 78 Rabbit diesel. The reliability was great on them all although the latter two were serious rust buckets. I paid $1200 for the Sirocco and that was the most expensive one.
There will be a 1 feet longer version with optional AWD in 2024. Some say that this version will get the largest possible battery of 111kWh of the MEB platform. But this is not official.
@@wolfman9999999 I checked on the Id4 a while ago . and it varies by location.. and that made me nervous. I think most people don't realize how important this is in elec cars.
Would be cool that after they have been on the Market for a while, if VW made a limited edition Samba bus with the extra windows up top, as a nod to the original.
2 old men love an EV van and call it cool. 🤣 Practical, yes. Cool? Definitions vary. But you cannot compare this to say a Buhanka and tell me it is cool. Or a Mercedes Sprinter. And while the VW CamperVan was ground breaking in the day, I think the modern take on it has passed it up by leaps and bounds. Nonetheless, this would work real well near beaches. Because we all know, that is where they were most popular.
Great looking vehicle. The rear windows (at least the second row) should open and have their own separate switches on the driver door as well as in back. The center console being removable is neat, but should by default easily snap back into place by just setting it down near where it was. The infotainment system and capacitive "buttons" on the steering wheel (and hopefully elsewhere) will be changed but how in the world did VW not do any usability testing which would have clearly shown that those features are bad before they released them on the ID.4?
I think it does snap right back in. I've seen the European channels remove and reinstall it easily. I think Andre was rushing a bit and missing the latch.
Cool that VW is finally bringing back the bus after years of teasing. They've just got to scrap and redo all the controls and get the rear windows to go down and it'll be ready for customers.
Reminds me of the '73 bay window Type 2 my father bought - that had fixed rear windows as well and it was never an issue for us. What I would have given back then for 200 hp over the air cooled 1600 with 50-odd.

Sorry maybe I remembered incorrectly. I thought we would get the shorter one later but I cant find anything now.
This is the only minivan I would accept in my house. Too cool and would likely be a vehicle that really could shift perception of electric vehicles given it's style and functionality compared to current EVs.
Have you seen the Canoo vans?
It should seat 6 with three in front.
You park your minivans in your house?
headlights shoulda been round
You would really pay 75k for a van with drum brakes?
I never seen Andre so excited about reviewing a van! Hope yall can aquire one when there available love to see a gauntlet towing test!
He admitted to being a VW fanbody.
He had a golf once.. That's a fanboy? I had an '82 rotary rx-7 for year in '91, does that make me a Mazda fanboy?

Would love to get a VW BUZZ Cargo… Andrei loves it because it looks a bit like his Buhanka…
VW will need to move production stateside to deliver a cargo version in the U.S. Thank the chicken tax.
I can't wait for these to arrive in America... Im working on a gasoline conversion... Making them practical
Keep the third row as an option. Love it just the way it is. Great video folks.
We can't get a hitch like that in the US because someone would try to haul a 26' camper with it.

From what I read, the third row does come out. And it's actually that version I hope will come to Europe too, long wheel, big battery.
The european CCS supports 3 phase which is really useful as it can triple the type 2 charging rate and most destination chargers are 11/22 kW AC. (though I think it is limited to 11kW in VW cars).

Works perfectly well in my 08 Silverado and doesnt rust like discs !
@@WANDERER0070 ….08 not 23. And drums will absolutely rust. The only benefit is cost savings for the producer.

Cool bus, brings back memories
I believe you need a correction as this is a rear wheel drive vehicle.
Those "shelves" in the back are meant for sleeping bed inside the vehicle during camping.
With the windshield so far away and the center screen poking up from the console, cleaning the interior side of the windshield glass will be fun.
Building it in the US would also bypass the Chicken Tax so they can sell a cargo version.
TFL is definitely buying one of these!!!
Not sure why they wouldn't also bring the shorter 2 row here.
I'm American and I would love that size as a plug in hybrid. Not personally ready to go full EV. I live in an apartment . No charging nearby.
Buy a T7...but most likely not available in US as Plugin, too...like the brilliant Passat GTE is not available...no Passat available at all in US.
They need to make left and right hubcaps ,love the colour and style
I like the concept. You indicated that it was FWD but when I looked at Wikipedia it indicated RWD.
Anyone else think that the rear wiper looks a bit short? Really like this thing too.
For anyone that missed the past 50 episodes, Andre is 6'3" 😅
So just a bit above average for EU. Well, 6'1 is average for The Netherlands iirc. But yeah :)

Reminds me of the '73 bay window Type 2 my father bought - that had fixed rear windows as well and it was never an issue for us. What I would have given back then for 200 hp over the air cooled 1600 with 50-odd.
Why is the charging port not behind that front VW badge? Nose into a parking spot and it is reachable from left, or right.
I prefer the receiver over that pop out ball. I use the receiver for cargo carriers.
Way to go Andre! You broke it. 🙄
I am leasing one ID Buzz Style in full black colour. Looooooove it.
This is gonna be a big hit!
Is it too low to the ground? I’m sick and tired of running into curbs when parking my Toyota sienna.
Do any of these buzz models come with vents in the rear? For me with family it's a deal breaker if not
Looks great! I wish they made a hybrid version .. 😭
I don't know how it is in your country, but in Germany there is no longer a subsidy for hybrid vehicles.
I wonder if they'll have a Westie conversion for those who love the outdoors?
I wish they would have went more retro with the styling 😮💨
Yeah, but trying to conform to multiple government regulations makes that difficult.
@@spanieaj And have a good crash safety...not possible to shorten the nose like for the T1
