The long awaited ID Buzz is finally here, after years of rumours and leaks. Safe to say, we’re big fans. Its similarities on the outside to the iconic VW camper gives it an eye-catching retro look, with the inside offering the impressive tech that the VW electric lineup has become known for. There aren’t many EVs like the ID Buzz, and that’s why we’re so excited to finally see it launched.

Interior

The inside of the ID Buzz doesn’t disappoint. Top VW tech like ambient lighting, a 10” navigation display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a rear view camera all as standard gives you everything you need for cruising in comfort. There’s plenty of room, too - the boot has a huge 1,100 litres of space, making it one of the largest in an EV, and space for passengers is generous. Sustainable materials throughout remind you that the environment is central to the ID Buzz.

We take real world range from EV database, which combines the predicted range of an EV in cold weather with the predicted range of an EV driving in warm weather.

For cold weather, this assumes it’s -10 degrees celsius with heating on. For warmer weather, it’s based on 23 degrees celsius and there’s no A/C on.

Predicting exact range is tricky, and range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather conditions and route conditions.

Many things can impact the range you get in your EV, there are outside factors and ones you can control or mitigate. Temperature (both of the car and outside environment), your driving style, weather, the surfaces you drive on and the spec of your car can all make a difference to your actual range.
