Design & Presence

The ID. Buzz Cargo revives the classic VW van silhouette with a modern, friendly twist — rounded corners, a broad face and slim LED signature that make it approachable rather than anonymous. Its dimensions are purposeful: roughly 4,712 mm long, 1,985 mm wide and 1,932 mm tall, so it fills the road without feeling like a tractor-trailer in the city. The overall look balances commercial seriousness with brand character, which helps when a work vehicle also represents a business on the street.

Interior & Usability

The cabin of the Cargo version focuses on function: durable finishes, straightforward switchgear and a driving position tuned for long shifts behind the wheel. Seating is for 3 up front in a practical layout that keeps paperwork and mobile devices within reach, while rubberised floor options and easy-to-clean surfaces make maintenance simple. Controls are largely familiar to VW drivers, with tactile knobs for climate and a centrally placed touchscreen for the infotainment tasks most drivers actually use.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Load capacity is the headline: up to about 3,900 litres of cargo volume and payloads that peak near 753 kg in the heaviest specification make it a genuine working van rather than a dressed-up people carrier. The square load bay, low load sill and flat floor mean bulky items slide in and out without acrobatics, while secure anchor points and partition options keep tools and goods where they belong. For businesses that need a daily blend of parcels, equipment and occasional long items, the space is both generous and intelligently packaged.

Driving & Handling

Powertrain choices range from a modest 170 hp rear-wheel-drive unit to a sporty 340 hp all-wheel-drive setup, with a middle ground around 286 hp, so on-road manners vary from pragmatic to brisk. Torque figures — up to 679 Nm on the top spec — mean confident overtakes and easy merging even when the van is loaded, though curb weights near 2.5 tonnes give it a settled, heavy feel. Steering and suspension tune aim for comfort and predictability rather than corner-carving agility, which suits urban deliveries and motorway runs more than tight, enthusiastic driving.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Energy consumption sits in the low twenties of kWh per 100 km depending on spec, with quoted figures like 19.2 kWh/100 km and 20.3 kWh/100 km; battery options include about 59 kWh and 79 kWh, translating to WLTP ranges from approximately 330 km up to 455 km. In real-world use, heavy loads, roof racks and stop-start urban routes reduce those numbers noticeably, so the larger battery is advisable for longer daily routes while the smaller pack suits predictable urban runs. Charging speed and infrastructure will shape day-to-day usefulness, but the efficiency figures suggest competitive operating costs compared with combustion vans.

Assistance & Infotainment

Technology follows VW’s ID family script: a clear central touchscreen, digital driver display and a suite of assistance systems such as adaptive cruise, lane keeping and parking aids that lower fatigue on long shifts. The interface is familiar to modern VW users and supports smartphone integration, route planning and fleet telematics if required, though some functions are subscription-tied in certain markets. Safety and convenience features are comprehensive for a commercial vehicle, combining practical aids with smart, connected functionality.

Who is it for?

The ID. Buzz Cargo targets businesses and professionals who need a practical electric van with real cargo capability and a modern image — think delivery fleets, tradespeople and service companies operating inside cities and on regional routes. With versions spanning about 170–340 hp and ranges from roughly 330–455 km, buyers can prioritise economy, range or performance depending on daily duty cycles. For operators wanting a functional, recognisable workhorse with lower running emissions and a well-sorted driving experience, it’s a compelling EV choice; those needing maximum payload or rugged off-road ability should compare specifications carefully.
