What do you think about a white steering wheel? I think it is a terrible idea. Because even if your hands are clean, they will sweat, and it might stain the steering wheel.

100% agree on the door closing. In the darker days before Autogefuehl I first fell in love with my 2001 bmw 750il for the door closing sound/feel and the buttery smooth v-12 . Keep up the door closing sound/feel please, it is one of the intro highlights....along with the leah acceleration meter!

[@yesloow]

Great review...I have been waiting for these vehicles to arrive in the USA for 6 years now and am excited about their arrival. BTW, totally with you on the door closing sound. It's part of why when I first saw your videos, I thought...OK this guy gets the user experience. We have a Chevy Bolt EV, and when you close the hatch, it sounds like I am slamming a plastic lid on a plastic trash can. I always worry if I'm going to break the mechanism some day. These things matter, and also a solid door sound tells me the materials are solid. I have some solid materials that will help protect me from a side collision. So please keep giving us the door closing sounds!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks for being with us!

[@AndersNyholm-c9f]

Staying with my Multivan T7, I really love the flexibility with rail-system for the seats.

[@amird5411]

A good door closing sound is VERY important!! It separates the difference between well-made vehicles from the low quality vehicles. It's the little things that are important and most drivers don't notice.

[@d.robertshaw]

Great review. Is that sunroof blackout or dimmed? I’d like to get that option but I’ll be sleeping in it when camping so worried too much light would come through.

[@chrispenn715]

Interesting and comprehensive review thanks. The only VW I would consider buying at the moment :-)

[@martinottosson6583]

I would say the whole video is a slip of German :)

[@Zereniti77]

Is the short wheelbase version still missing the openable rear windows and air vents? Those are probably the main reasons I'm thinking of the LWB over SWB...

[@martinferjancic]

i was lucky enough to be one of the first people to drive it on public road and i must say how impressed i was with the quality of drive. it really felt like driving on butter. it feels like driving small id.3, not a whole buss. smooth, but snappy, very obedient. it also looks cool af.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks for the feedback!

[@fredericoamigo]

This is by far the coolest car VW makes at the moment. Awesome! Glad to see some software updates and improvements to the interior quality. Can’t wait for physical buttons on the steering wheel to return!

[@amirk.2148]

Is the cargo version will have sliding door on both sides? Also, Will the cargo version will have flat floor and wall separate the cargo from the front seats?

[@astroplutonium]

Door sound check is probably the most important 1st impression quality test for cars. Great job again Thomas and i agree with you, Lea is a princess. No need for mirrors :)

[@autogefuehl]

way to go :)

[@Flickerbrain]

Very strange VW didn't make the second seat row removable. We're also a family of 5 but with our big dog. Currently in our T5 we have the bench seat near the back so we have lots of space for our dog to sit in the middle in his basket and we can keep an eye on him. But this is also useful for bikes, shopping, kinderwagen, bringing your grünschnitt to the local tip etc etc. Not being able to do that is rubbish.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Yep. I'll be sticking with a Pacifica with Stow "n Go seating. They all fold flat into the floor, perfect for cargo/furniture hauling or short camping trips. VW screwed up here. It's a damn minivan, people use them for utility.

[@iulian2548]

Airbag in the seats perhaps prevents that.

[@vasm1807]

I would LOVE to own that thing!!! I would totally go full retro with that yellow as well

[@Mariussteinmo]

Very agreeable and thorough review 👌

[@autogefuehl]

[@Harrythehun]

Will there be Camping Mode in the Buzz? And thanks for a great review and video!!

[@Republic3D]

The door closing feeling is very important. It's one of the things that separate European brands from the rest. It needs to feel heavy, tactile and precise, and the sound can not have any metal hollow ring to it. It needs to sound heavy and compact, like if it's stuffed with sound proofing material, which it probably is.

[@BeachPleased]

Van style Center Console are OP and instead of huge center arm rest... this Buzz Arm rest makes more sense

[@Guinnessisgoodforyou]

Mein gott you earned your wages reviewing this one Thomas, especially moving the rear seats😂 nice to hear you are in Hanover the home of the Scorpions🤘🤘🤘

[@user-xi6qs8dz1x]

I have been in that car before it was so cool i also feel the weight and could seat much higher than other suv ❤

[@bobloblaw3191]

I just can't help but be disappointed by how this van ended up

[@kahafb]

What kind of things disappoint you about it?

[@bobloblaw3191]

@kahafb The inside of the concept looked amazing. Seats could be turned around to face eachother. There was a centre rail with what looked like a centre table. Seemed huge inside and the use of space was quirky. Now it just looks like any SUV inside. The same crossover/SUV issues too where the larger car isn't proportional to the increase of usable space. The seats don't lay flat enough to be a minivan/people carrier replacement. Not to mention that the concept had a steering wheel that retracts into the dashboard when not in use. Typical concept vs reality, unfortunately. Amazing ideas are used to get people hyped then completely ignored for the actual product. Underwhelming

[@Vvicius]

Can you walk from the front seat to the middle seat in between the seats or it is too narrow for regular adult? I mean when that middle box removed

[@per-akeskog7400]

At ~13:44 I think you missed one feauture of the removable center console? It looks like there is a storage compartment in the bottom of the unit? (I gues a sliding one) Would be odd if they didnt utalize the whole thing. Also, 100%with you on the door closing sound, thats really important. Great review, good job! 😊👍

VERY VERY smart instrument cluster when u adjust the steering height. 10+ for u there vw :)

[@PaulMeier-cu3ds]

A fascinating review, thank you. This Buzz shows VW at its current best. The design and engineering is wonderful with numerous practical design touches. It has been compromised by parts of the UI/UX which still depend on capacitive buttons and Cariad’s failed auto software. Maybe VW’s recent investment in Rivian will sort out the software but presumably with a long lead time - say 2027. But though I do not want to drive one of these things, I really applaud the thought that has gone into practicality and design. Greater than €60k? Maybe not.

[@1993barry]

Do you know if the sensor for keyless access is on the sliding doors too? I have an ID.4 and the sensors are only on the front door which is annoying!

Since you always have your stick handy, some Isofix measurements would be handy! Either the distance between the inner isofix points. (Or outer to outer.) In a car like my Enyaq it is impossible to sit between the child seats or fit a third one, as the isofix points are so close to each other.

[@autogefuehl]

Now they say it does come at some point but unknown when. They have been going back and forth with the decision

[@gene978]

Trivia. The FORD / Mercury Products of the mid 70’s door closing sounds are so satisfying. Example 1975 Mercury Marquis sedan. Compared to a GM 4dr Sedan not so satisfying of a door closing sound. I had a ‘73 Fleetwood and a ‘75 Marquis 4 dr. The ford Products doors were so balanced and easy to close with a nice closing sound. Ok Rant over lol😅

[@DanielLehmann]

Any idea whether this will come with NACS in the US? I hope VW isn't launching with an obsolete port which will require adapters for most of its life. I really like this car! This is becoming my favorite EV.

[@alexdwebba]

[@autogefuehl]

[@ah_watt]

Wow! Nice 7 seaters. IMHO, this vehicle is good for the family for traveling. When traveling you have more time enjoying the trip, I believe no issue on waiting during recharging the EV. I'm not sure why the front wind screen requires the big pillars on both sides, unless like previous older models, the pillars was there to accomodate the swivel type of mirrors that can be opened to allow fresh air coming inside the cabin without much wind drag. 😅

[@wktuba9676]

Extra power from AWD will help if you regularly haul a full load of people and stuff, weight adds up quickly in a big vehicle like this (I own a 2002 Chevy Suburban with a 5.3L V8 and can feel the difference with 7 people and all our stuff on a road trip).

[@flottenheimer]

Why isn't the UK going to get the long-wheelbase version of the ID Buzz GTX that will be offered in other markets?

[@luongv427]

Not an EV fan, but I would definitely buy this when it's in the US. I hope the US models have removable 2nd row.

[@Danne89]

36:22 does the sliding door stop earlier when you are using the charging port? Why did they design it so the charging door is being blocked? :O

[@autogefuehl]

good point. I gotta try that

[@Quickicecarreviews123]

Same w my Pacifica. I need to see if the sliding door stops before running over gas port

[@Blackdawn80]

Long wheel base looks awkward. It's a shame the US won't get the standard as that one looks like it has proper dimensions.

Yes, door closing sound is important.

[@Hybridog]

The middle row seats in my 2017 Odyssey are removable and they are really heavy. I understand they have to be sturdy for durability and crash performance, but they will kill your back if you aren't careful. Would like to see car companies offer a light weight seat option for a premium. I'll pay $1000 for seats that don't weight 70 lbs.

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

Even with the LWB, you're shorter than many estates/station wagons, so that wouldn't scare me away. It is a pity regarding the 2nd seat row being fixed though... could be nice to be able to remove them and/or turn them around (face to face) for a more limo-feeling for the passengers, or just eating together while camping. It also makes it sound like the rumoured "ID.Buzz California" is still far in the future. Multivan is still easier to customise. Otherwise I'm really in love with the Buzz, neat and compact, drives like a sedan and you still have more space than in an SUV.

[@christionson24]

does anyone know if there will be a short weelbase with a third row in the future?

[@autogefuehl]

It's a smaller van than others but they way they used space is incredible it looks spacious enough.

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

don't get fooled by the wide angle lens of the camera. you have to check with your own eyes.

[@josefv8708]

Agree, this is the advantage of pure EV Platform...more inner space. The short Version is only 4.70m...shorter than a Passat B8 with 4,78m...but has deeper cargo space than a VW Multivan on ICE Platform with 4.97m...the engine in the front costs a lot of space inside.

Unveiling the VW ID Buzz LWB - shaping the future of family vehicles!

I am truly impressed by the room in the 2&3 rows and the ingress and egress of the third row

[@Hybridog]

I want one, but not sure I can afford it. Plus I really want my next EV to have LFP batteries and longer range. Maybe Gen 2 will be for me.

[@R56Cooper]

Very much looking forward to seeing these arrive in North America🎉 hopefully there is a model that gets 300+miles

[@danielstefanovic2604]

well he said in the video the biggest battery they can fit is the 86kwh, there simply isnt room for more.

[@R56Cooper]

@danielstefanovic2604 ah, wish they at least put a 95+kw battery for that size of vehicle...

[@Saddex]

​@@R56CooperThat might happen within 5 years. Stellantis at least could fit 98 kwh on an ID 4-sized crossover.

0:48 haha putting taiwanese flag for chinese language. Such a flex

[@lovice]

What Taiwanese flag? Is there such a thing? That is the flag of Republic of China. People live in the Republic of China speak Chinese. What's so "flex" about that?

[@autogefuehl]

Not sure what you mean, the viewers of our Chinese language KZbin channel are almost all from Taiwan what you can very well see in analytics. One reason is ofc that KZbin is blocked in mainland China. For mainland China, we do offer the locally known/famous social media platforms as well as a separate service.

I think this is the one of the best looking ev in my opinion if not the best🤩👍

[@djchristian82]

The headlights moved at 0:40 looking towards Thomas. It's alive!

[@autogefuehl]

hehe =)

[@johnnysmile01]

I love the iD Buzz 🤩

[@greengraycolor]

No three independent removable seats in the second row is a deal breaker.

[@thore8978]

Ohh willkommen in Hannover :D

[@washingtonpereira1900]

About the doors, i thought you had worked as a chauffeur, that you had a fleet of cars, limousines, that sort of thing..

[@SFzip]

solid sounding doors is a thing 👍

[@RonaldDaviesRon]

I live in the US. I got my name on a waiting list 3 years ago and got a call about a month ago wanting to know what color I wanted. Supposedly they are making them in Germany and bringing over a round in November. Specs weren’t totally defined. But they thought it was a 91 kWh battery.

[@hansblafoo]

86 kWh is the net capacity of the battery, 91 kWh the full (but not usable) capacity.

[@Seven7ails]

Ahhh! This looks great

[@joemartino6976]

Thomas, you mentioned how the ID Buzz might be useful to your brother and his family.. Any chance you were thinking about you and Lea for the same reasons? Thanks for an excellent review!

[@autogefuehl]

cheers! well we enjoyed the ride for sure and it is a likeable car, at this moment we dont need the space however.

Kinda disappointing compared to T5/6/7 regarding the seats not being on rails, can't remove them, no bench/bed combo.... :/ Wonder if VW will try to make a California version of this.

[@Stealther]

Does it have Apple CarPlay? Wired or Wireless?

[@freddiecarr7602]

YES!
