On June 2, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles started production of the all-new Volkswagen ID. Buzz model at its plant in Hanover, Germany.
It's another MEB-based model after the Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 (and ID.6 in China), which enters the market - initially in Europe and, in 2024, also in North America (in a new long-wheelbase version).
According to the company, up to 15,000 ID. Buzz - Pro passenger version and Cargo vans - will be produced this year, while after the ramp-up phase, up to 130,000 units annually might be produced at the site.
In Germany the Volkswagen ID. Buzz prices start at €64,581 with VAT:
- ID. Buzz Pro: €64,581 with VAT (€56,606 deducting incentives)
- ID. Buzz Cargo: €54,430 with VAT (€46,455 deducting incentives)
or €45,740 net (€38,240 deducting incentives)
The 5-passenger version with an 82 kWh battery (77 kWh usable) and 150 kW electric motor (rear-wheel drive) is expected to go 423 km (263 miles) in the WLTP test cycle.
Charging from 5 to 80% state-of-charge (SOC) takes 30 minutes (with a peak rate of up to 170 kW).
