Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX review | 335bhp VW bus!! 

Now that’s a car…. 😎

The LWB pull 1600, GTX or otherwise. Normal wheelbase is 1800.

53-ish kWh?...you would likely pull that Airstream about 40 miles I'm thinking.

it is!

true true

That’s true I guess

You can use it...but there is no must. Usually you use only a little bit of the engines power...not comparable to an ICE...forget what you have learned. The power is not the same like for ICEs...you get it easily by any electric engine and power of the battery. AND...if you limit the power...you limit the power of the regen, too.

@@josefv8708 That was not the point. It costs to put more BHP and they are not required for such a car. Of course you can use them or not, but better invest in battery pack and other features than to make a hot wheels van.

My ID buzz has 77KWh and it’s fine, does everything we need it to do, including taking us to the Alps ( from London) at Easter.

@@michaelridler5119 sure, I am aware it is possible, I have made many a long jurney with standard range teslas, my argument is it does not make it a compelling product at that price point. If you travel at 135kph in the French autorute in winter with a fully loaded car (as I suppose you do) you are stopping every 200km or 1.5 h driving, that just doesn’t cut it in this day and age and at that price… in a car made for long road trips… terrible imho

The motors wont be more efficient with less power.. Aerodynamics, overall vehicle efficiency and battery capacity is what matters

Increased efficiency is always better, but has nothing to do with the power of the engine. Can be seen here, too...the new APP550 with 286hp is more efficent than the old one with only 204hp. Teslas are the most efficient and have a lot of power... All you have learned for ICEs...forget about it, since an electric engine just delivers very low power and has low consumption, if you do not ask for more. AND...if the engine is weak, you are limited in regen, too. A Taycan for example can regen at 400kw, due to the strong motor, and in most cases it needs no friction brakes at all.

How many 2003 VWs do you see left on the road? ...

The fact that VW doesn't offer the BUZZ with its commercial's 2+1 front bench or a 3rd row.in short wheel base form just shows how little VW are trying. It's not the fault of being an EV. It's a fault of excess and profit gouging a retro icon Much like the NewBeetle

Plenty

@@NobbyOnCars how many electric vehicles will be around when they’re 20 odd .

Well we haven't got to that level of time yet but I'm not seeing the same level of doom as yourself.

Thanks for your input…..

It says it’s got a 400km range.

A crappy VW diesel that they cheated the emissions testing with you mean?….

There is a real engine...it is called electric engine, which is much more efficient, than pounding pistons. Buy a Multivan instead, if you need an ICE Car...

Have you seen all the misinformation I wonder why. I don't even drive an ev and I can see it.

2024 has been the second strongest year of EV sales in Ireland, that’s all I know.

I have a ID buzz 1st edition, it’s great! 250mile range is fine. We drove it from London to the Alps at Easter and it was fine.

Nope!😂

Just wait the oil run out… fo you take a bisycle or Horse or EV… Hmmm…

If BYD would bring something similar 30% cheaper with Blade 2.0, it could be game over. What amaze me, is German manufacturers are still offering 2 years warranty on cars. I have more on a dishwasher. My Toyota has 10 year limited warranty from service to service
