The upcoming Volkswagen ID. Buzz has not been launched but, however carwow managed to… launch it from 0 to 60 mph (96.5 km/h) throughout the preliminary take a look at drive.
The camouflaged pre-production model (the 5-seat passenger one) with a 150 kW rear-wheel drive unit accelerated 0-60 mph in 9.78 seconds, in response to the video.
It is fairly good for a van of this measurement, particularly since probably there might be extra succesful variations (dual-motor, all-wheel-drive).
Nonetheless, the ID. Buzz might be noticeably slower than the smaller Volkswagen ID.4 with the identical/related rear-wheel drive unit.
Within the US, the 2022 ID.4 has an official 0-60 mph time beneath 8 seconds:
- ID.4 Professional 19″ (RWD, 150 kW): 7.7 seconds
- ID.4 Professional S 19″ (RWD, 150 kW): 7.8 seconds
- ID.4 AWD Professional 19″ (AWD, 220 kW): 5.7 seconds
- ID.4 AWD Professional S 19″ (AWD, 220 kW): 5.8 seconds
When it comes to vary, there is no such thing as a official estimate out there but. Nevertheless it’s believed that the Volkswagen ID. Buzz with an 82 kWh battery (77 kWh usable capability) can have a noticeably decrease vary than the corresponding ID.4 model, primarily as a result of aerodynamics.
In line with carwow, the 17-mile mixed-cycle take a look at drive resulted in power consumption of 23.1 kWh/100 km (62 miles). Assuming a usable power capability of 77 kWh, the estimated vary can be then 207 miles (333 km).
The video contains (8:22) an attention-grabbing occasion when the automated emergency braking interrupted reversing to keep away from collision with a automobile that was passing by. That is an unplanned (take a look at), however a really constructive end result.
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz and Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo van might be launched in Europe in September. Launch within the US is scheduled for 2023, however will probably be an extended wheelbase model than the one at present demonstrated in Europe.
