Thomas, while you are with VW high level management , can you please tell them that the second and third row seats of Buzz Long Wheelbase versions need to be removable just like T7.
And that we need three independent seats with ISOFIX on the second raw, like the Sharan and Touran. Not sure which master brain designs lately the cars at the VW group…
@@Harrythehun All modern cars have shitty software. VW software is broken, Tesla will disable the car remotely if you don't agree with their terms, BMW has a subscription for heated seats. Just give me a car with no software please! I don't want any license agreements, subscriptions, or forced updates. 🌈
@@bestofalllife I do 1000km in my current car without refueling. That's why. Here, you have another car with max 500km in city driving and 300km on highway (even less if you look at 80% charging rule and we talk about perfect conditions, imagine range on highway with low temps, with extra roof box and 2 bicycles on the back and entire family inside - that's what I do quite often ) . They are great for city driving for sure, but that's not enough for me. If range goes like 2x or more comparing to what we have these days then I'm jumping in.
I do like the Buzz a lot, I think VW have done a great job with it. One MAJOR problem, I cannot believe that they did not replicate the rear seat/cargo area from the T7 Multivan with the alloy seat runners allowing for part or full removal of the seats. The rear interior packaging and flexibility of the Buzz is a fail as a consequence. Thanks Thomas, enjoyed the video and your in depth information. Long live the Kombi. Greetings from Australia.
This is going to come later and is also going to be part of the longer version from the start. They are doing that to save costs while ramping production and while I don't like it they sold almost the complete stock for this year before today's videos even came out.
This car as a camper would be the dream adventure car for me. I would pick the green and white combination with the same interior, just has something about it. Love that it is completely animal free too. Impressed with the range as well. A bit pricy but worth the money for the looks and nostalgia in my opinion. I feel round taillights would be a bit too much for me, so like it as it is. By the way, great to see you in my local area of Copenhagen, Thomas. Loved that bit of Danish too. Hope you enjoyed. Thank you for another great review. Auf Wiedersehen aus Kopenhagen!
How can it be an ideal adventure car? It's way smaller than the normal VW campervan, it's basically just as big as an older Ford Galaxy. Also, i can't really understand how a plastic interior can be better than real leather interior, since real leather lasts almost indefinitely, while plastic is...well, damn plastic. And no, contrary to what he says in the video, most plastic is not recycled.
I like the two color option. To me cargo set up is as important as passenger set up so folding/removable rear seats are important. Round headlights would have better matched the old vans but these look good. I am having trouble imagining how round headlights would look on this. I would like to see the shorter one here in the US. Does the multiflex board support the weight of a person crawling / laying on it?
I'm reading conflicting reports as to whether the seats will be removable. The 5 passenger SWB van that's on the market right now, the seats look to be fixed, and they are using that board thing to make a flat load floor. Odd design since the gas powered VW van has the rail system that lets you rotate and remove the seats, and works very well. I hope the US market LWB 3 row van has the rail system, because removing the seats to fit cargo is a better solution that that awkward and height robbing board system they are showing.
what’s too greedy? last time i checked, this was $80k (with options). i am very underwhelmed with the design (and lack of bespoke interior) and tech. so, for me, it’s too expensive for a meh car.
This actually looks quite good and even something I'd consider using for my work where I drive 20,000+ miles per yer BUT the VW software is so incredibly bad. I currently have a 2021 VW T-Roc and today the Android Auto just stopped working for no reason for about 90 minutes, then randomly started up again. It does that a lot, and its incredibly irritating. Until VW really sorts out its terrible software, there's no way I would consider getting another one
Great review as always. Thank you. I love this car - I love that they are doing something different and bold. I really hope its a success for them. Also - your danish accent is pretty good Thomas :)
definitely looks very nice, better than most SUVs on the road. Comfortable? Yes. High overview and small hood = excellent visibility. P.S. I'd be surprised if there is a car salesperson (in USA) that knows and shows more about the car than Autogefuhl. It should be a mandatory training video for salespeople.
More and more I start to wonder why many cars have prominent buttons for drive modes. Who changes drive mode (that often) than you need a dedicated button for it? I think it's something that could easily be put in a submenu, so the button can be dedicated to a more useful functionality.
Finally. It's really here! An exacting positive review. Hope it comes to the USA. Make a dent into this weird pickup culture we have. 90 percent are not working trucks. Just wanna bees... Thank you.
As a minivan driver, I’m very excited for this. However, it seems to lack the functionality and versatility of the US minivans, which defeats the purpose of driving a van.
Yes round headlights for me. It would make it look even more timeless rather than trendy. The interior is almost perfect and also timeless except for the steering wheel. But that front lower air intake design is the very first thing i would change, its just awful and doesnt match the rest of the car. Lastly, it would be nice to have more color choices, and also not just white for the upper portion.
when this was announced, I was really expecting it to be a current VW transporter/caravelle/multivan replacement. But it came out as a glorified minivan. The cargo version is simply too small to replace my T5 transporter
I appreciate what they did with the headlights. A car can't only be retrospective, it also needs some elements that connects it to the present with contemporary cars and contemporary technology (like led, matrix etc). Round headlights would make it look like its was trying to mimic the type 1 microbus too much. Now, the ID Buzz is its own car, with its own design, albeit with some clear flirting back to the original. That's my take at least!
Best reviews on yt, that's for sure. Thank you. Buzz will the most beautiful, small camper ever for short local journeys and or winter. Unfortunately it doesn't cut it for bigger adventures. For that reason I choose sprinter L2 h2.
I like the blue/white and mint/white combinations. I'm not surprised it's the same length to EV6/Ionic 5. They have more rear legroom than this from the reviews I've seen.
Yes, pity they remained with the Infotainment Centre/Console. They had seen the people were not happy with it, via the ID 3, a long while back. Great looking car, but marred by the bad plasticaly Habtic buttons, and Infotainment Centre.
What I’d like more than round headlights is better ventilation in the back. Roll-down windows in the sliding doors and/or vented windows in the back would be helpful; even better would be air vents for heat/air conditioning. Some other reviewers have pointed out this lack of air flow in the back, and I really hope this situation is improved for the US market (especially since it’ll be even bigger and will have even more ventilation needs).
He never even mentions that the rear windows can’t be moved. Like it’s normal or something when not a single other manufacturer sells a single model like that.
I think that is very stupid from VW to not put 3 independent passenger seat in the rear seats. A family of 5 with 3 young kids cannot use 3 isofix chairs... I agree with what you were saying, this is more to compete with SUVs and not Multivan... Great review Thomas. Continue your great work. Cheers from Portugal
The only thing I'm missing for ID. Buzz is a slightly better acceleration. I know, it's not what it's for, but it would be a nice bonus. Other than that, it seems amazing!
@@SidewaysN Why do you need windows when you have AC? EVs have a low rollover risk because of low center mass. You can use an emergency hammer with a pointy tip if you need to get out and the doors are stuck.
When you live next to the beach in California, you go for the fun colors. I wouldn’t call it screaming out colors. The subtle combinations work well for the weather in Germany.
I don’t think VW even attempted to make this a retro looking Camper van thereby missed the opportunity to make it an instant success which is a real shame.
Great video Thomas! I still don‘t understand why there will be no 7 seater for the short wheelbase. You can get a touran with seven seats. Six seats is not very practical imo
VW just look at stering wheel in T7 - it is so much better and but 7 seats in SWB version with childseat firendly tilt as You do in Touran for years... I don't need LWB to be deifficult in city, but I need 7 seats! according to paint / seats options - My pick is orange or green paint and dark the most boring inside
HI Thomas - can you ask VW why they didn't just use the T7's seating systems and launch the LWB at the beginning. I suspect - just having refreshed the T7 they don't want to kill the T7 sales in the US and other markets. But considering bans coming into countries for ICEs they could have colonised a complete segment like the Renault Espace did in the 1980s and 1990s. Even with the SWB, the T7 - type seating system would have been brilliant , especially with removable seats. They're being VERY conservative with the EV role out and it's going to hurt them
Autogefühl at Amager Strand in Denmark! So cool to see. Hope you got a chance to enjoy Copenhagen as well as the ID Buzz. Can't wait for the camper versions of the Buzz...
Yesss Thomas, Round lights with all the led matrix tech is the prefect light for the look! Now for the price. Eeeek. Hope they get a bigger battery for the lwb, it needs longer range here in America where the charging network is rather awful.
The best review so far! Thanks. Shame there are no more cool family cars! Those with a 3 or 4 kids, there are no more cars in Europe that can cater for them.
Yellow and orange are very visible and therefore safer. I believe safety is very conservative. I am less inclined to move towards camouflaged colours. Especially greys.
What is the pricing for the models shown? Or is it more of “if you need to ask you can’t afford it”. I would also like to know what the environmental impact is of creating the ID Buzz. Nice design and so far the only EV I’d be tempted by; it’d be the cargo van, minus bulk head in white on blue.
The 77kWh battery range is not much tbh. The predominately highway driving test showed 33kWh / 100km. Taking into account charging rules and such, this thing will do around 200km on a charge, and then you need to charge at least 30 minutes. This being also marketed as a camper van isn't practical. Plus exploring the countryside is common in a camper van, I doubt that the charge infrastructure is available in the countryside.
This is a good car from VW (ignoring the touch capacitive buttons). I hope VW continues to bring back what they were known for, quality and driving. Let's see how the ID Aero turns out to be!🤞
I think VWs electric vehicle styling has completely missed the mark. Hyundai made the perfect electric golf with the Ioniq 5, and VW have just ended up making some type of Peugeot from the 2000s
Definitely interested but if the “US” longer wheelbase version doesn’t have retractable rear windows, and the panoramic roof is fixed like a Tesla instead of a sunroof like VW’s wagons, i’m not getting it.
@@romulus_ Probably both, but yes the major reason was the specs. Retro design doesn't mean you can take away the side view mirrors and stick 2 screens as a replacement.
@@sarangsp1591 I find the car very attractive albeit limited in its abilities, particularly range. the loss of side mirrors for cameras may end up being commonplace sooner than later. but yes, doesn't appear to be selling very well.
Thanks for a detailed review, Thomas. Looks like it might be difficult to fit an after-market compressor fridge even in the long wheelbase version. The other things for us in North America are supply, and getting software updates. Nice van, though.

As a kid in the 70s I grew up camping in the VW camper van. They have a special place in my heart. ❤️
Really surprised they did not go with round lights..forgive the pun....... but not the brightest decision.
The front is lazy and ugly no need to avoid words.
Never apologize for a pun.
We can hope it'll arrive in the next generation, I like this class of EV and I think it got some potential

Wow they need this in the US asap. They'll sale as much as they can make! Better than trash Tesla.
It'll be useless in US, with such a limited range. Besides, it's cheaply made , even though it costs an arm and a leg, just like Tesla.
There's no excuse for not back-lighting the lower infotainment panel. How difficult could it be?!
That would be too much for comrades engineers in VW.

Just did a maxed out spec on the configurator for fun - £68,700 😮
Ouch. 😥

Most of my driving is on small roads around small English towns and villages. I therefore am looking for something like a VW Caddy camper.

The 77kWh battery range is not much tbh. The predominately highway driving test showed 33kWh / 100km. Taking into account charging rules and such, this thing will do around 200km on a charge, and then you need to charge at least 30 minutes. This being also marketed as a camper van isn't practical. Plus exploring the countryside is common in a camper van, I doubt that the charge infrastructure is available in the countryside.
This is a good car from VW (ignoring the touch capacitive buttons). I hope VW continues to bring back what they were known for, quality and driving. Let's see how the ID Aero turns out to be!🤞
Should have known Thomas were in copenhagen so i could have stood out there like a fan boy.. another good review
First choice would be the orange one, yellow the second. But real first choice would be a fully orange Buzz. I am not very fond of two tone cars.
Yes for round headlamps!
Nice! Was waiting for this one. Great job as usual Thomas 💚
make the lights round
Consumption test fully loaded with passagers, all the camping gear and mnt bikes please. Real life test.
It would be a huge disapointment.
I went over that same bridge on a Scandiavian roundtrip many years ago and I was fascinated by it!
The longer base version makes much more sense to have it as a family car.
Love the shape of the ID Buzz!
I have a fully loaded first edition coming hopefully in December. I have gone for the blue and white
Step in height a very useful measurement, especially for older people
Great Review Thomas, as always. I like the new ID Buzz design and I think it will be the right car for so many peoples. Cheers DrDuu
beste Grüße =)
I absolutely love the white on navy blue my favorite color combination navy is my favorite color 😍
Most Vans have more than 5 seats so really dissapointed that the launch edition only has 5 seats and a oversized boot.
Same here. Why no 7 seater for the short wheelbase? I dont get it….
Would look better with round or oval headlights
Hope they offer the front bench seats on the passenger version
I think VWs electric vehicle styling has completely missed the mark. Hyundai made the perfect electric golf with the Ioniq 5, and VW have just ended up making some type of Peugeot from the 2000s
I love this ID Buzz, the ID4 is much easier to live with than the Ioniq 5, I like how it looks, but it’s personal
I was told that the rear boards were for the use of a camping bed with all the back seats down!!
Thomas why couldn't they put the charging at the front
It looks like a better camper than the dear old T2 Microbus camper!!
Definitely interested but if the “US” longer wheelbase version doesn’t have retractable rear windows, and the panoramic roof is fixed like a Tesla instead of a sunroof like VW’s wagons, i’m not getting it.
Round head lamps would be MUCH BETTER!
Awesome video. more minivans please:) i sold my Cupra 300 to get a minivan 😄
The white tops are great for the heat of the desert.
I feel vw didn't necessarily want to go retro.
Ev and retro might confuse people.
honda did it with the honda e.
@@romulus_ and it failed
@@sarangsp1591 was it because of the retro looks or because of its specs?
@@romulus_ Probably both, but yes the major reason was the specs. Retro design doesn't mean you can take away the side view mirrors and stick 2 screens as a replacement.
@@sarangsp1591 I find the car very attractive albeit limited in its abilities, particularly range. the loss of side mirrors for cameras may end up being commonplace sooner than later. but yes, doesn't appear to be selling very well.
Did they mention the price? Nice detailed review but was the price mentioned?
Teal and white is how I'd order my ID Buzz
I'm agreed with you about color I will pick white/ dark blue 💙
What a very interesting vehicle so many options in range . Enjoying the content on your channel keep up with the good work 🎥👍👍
I really like the seat highest measurement, please included on other reviews! :)
Why there is no ventilation for the back seats?
Best ID Buzz review ive seen, thanks!
Yes Thomas round headlights
Nice you are in Denmark👍🏻👍🏻
Yes , I would like round headlights and oval vertical tail lights. Also change the funny looking front grill to a simple horizontal grills design.
Thanks for a detailed review, Thomas. Looks like it might be difficult to fit an after-market compressor fridge even in the long wheelbase version. The other things for us in North America are supply, and getting software updates. Nice van, though.
That's a fantastic vehicle. I agree with you, Thomas, because you're the man, it would be better with the round headlamps.
