Legendary Return on March 9, 2022: ID.BUZZ Concept Car by Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess

On January 6, 2022, Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess tweeted about the return of a legend on March 9, 2022 – the ID.BUZZ, accompanied by a 15-second ID.BUZZ styling feature video.

The design of the ID.BUZZ is strikingly similar to the ID.BUZZ concept car that Volkswagen showcased at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, with a high degree of restoration. At the same time, it pays homage to Volkswagen’s classic T1 van, cleverly blending technology and classic design.

According to the official website of Volkswagen China, the ID.BUZZ is built on the MEB-XL platform, measuring 4,942mm in length, 1,976mm in width, 1,963mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3,300mm. It can accommodate up to 8 people.

The ID.BUZZ will be Volkswagen’s first fully automated van, expected to implement the “ID. Cruise” technology by 2025. In this mode, the driver can rotate the seat 180 degrees to face passengers.

The ID.BUZZ combines the atmosphere of a car and a lounge in its interior design, with a flexible seat layout. Unlike traditional gauges or controllers, it features a touch-sensitive multi-function steering wheel, AR augmented reality head-up display, and a center console tablet.

Equipped with a 4-wheel drive system, including two 150 kW electric motors in the front and rear, and a maximum capacity of 111 kWh battery pack, it can achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration within 5 seconds and reach a top speed of 160 km/h.
