ID.Buzz long-wheelbase version is undergoing road tests with an expected range of up to 700 km.

Recently, the trial installation vehicle of ID.Buzz LWB (long-wheelbase version) was exposed during road test in Europe.

The front and rear of the trial installation vehicle are disguised with components from Volkswagen T6. By the drum brake of the rear wheel and the auxiliary driving camera located at the lower front under the windshield, it can be determined that it is a trial installation vehicle of ID.Buzz. Meanwhile, according to the lengthening at the C-pillar, it is clear that this is a long-wheelbase version of ID.Buzz LWB.

It is reported that the long-wheelbase version of ID.Buzz will provide more spacious third-row and trunk space. Currently, the dimensions of the standard model of ID.Buzz are 4,712 x 1,985 x 1,937 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,938 mm. However, it is a pity that the current ID.Buzz is a 2+3 five-seater model. At the press conference in March, careful friends may have noticed that the “third-row space” reserves armrests and cup holders.

Later, Volkswagen will launch a 2+2+2 six-seater version and a 2+3+2 seven-seater version. It is believed that, while providing the third-row space, the long-wheelbase version of ID.Buzz will install lower guide rails and detachable rotating seats, just like the design of the concept car and T7.

In addition, the long-wheelbase version of ID.Buzz will be equipped with a 111 kWh battery pack. According to the energy consumption of ID.4/6, the full-electric range of ID.Buzz LWB is about 700 km, which will fluctuate with the temperature. The range is about 200 km longer than the standard version. According to the disclosed information, a 58 kWh entry-level version is also under synchronous testing, which may be used in the Cargo version to reduce costs.

The current model of ID.Buzz will be pre-sold in Europe in May and officially launched in the autumn of this year. It is expected that ID.Buzz LWB will meet us in 2024. However, there is currently no news of landing in the Chinese market.🔗Information source: motor1
