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!

Fantastic review as always guys. The door closing sound is an integral part of the review and tells the consumer so many things as you state. I recently had to put my VW Golf in for a minor repair and got a Toyota CHR as a courtesy car. A quick Autogefühl door closing test told me the car was of poor quality, this was backed up by scratchy plastics in the cabin.

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.
@Republic3D2 ай бұрын
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.

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.

@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

Its pretty ridiculous how long its taken VW to being this to the US. Im very confused what they are doing over here. Their models are very uncompetitive in nearly every segment they are in. They have been here for decades and have very very little to show for it. Their sales are very very low comapred to the competition for many of their models. I genuinely am very confused that they are still selling cars over here to be honest. They only seem interested in offering their most expensive models these day here. Its very irritating to see so many brands to choose to sell lass cars but for higher profits. They all seem to be "moving up market" as they always say. We dont need these cars to move upmarket. We need affordable cars. Edit: See this is what Im talking about. The interior is plastic fantastic. Trying to compete with American brands for how much cost cutting they can do on the interior. And for such a high price point as well.

That issue with the middle row of seats not being able to be removed is a bit strange because when you think about induction, it should be possible to get electric power to that middle row of seats. The technology called induction is being tested for charging electric cars from under the road, but induction is also the same technology used in electric kettles that can unplug from their base, or electric toothbrushes. So induction technology has been around for a long time, it's cheap and surely it would be easy to connect the middle seat to a power source without have some complex cables that people have to plug in or unplug. As for the data, there are many ways of passing data without a cable.

Door closing sound is important. YOu can hear hte build quolity of the car if the sound proofing is good and hte feel of a premium car or not. Toyota prius has one of the worts door closing sound in my opinion. And thats not a premium car,

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.

When VW puts the new Tiguan’s steering wheel (with actual buttons), this will be a compelling package. Longer term, optimizing the infotainment for better user experience will make the car (almost) perfect.

I live in Korea. Hyundai and Kia are family. So they share a lot of parts. But ppl prefer to buy Kia. Cause of door closing feelings. Kia has more heavy sound than hyundai.

I find a turning circle of almost 12 Meters not especially narrow for a vehicle of less than 5 Meters. A Mercedes E class for instance has the same length and smaller turning circle but nobody has ever mentioned it's small turning circle before ...

it's about the wheelbase. This has a wheelbase of 3,24 m. An E-Class has a wheelbase of 2,96 m.

@@autogefuehl You are right, just considering the wheelbase the turning circle is indeed quite small.

It would be good during the rear seats section if you could mention whether all the rear seats have top tethers or not. Those are even more important than isofix I think.
@autogefuehlАй бұрын
Thanks! U say that more use tether than isofix?
@MaddyWhite-o7hАй бұрын
@@autogefuehl well you can install most cars seats using a seatbelt instead of isofix (we call it UAS here in Canada). So although it's nice to have because it makes installation easier, it's not strictly necessary. But it is required to use the top tether for all forward facing car seats (again, at least in Canada, maybe not elsewhere). The top tether isn't a replacement or alternative to isofix, it's just a separate part of the car seat installation process. And it is required for some car seats, whereas the isofix is always optional.

@@MaddyWhite-o7h so that's why many NA cars have top tether anchors on all 3 seats in the 2nd row even though they might not have ISOFIX in the middle, wheres in Europe they would be missing top tether in the middle seat. 👌

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.

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.

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

A major let down is that the third row is not sliding :( Seems that there is more space than beeden for the passengers if kids are on the third row, would have been nice to be able to convert that space to more luggage space. I guess i will stick with my Opel Zafira e - although I would love the longer range, design and chargin speed of the buzz...
