[@Hvitserk67]

The Buzz feels more like an SUV than a Van. How about it feel like a modern MPV that it really is? I think VW has really nailed it with this model. It is kind of retro looking, but at the same time actually not when you look at the design more closely. A really cool looking car and obviously at the same time a very nice car. Thank you for an excellent review of the car.

Interesting that there is such different charging performance between cars from the same manufacturer, same battery capacity and same vehicle platform. Has it been confirmed that the battery is different or is it the same battery with better cooling? It’s interesting to see these because American minivans are so huge. Every American minivan has had 3 rows of seats since the 1980s.

Hi Bjørn ... nice video again keep on the good work🙂But The price is to crazy.... In old days we all could buy a VW bus but now no way... I never buy a VW.... diesel scandal . After all, no normal family can afford to buy ID buz or normal ev. Here in Denmark, they do not give any subsidies to buy an electric car. That people think that thay can replace all fossil cars with electric cars in the futere is laughable. Where will the energy come from?. I think they should then make more Hydrogen cars. We do not have Hydro plants in Denmark like Norway does. They should make geothermal plants. But electric power is good business tax etc.. The price is from 579.995 kr in Denmark can be used 77 kWh / 82 kWh

The infotainment looks more pathetic with every day. Like bringing a big tube TV home when everyone else has flatscreens.

[@feschum]

To put it in American terms, based on the screen shot at 18 minutes, it's getting 2 miles per kilowatt-hour at an average speed of 70 mph. My 10 year-old Chrysler minivan gets 28 mpg. at that speed, but I don't like going that fast. Slowing down to 62 mph (100 km/hr) brings it up to 30 mpg and feels more comfortable. I don't like that the ID Buzz uses rear wheel drive. FWD is so much better in winter, and those rubber band tires would result in damaged rims on rough American roads, besides giving a harsh ride.

[@CreRay]

You have to hand it to Volkswagen, they did a fantastic job with this one. I became a VW hater after the diesel scandal, but the ID range has totally changed it for me. VW is going full gas with their EV's and it shows in the results. It also shows how good the result can be when you start with a clean sheet, instead of do a half-baked conversion of a combustion powered car. I just hope that VW can keep their momentum now that Herbert Diess is gone, a very bad decision I think, this guy was 100% investing in the future of the company and not hindered by conservative thinking. Although the ID Buzz is outside of the average family budget, prices will come down in a few years when a normal balance between demand and supply. Now VW, please go and do an ID.2, so I can start saving!

[@CreRay]

Ah yes, talking about half-baked... compare the ID Buzz to that ridiculous E-Transporter which could barely manage 100km in favourable conditions. That vehicle was perfect for the EV naysayers.

[@luc_libv_verhaegen]

The fast charging made it a buzz less of a disappointment for me. But... 2.5seats (only 2 isofix) in the second row, and no 200km of 120kmh avg in an 80% battery makes it a pretty limited family road trip car. This is not a worthy replacement for a Sharan/Alhambra, or even a touran. And VW deliberately tanked the seating in favour of the T7, there is no other excuse for the terrible seating.

[@davidmullins5738]

Super review Bjorn - (as always) - go VW and the ID Buzz - I just test drove one yesterday and ordered mine straight away (ID Buzz Family version with a hitch) and can't wait.
