Recently, Volkswagen released official images of the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz overseas. The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is built on the MEB pure electric platform, and its retro appearance pays tribute to the classic Volkswagen T1 van. The changes to the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz are not significant; it is merely a process of optimization and improvement, and the new model will be launched this summer.
In terms of exterior, the new car's appearance remains consistent with the current model, continuing the van shape with a short front end and a steeply raked windshield, a closed front face paired with a through-type LED light strip, a central brand LOGO that can be illuminated, irregular headlights using matrix LED light sources inside, a mesh-shaped air intake below, and a two-tone body that looks more stylish.
In terms of interior, the steering wheel of the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz uses physical buttons, the current model's touch-sensitive buttons have been canceled, and the latest Innovision infotainment system has been introduced, with simpler menu logic and a newly added app store covering audio and video streaming, parking and charging, and games. The new Volkswagen ID. Buzz adds a one-pedal driving mode, adds V2L external discharge function, can serve as a mobile power source outdoors, and offers an optional connected travel assist system (with traffic light recognition function).
In terms of power, the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz adds the ID. Buzz Pro 4Motion version, which is equipped with dual-motor four-wheel drive, with a combined system power of 250 kilowatts. The new car's short-wheelbase model is equipped with a 79 kWh battery pack, while the long-wheelbase model is upgraded to an 86 kWh battery pack. The towing mass of the new car's standard model can reach 1,800 kilograms, while the towing mass of the long-wheelbase model is lowered to 1,600 kilograms.
Dada review: The ID. Buzz made its global debut in March 2022 and went into production at Volkswagen's Hannover plant in Germany in June 2022. The ID. Buzz directly pays tribute to the Volkswagen Type 2 (T1), perfectly recreating the charm of the T1, with extremely high interior space utilization and flexible and versatile seats that can form a completely flat space when folded down, offering strong camping and cargo-carrying capability. The pure electric ID. Buzz has better driving quality; with the battery laid flat under the chassis, the vehicle has a low center of gravity and good stability. The main changes of the 2026 ID. Buzz are optimized interaction functions and power. The original touch buttons on the steering wheel have been changed to more practical physical buttons, solving the problem of easy accidental touches, and the upgraded infotainment system has more applications. Volkswagen intends to introduce the ID. Buzz to the Chinese market through imports, with an expected price range of 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. It is highly likely to be domestically produced in the future, and the price after domestic production may start with a 3. Due to the model's uniqueness, the ID. Buzz has almost no rivals in China, but the market will not be very large either.
