One word: utility. Dodge offers one of the most versatile minivans on the market (with a lot of close seconds from the Japanese). VW needs to not only equal that, but surpass it in some unique and distinctive way. Not just for the interior, but accelerating, braking, and handling. From what I can see, its not even close.
10:56 - I honestly don’t get why the VAG brands chose NOT to have the touch-sensitive controls at the bottom of the infotainment screen for the climate and volume backlit at night…
the 5 seater version will sell like hot cakes, the passenger row seats folded height wont be any issue as they or many companies will make a camping pod to match it, so you then have usable camping bed platform... with under neath slide out ply box housing your stuff (to include cooking equipment / solar, mains, UPS, leisure battery's).
I owned one of the new Beetles back in 1998. People were very excited over it back then. I have to say this new ID. Buzz is giving me similar vibes again. It's almost perfect except for a few things. Wish the rear seats folded flat so you could sleep back there while camping. VW needs to add lighting to the volume and climate controls. Also, hope that VW puts in a larger battery, say 100 kWh.
Such a disappointing design !!! ...the previous concept looked so good and promising. Why can't car companies use concept design for their production like Tesla ?
Hopefully they take the feedback that people want to remove those and will make that change before production! Or maybe it's intentional to make the Cargo version more appealing.
Thank you for also showing the cargo version. The side door looks very narrow. I wonder if it will be any wider in the long version. The rear camera placement is disappointing. It will get dirty instantly unlike if it were over the window.
A poll: How long will it take for VW to admit they completely messed up the user inteface and get rid of that capacitive bullshit and that horrible tablet with sliders? Just admit it VW, go for the Google OS, add a physical volume and climate buttons amd you will have a winning formula
@@autogefuehl Another good reason for (A++) rating review is showing the other colors and the basic utility cargo version ! Tank you for being so professional, keep doing great work..
You can tell that Volkswagen actually tried to innovate with the interior design, they tried to do something cool & practical. It is a step forward compared to the id3
In another review i saw a second floor - so it's totally flat with the folded rear seats. Someone took it out, but the car has it for sure. Just check other reviews.
The concept car version of the ID Buzz of around 4 or 5 years ago had an ingenious rail system embedded in the floor… allowing you to move / remove seats at will. Really sad that this didn’t make it to the production vehicle. Maybe it’ll make the cut in the longer wheel-base editions that are expected to debut next year.
Why there aren't any floor rails like T7 or T6/5 with individual removable seats? Without floor rails, it's just another normal family MPV rather than a proper passenger van
Yes, that's a missed opportunity. I had hoped to replace my 7-seat Touran with one of these Buzz models in a little while, but the long wheelbase version may well turn out to be too big.
When I see what VW did with this car, I ask myself how they managed to loose all space in the front for the ID4 and ID5. How can they do that and just let the front of the ID4 full of cables??
You need to open your eyes wider then. It's the exact same design as the ID4 and ID5, it's just that the front glass is put extremely far forward, so all the cables that are in the hood of id4 are under the two kilometer long dash of ID.Buzz.
@@JAM_2024many places have fine infrastructure, most highways have stations regularly and any RV park is perfect for overnight. Beaches will do well to add level 2 and some already do. Solar panels over parking areas could do well to help provide energy and keep the cars cooler too.
I just sold my T6 kombi and loved the versatility as a day van but I used to store the single seat in the garage most of the time fto allow for easier access to the rear and to load surfboards and longer items inside easier. Not having removable seats in the Buzz seems a bit of an own goal, unless it's a weight-saving thing due to being electric?
On T7 you have everything that's missing on id buzz.. what's the reason..i think that almost every manufacturers does discrimination between ice and ev's 🥺 keep up with good work 🍻
The rear bench is disappointing it should have 3 proper seats for the width. Ideally a 2/2/3 seat arrangement with rotating chairs like a caravelle would be better - it’s achievable in a caravelle short wheel base, why not in this instead of a long wheel base?
The EQV with 170kW battery and 800V charging tech for around 60k would be the perfect MPV. Sadly, current gen electric powertrain is just a bad choice for MPV.
I think this vehicle will sell very well. There hasn't been a "cool" van for sale in the US for a long, long time and this will appeal to those who want the hip styling, functionality and electric car performance you get with this VW. I'm seeing these being sold out for the 1st couple of years of production.
Should be able to get this in Australia by about 2030, given that there is not even one VW EV here right now. LOL, it will probably be on it's third refresh by then.
I prefer the look of the cargo variant. If it was quiet in the back on the road - I'd get one of those and convert it i.e cut a hatch in the driver partition and install more flexible rear seats
I was told that the head of VW R&D was “let go” recently, mainly due to the horrendous infotainment decisions of the latest crop of VAG cars. Audi have nailed the infotainment but even the Q4 E tron has horrible capacitive buttons on the steering wheel still. It’s enough to not recommend the car entirely. VW were the master of perfect ergonomics. They know how to do it.
The Buzz concept showed an amazing rail system. The T7 has an amazing rail system. The Buzz is made in the same factory as the T7. The Buzz has ... less useful seats than my 2009 Caddy Maxi. Any hope the long wheelbase version fixes this? I was really hoping for 7 seats.
the inability to remove seats in the back seems like a big oversight - surely safety related, but it compromises the useability a lot. drove a rented golf this week with the touch controls - couldn't see anything on the motorway at night to change temp or volume. - who is designing this risky interface...really not the peoples car.. Hope the buzz has more substance than the id3 and 4 and VW eventually reverse some poor decision making.
Love the iD Buzz i love it and like that Yellow color because it's so cool 😜😎👍 yeah wish i could have One, congrats VW for creating this amazing new iD Buzz 😍
I do like the interior colours. The more the merrier! I would probably get yellow with white exterior and the light interior with yellow and maybe some brown or something if possible. Pity the seats do not fold flat but maybe with the third row added it would be possible to make a flat bed for camping
I love the presentation and the car, those colour combinations are great and this is a car to consider buying. I am not convinced about the front end collision protection. There doesn't seem to much in the front to protect the passengers from impact.
The solution is not breed animals at all and not use them for food or for leather. The real waste happens when you have to grow 10x more crops just to feed farm animals. It's a waste of land, water, and food, and it creates a lot of habitat destruction and greenhouse gases. There's no point driving green electric cars if we just eat away our future instead. Plant-based diets is what EAT-Lancet and United Nations are recommending to keep the human race alive beyond 2050.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: th-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/w-d-xo.html Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: th-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/w-d-xo.html Not using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
Would love some more details on the V2L abilities? From what we saw you need a huge wallbox to use it, will there be a smaller adapter like the Kia EV6? Any idea what the maximum power output would be, something like 3kW through a small adapter would be great
My dad had the T1 when it came to Western N.A. , then he bought a 1959, a window van which he got camperized by a camper shop - then he got a 72(which I totaled and he got a 1974, then a 1979. The van was good for off-road use to go fishing or hunting because it had the ground clearance...with the stock 15" tires. Hopefully you DID NOT LOWER IT because they are useless as highway vehicles. Underpowered. My dad drove manual transmission 4 speed in all of them. It also was his WORK TRUCK, his weekend camper, It could take 2 motorcycles INSIDE IT. I am not sold on the CHEAP BLING OF ELECTRONICS ON IT. I watched how it is put together on another video, (basically glued together.) This is better than spot welding? A couple of HEAD ON CRASHES SHOULD TELL YOU. [I WAS DOING 60mph AND THEY WERE DOING 80mph IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. I LIVED AND SO DID THEY. NO SEAT BELT. But the spare tire bolted to the front helped a lot in that collision and was 100 yards off to the side of the road.
Thank you Thomas, for the great review! I would very much like one of those with a red and white exterior and orange interior... waiting for the pricing information to see if I can afford it ;)
I’ve got a Volkswagen electric transporter which all the professional reviews on TH-cam by car journalist said was fantastic, the reality is the Volkswagen electric transporter is by far the worst van in the world. There is over a 50% performance difference from +10° and to below 10°, absolutely shocking performance from the battery. If you’re using a super charge it will cost you £16.50 to get less than 50 miles electric charge out of these Volkswagen electric vehicles absolutely shocking performance and then Volkswagen will lie to you. When you try to raise it as an issue Volkswagen will tell you that unless there is a technical fault then everything is as it should be. Watch out for the watchdog report on Volkswagen.
Give us some options other than ELECTRIC. Electric vehicles are VERY TOXIC, not green at all, and the media loves to hide that fact. Batteries are very toxic, and not recyclable.
Car manufacturers in 2022 : We are removing all buttons from the car interior. Also car manufacturers in 2022 : We need less chips because we only have a screen now instead of 100 buttons but now are removing basic illuminating functions. Also car manufacturers in 2025 : Here is a torch in case you need to activate some functions while driving at night....
VW has had some very similar experiences with different VW models in the past, which VW wanted to reanimate, for example the Beetle, which was optical very near to the legendary VW Käfer.. All these attempts have failed miserably!
It is a great mini bus for families. It is good, except interior design. The interior looks really cheap and looks very plastic. I did not like the id3-4 for that. However, skoda owned by volkswagen and interior is great.
VW needs to speed up its timeline of getting their EV long campers into full distribution throughout the U.S. Any delays will result in loss of customer base as other companies are going to launch into the camper van EV space sooner. Fire the executives responsible for the delays and replace them with execs focused on ramping up distribution within the year instead of 3 years which is simply preposterous.
I think VW have now confirmed that the 6 seater (2/2/2) version will use the same short wheelbase. The longer wheelbase will house the 7 seat (2/3/2) version.
I would like a reviewer to cover the current sensors in the id.buzz what it adds to driving assist and parking (check out other manufacturers, top down parking view). I glimpsed sensors in the roof line, are they sensors? Or were they adapters for roof Euro Rails? All these videos are rehashed VW news room points if interest.
I don’t get why the id-family of cars have the infotainment system and instrument cluster designed like a cheap child toy. The integration looks so lazy and dumb.
Another great vid, Thomas. I absolutely love ID. Buzz, it looks amazing- both the cargo and the passenger versions. Love the retro colour schemes too which hark back to the original Transporter. This is going to be such a successful vehicle!!
The vw cargo van would be perfect for the single or couple, its more versatile for camping, or whatever and I like the color, blue/white, only no specks were given, so I gather they’re the same as id, the question is what’s the approx charging times, and is this model available in the US…
interior is identical to a transporter or a regular buss .. this is no way this to replace the Sharan - the only real family car this company made so far. I only wish if we in Europe get a chance to get Japanese vans. Europe sucks in all things
Would rather have gasoline engine in the rear, and also, would rather have driver's seat OVER the front wheels, so the driving sensation is like the classic bus had.

Not going to lie. This will sell well I think.
Thank you Thomas for the look at its design!
appreciated !
ngl, I think you're right.
I agree, I think it will become the Airport transfer and taxi of choice for many companies, especially if they want something a little more 'premium'.
You're joking? Lol. It's an unbelievably ugly vehicle.

I really enjoy watching your videos. The slight humor added to them always makes me smile.
you re welcome =)
All in all pretty disappointing. The seats don’t appear to come out at the back. This is far cry from the concept in looks and function

I really hope the rear seats can be easily removed. Otherwise, carrying bicycles will be an absolute PITA.
The rear seats (or middle row in the future long wheel base version) are NOT removable, according to other first looks. It's a real bummer.
Hopefully they take the feedback that people want to remove those and will make that change before production! Or maybe it's intentional to make the Cargo version more appealing.
Anything is removable if you try hard enough
you can buy an external bike carrier which would be easier to use

And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: th-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/w-d-xo.html
Not using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
I LOVE IT! Fantastisch! Not sure which one I'd go for. I like both, but the opportunity to build a camper would be something!
Absolutly beautifull VW ID buzz!
Would love some more details on the V2L abilities? From what we saw you need a huge wallbox to use it, will there be a smaller adapter like the Kia EV6? Any idea what the maximum power output would be, something like 3kW through a small adapter would be great
Looking forward for an all electric VW camper!
Love it, but 350-400 kn range doesn’t seem enough for a family van. Trips will be endless
My dad had the T1 when it came to Western N.A. , then he bought a 1959, a window van which he got camperized by a camper shop - then he got a 72(which I totaled and he got a 1974, then a 1979. The van was good for off-road use to go fishing or hunting because it had the ground clearance...with the stock 15" tires. Hopefully you DID NOT LOWER IT because they are useless as highway vehicles. Underpowered. My dad drove manual transmission 4 speed in all of them. It also was his WORK TRUCK, his weekend camper, It could take 2 motorcycles INSIDE IT. I am not sold on the CHEAP BLING OF ELECTRONICS ON IT. I watched how it is put together on another video, (basically glued together.) This is better than spot welding? A couple of HEAD ON CRASHES SHOULD TELL YOU. [I WAS DOING 60mph AND THEY WERE DOING 80mph IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. I LIVED AND SO DID THEY. NO SEAT BELT.
But the spare tire bolted to the front helped a lot in that collision and was 100 yards off to the side of the road.
...Comeback .... has Nothing to Comeback to.... It's a VW EV Van ...simple!
Overpriced ....Nothing New ....Just a Debt-Maker...
i want shorter single door🙂
Thank you Thomas, for the great review!
I would very much like one of those with a red and white exterior and orange interior... waiting for the pricing information to see if I can afford it ;)
interesting vehicle and good presentation. Which are all possible colors for the buzz?
Wish they'd sell the california version sooner
Car Heaven 🤣🤣🤣
I can't wait for things like this; An EV that isn't trying to be a performance car.
I’ve got a Volkswagen electric transporter which all the professional reviews on TH-cam by car journalist said was fantastic, the reality is the Volkswagen electric transporter is by far the worst van in the world. There is over a 50% performance difference from +10° and to below 10°, absolutely shocking performance from the battery. If you’re using a super charge it will cost you £16.50 to get less than 50 miles electric charge out of these Volkswagen electric vehicles absolutely shocking performance and then Volkswagen will lie to you. When you try to raise it as an issue Volkswagen will tell you that unless there is a technical fault then everything is as it should be. Watch out for the watchdog report on Volkswagen.
High five for liking trance music Thomas, i'm a trance head as well ;)
#Hondastpwagon2022 better Bus :-D
I want it!
The concerns about it not looking like the concept and just being a boring van where incorrect.
They did a great job fooling everyone with that Transporter camouflage 😂
Give us some options other than ELECTRIC. Electric vehicles are VERY TOXIC, not green at all, and the media loves to hide that fact. Batteries are very toxic, and not recyclable.
That why Volkswagen Have best Minibuses and Vans in the world. Also More Advance than the Mercedes-Benz.... nice Autogefühl!
Car manufacturers in 2022 : We are removing all buttons from the car interior.
Also car manufacturers in 2022 : We need less chips because we only have a screen now instead of 100 buttons but now are removing basic illuminating functions.
Also car manufacturers in 2025 : Here is a torch in case you need to activate some functions while driving at night....
Please Thomas confirm if there will be short version with 7 seats? Please, say yes:)
VW has had some very similar experiences with different VW models in the past, which VW wanted to reanimate, for example the Beetle, which was optical very near to the legendary VW Käfer.. All these attempts have failed miserably!
It is a great mini bus for families. It is good, except interior design. The interior looks really cheap and looks very plastic. I did not like the id3-4 for that. However, skoda owned by volkswagen and interior is great.
VW needs to speed up its timeline of getting their EV long campers into full distribution throughout the U.S. Any delays will result in loss of customer base as other companies are going to launch into the camper van EV space sooner. Fire the executives responsible for the delays and replace them with execs focused on ramping up distribution within the year instead of 3 years which is simply preposterous.
I think VW have now confirmed that the 6 seater (2/2/2) version will use the same short wheelbase. The longer wheelbase will house the 7 seat (2/3/2) version.
Great moment for the channel. Early voice amongst reviewers, consistently rejecting use of animal skin for interiors. Bravo !
Thanks Jeremy for supporting us all these years. Not forgotten.
@@autogefuehl Very kind - and thank you for this unique channel and the enjoyment you bring to so many !
This car looks cool!
Thomas: Let's Play musical chairs!
=)
I would like a reviewer to cover the current sensors in the id.buzz what it adds to driving assist and parking (check out other manufacturers, top down parking view). I glimpsed sensors in the roof line, are they sensors? Or were they adapters for roof Euro Rails? All these videos are rehashed VW news room points if interest.
I don’t get why the id-family of cars have the infotainment system and instrument cluster designed like a cheap child toy. The integration looks so lazy and dumb.
Not ocean plastic. It’s ocean bound plastic
Good catch👍. OBP
Another great vid, Thomas. I absolutely love ID. Buzz, it looks amazing- both the cargo and the passenger versions. Love the retro colour schemes too which hark back to the original Transporter. This is going to be such a successful vehicle!!
Thanks Andrew!
Another great review, thanks Thomas 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 😃
The vw cargo van would be perfect for the single or couple, its more versatile for camping, or whatever and I like the color, blue/white, only no specks were given, so I gather they’re the same as id, the question is what’s the approx charging times, and is this model available in the US…
I now have a weird obsession over that VW ID Buzz Cargo Van, I want that and have that converted into a a mini RV for some Electric #VanLife :D
no 2-2-3 version??
from a bus??
such a disappointment when they have the Multivan...
Just add some purple stripes on that van and you can call it the ID Buzz Lightyear.
what about german start up called "Electric Brand" With a real T1 retro design hommage?? It will be interesting
Looks cool but that color is atrocious
New ugly bus .The T1 looks 1000 times better . If you reproduce exactly that old T1 it will sell like sweet cake.
interior is identical to a transporter or a regular buss .. this is no way this to replace the Sharan - the only real family car this company made so far.
I only wish if we in Europe get a chance to get Japanese vans. Europe sucks in all things
Would rather have gasoline engine in the rear, and also, would rather have driver's seat OVER the front wheels, so the driving sensation is like the classic bus had.
