Volkswagen Singapore has just unveiled the all-electric ID. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo, and it’s set to create quite the buzz.

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz, a spiritual successor to the legendary Type 1 Kombi, captures the heart with its funky design.

The prices are quite enticing too, starting at SGD $299,900 for the 5-seater and climbing a tad for the 6-seater and 7-seater. If you’re a business owner, the ID. Buzz Cargo comes in at a more palatable SGD $156,900.

The aesthetic of the ID. Buzz is a love letter to the Kombi, dressed in vibrant bi-colour options reminiscent of its two-tone predecessors. It’s a nod to the past while boldly stepping into the future.

Running on Volkswagen’s MEB modular electric car platform, the cabin is designed with sustainability in mind.

Eco-friendly materials like polyurethane and SEAQUAL® yarn, which is a clever blend of marine plastic and recycled PET bottles.

The cabin offers ample space with a modular setup, so you can configure it to suit your needs. Plus, the ambient lighting can shift through 30 colours.

A rear-motor electric motor punches out 210kW with impressive range: 487km for the long-wheelbase (LWB) and 461km for the standard variant and cargo.

If you’re wondering about charging times, you’ll be pleased to know it can go from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes on a DC charger.

The ID. Buzz comes with seven airbags and the latest IQ.DRIVE safety features. A suite that includes everything from Adaptive Cruise Control to a nifty Driver Attention Monitor.

All models also boast a turning radius of just 11.1 metres, making it easy to navigate tight streets.

Recently crowned “Medium Electric Van of the Year” by Company Car & Van Magazine, the cargo variant has a wooden-covered load compartment and a payload capacity of 770kg.

Ready to take on the toughest of tasks, all while looking good!

The all-new Volkswagen ID. Buzz is now available for purchase, with a generous warranty package.

Volkswagen has just unleashed the LWB variant of its electric van, the ID. Buzz. While there’s no official word yet on whether the LWB version will be available in Asia or specifically Singapore, we know that the regular ID. Buzz is set to grace our shores by mid-2024.

The ID. Buzz LWB stretches its wheelbase by an additional 250mm. This brings its size up to 4,962mm in length. This elongation grants the ID. Buzz LWB the ability to accommodate a third row of seats, transforming it into a spacious seven-seater people mover.

Oh, and it has 2,469 litres of storage space to boot. Lovely.

Volkswagen understands the importance of power, and the ID. Buzz LWB will be offered with an optional 85kWh battery to cater to its increased size. This larger battery also increases its overall power output, boosting its output from 201hp to 286hp.

Top speed is also given a boost, climbing from 145km/h to a spirited 160km/h. Volkswagen is even planning a high-performance ID. Buzz GTX variant for the future, boasting a formidable 339hp. 

Like its smaller sibling, the ID. Buzz LWB features a head-up display, an upgraded version of Volkswagen’s state-of-the-art infotainment system, and the convenience of remote parking via a smartphone app.

What the regular version doesn’t have is a new panoramic sunroof equipped with smart glass, which Volkswagen claims is now the largest glass sunroof ever produced by the marque.

Folks in North America get the luxury of air-conditioned seats and an illuminated Volkswagen logo on the front as well, distinguishing them from their European counterparts.

First deliveries of the ID. Buzz LWB is set to commence in North America in early 2024.
