InsideEVs recently created a render of the Volkswagen ID.BUZZ based on a set of spy shots of a disguised prototype. The render features design elements, such as the wheels and headlights, that are closer to those of a production vehicle. With many of the design cues from existing ID. models, it has some credibility.

The spy shots reveal a cargo version of the ID.BUZZ, but heavily disguised that changes the appearance significantly from the original renders. The disguised prototype also features a diamond-shaped air intake similar to the one found on existing ID. production models.

Volkswagen previously released renders of the ID.BUZZ concept vehicle, which features both a cargo and MPV variant, with the cargo version featuring dual sliding doors at the rear.
The prototype corresponding to the cargo version of the ID.BUZZ also appeared at an offline exhibition, featuring electronic side mirrors and retaining the sliding door on the passenger side.
