CAR magazine UK lives with a VW ID.Buzz people carrier - this is our final report
Until the arrival of the polished ID. 7, I would tell anyone who’d listen that the ID. Buzz was the best electric Volkswagen on sale. It has a cohesive polish that just works: a roomy package, family-friendly features galore and a slick drive all wrapped up in a deliciously cool package. What’s not to like?
A cavernous 1121-litre boot with all five seats in place won me over initially and made mincemeat of tip runs and trips with the dog, but I came to miss the clever van trickery that used to be part of the package with VWs: there are no swivelling captain’s seats up front, no removable rear pews and none of the interchangeability that’s won countless hearts and minds among generations of California, Multivan and Transporter drivers.
I think this sums up the VW approach to the whole ID family, begat as it was in the rush to save face after Dieselgate and accelerate Wolfsburg’s EV conversion therapy. This is one very cool bus that, at least visually, slots seamlessly into the bloodline of fun-loving Vee Dubs with attitude. I cannot stress enough how many heads it turns and the general love displayed towards the Buzz, especially in our fizzy Lime Yellow and Candy White.
The Buzz has a becalming effect behind the wheel. I enjoyed the feelgood vibes and always emerged from a drive refreshed and relaxed. Perhaps it was the raised driving position, which provides an easy view out above other cars. But the smooth drivetrain, jump-in-and-select-D ease of use and hushed refinement all played their part.
