Note: Window sticker has a retractable trailer hitch listed but this vehicle did not have it installed.

[@jochenculemann8475]

The most thorough, objective and and well executed driving test video I have watched so far. It works out the positives and negatives in a balanced way. I like the window sticker info at the end - good idea!

[@filipangeby]

I really appreciate your videos, nice and informative! Love the yellow pointer 😊

[@beastbee0118]

The integrated umbrella slot is so cool!

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Good review as always Mike and then I would love to buy this EV vehicle with this color now.

[@avas-i4f]

0:00-0:08 It looks like the same reverse sound as other VW EV models since 2021 ID.4!

[@Mirror1973]

This makes me want to have a family ❤❤❤

[@sirishkumar-m5z]

The sleek aerodynamic design of the bZ4X, featuring a fully covered underbody and a rear lip spoiler, optimizes airflow, reducing drag and enhancing efficiency while maintaining a sporty, dynamic presence on the road.

[@beastbee0118]

I want a Volkswagen so bad! I love how they are a progressive company that doesn't fight unions and they donate to the democratic party.

[@Molishious]

Looks great inside and out and has lots of practical space. I don’t like VW’s touch controls, wish they’d stop using them on all of their EV’s. I don’t see any cup holders on the second row.

[@armin1977]

awesume car. who needs a suv

[@Peizxcv]

For a car with bigger exterior dimensions than a minivan, the interior use of space is terrible. Why are the doors, walls, floorboard so thick when the battery capacity is the same as a normal EV sedan / SUV?

[@josefv-y8m]

Noise Cancelation...it is silent like a luxury car

[@chags3512]

The legroom is gigantic though isn’t it?

[@josefv-y8m]

You missed to slide down the short cut menu...with the camera

[@MikesCarInfo]

24:50 Yes, it can be added to the shortcut menu, but it is still two steps on the touchscreen. I prefer just one press with either a dedicated button or place on the touchscreen that is always there.

[@josefv-y8m]

@@MikesCarInfo not sure if you could press and hold one of the Direct shortcut on the Header and exchange it with the camera...never used Version 5.x myself, which is used in the US Version of the Buzz already. Any of those on top, I think 5, shortcuts can be exchanged

[@AntLive29]

the 70s called. they want their car back

[@Jjhelios40]

VW buzz needs a gas power variant also

[@kronzprinz]

Drum brakes for $66k???? you guys must've been dropped on your head as children.... that van is worth about $35k

[@josefv-y8m]

Drum brakes are excellent...due to regen braking 99% of the time, rear Discs will die each second year due to rust...see this on my Passat GTE Plugin.

[@ImperialCityNord]

DOA! Sad!

[@wmalden]

Too many interior colors. Blue, black, gray, red or brown or whatever those seats are. Hideous.🤮
