I recently reviewed the Volkswagen ID Buzz, the quirkiest van around — and I loved it! Today I’m going to show you all the quirks and features of the ID Buzz — and I’ll also get behind the wheel and DRIVE the ID Buzz to review the driving experience of this van.
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is a battery electric minivan produced by German manufacturer Volkswagen. Based on the dedicated battery electric MEB platform, it is the first production electric minivan from Volkswagen and part of the Volkswagen ID. series.The design of the ID. Buzz is inspired by the Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Microbus.
At 2,988 mm, the wheelbase of the ID. Buzz is similar to that of the current Volkswagen Transporter T6 it is 81 mm wider than the T6 and features a turning circle of 11.1 m,which is approximately the same as a Golf.
