Volkswagen will decline its cute electric van ID. Buzz in a version capable of accommodating up to seven passengers. To do this, the ID. Buzz gains 25 cm in additional length with a wheelbase which now reaches 3.25 m (3 m on the standard version), while the front and rear overhangs remain the same. The total length increases to 4.96 m.
The sliding side doors have been enlarged for better accessibility, but it is above all the luggage compartment which goes from 1581 l in the standard version to 2469 l of maximum capacity. It will be possible to obtain a flat floor and to choose between five, six (two rows of two seats), or even seven places. In the five-seater version, the volume increases to 1340 l and the ID. Buzz still retains 306 l of trunk capacity with seven passengers.
The new ID. Buzz 7 seats receives an APP550 engine (identical to that of the last ID.7), which benefits from a power of 210 kW (286 hp) and a maximum torque of 550 Nm. The speed reaches 160 km/h against 145 km /h for the basic version. This engine is powered by a new 85 kWh battery and the charging power increases to 200 kWh. Autonomy is not yet announced, the standard version being satisfied with around 420 km.
The ID. Buzz also receives some changes to the equipment with the infotainment system introduced by the ID.7, including a new 15-inch touch screen, a head-up display or even remote controllable parking with a smartphone. The panoramic glass roof can also be darkened on request.
Finally, Volkswagen has confirmed the arrival in 2024 of a GTX version with a more powerful 250 kW (339 hp) engine, more suitable for the highway.
The price and launch date of this ID. Buzz 7 seats have yet to be announced.
