Zeekr MIX: What the VW ID. Buzz Could’ve Been!

[@ChinaDriven]

Pricing has been announce. Starting at 279,900 RMB (~39,250USD) for the smaller battery. And 299,900RMB (~42,000 USD) for the larger pack. So higher than I guessed 🥲

[@Frosty3k]

good 1st look ! good title btw, totally agree and i wish i could get my hands on one. About the materials, do you think its easy to clean? especially the floor materials. Could you please let us know more about the practicality? door bin sizes, glovebox, overall storage, does it have a "frunk"? Also it would be really nice to know if they plan to ship it to the EU. If so...an updated price would be very welcomed :) Thanks m8

[@ChinaDriven]

@@Frosty3k there isn’t an abundance of interior storage and pockets. You have two in the console that are identical. A very small compartment under the Center console armrest. There is a fairly deep glove box. There is no frunk as far as I’m aware.

[@larsradtke4097]

TBH, BUZZ is not the right comparison but the ID4 or the Golf Sportsvan. From the short bonnet you would expect huge space in the inside for a third row, but there isn't. The Trunk is tiny. Somewhere the coud be space was completely wasted. The VW caddy or VW Touran is also only 4.6m has a longer bonnet and they have a third row. This is not a MPV but a taller Limousine with cool bus doors. Especially the cargo space, is a disappointment, that there aren't at least 2 small seats.

[@zodiacfml]

toned down voice at the beginning tiny bit bother me until the doors opened in this car! nice touch!👍 Definitely a good MPV which has more utility. The large interior space allows for more movement or leg room if repurposing an EV as a room for anything like office/entertainment or even sleep? Speaking of sleep, I think the only negative for me is the automation of the seats and its added cost. I prefer manually moving the front seats including user removeable passenger seat completely.

[@ChinaDriven]

I see what you mean. I guess "manual seats" don't fit right with Zeekr's brand positioning as a premium product...maybe we'll get a more manual Geely galaxy version

[@onlineo2263]

Looks amazing... But We have small children. They dont need loads of space, we need loads of space in the boot. The ID Buzz in the UK is 20cm longer but has more than double the boot space at 1121 litres. No intention of buying one but I wish the Chinese could build a few more cars with massive boots.

[@ChinaDriven]

the boot size figure is a little misleading. with kids in the back you could push the seats forwards more to gain more boot space but will still be less than 1100L this is a car really focused on enhancing what you do when you get to your destination. Family day camping has become super popular in China since Covid and has remained popular. This vehicle is aimed at that market

[@ChinaDriven]

As for overal boot space in Chinese cars. the P7+ and Mona have large boots. But as a rule of thumb Chinese prefer more second row legroom. Hence why their car segment sizes tend to slot between ours being slightly longer with gobs of rear passenger space

[@abefrancis4137]

I was initially excited, but as I kept watching my hopes started to be dashed. Only 5 seats, sooo many electric motors and servos to break and a maddeningly long wait for the door to open so you can get into the damn thing. I think love would turn to hate fairly quickly. The B pillar integrated into the doors is genius though and I like the concept. It’s almost like they started with a brilliant innovation, realised its possibilities and then ruined it by not knowing when to stop. 😊

[@ChinaDriven]

Auto doors are a pet peeve of mine. I've spoken about how you have to relearn how to open a door. You have to stand differently so you are not in the way of the sensors, but they still a bit slow. I think the servos and motors are a problem for the second or third owner lol As for only 5 seats, in China there are many 6 seat SUVs, and 6/7 seat MPVs. This forgoes a 6/7 seat layout in favour of something different. I like different, keeps things interesting!

Great video but tech is good, safety concerns of cnn EV are the big issue

[@ChinaDriven]

The whole "China safety is poor or bad" is outdated. These vehicles are all developed with global sales in mind nowadays. So they are built to US and European safety standards. So even if the Chinese safety test is "easier" it doesn't matter becuase they aren't built to pass that test. They are built to pass ENCAP. And we can see the ENCAP ratings of Chinese EVs in Europe have a spectacular record. Tesla uses Chinese battery for their LFP packs in their European Model Ys...no one says anything about that. It's all a perception thing, based on history. Back in the day China could only really sell very cheap domestic products, because everyone wanted expensive foreign products. How do you make a car cheap or a TV? You use lower level of tech, so car safety was low because they weren't using the latest methods because it would make the products too expensive. Remember that if you take a car that got 5 stars in ENCAP 5 years ago, it probably wouldn't get 5 stars today, every year it moves on, and thats expensive for OEMs. Everyone applauds Volvo/polestar's safety and thats owned by Geely, and no one mentions concerns about Lotus safety even though again owned and developed by Geely. Or in London the black taxi cabs which are all owned, developed and produced by Geely.

[@POTThaesslich]

Its more an EV9 though, isn't it? the Buzz has lower, taller and wider loading area

[@ChinaDriven]

I wouldn't really agree its more like a EV9, it's not an SUV. I think it is a modern interpretation of the VW bus the open space more in line with a micro-camper. I'd like to see, and I think with aftermarket we will do, more camp orientated fixtures. Maybe a camp focused sliding centre console. It's not the same as what the VW Buzz is. But I think in many ways the VW Buzz for all of it's leaning on the VW type 2 styling doesn't really capture what that vehicle was about. This does a better job.
