We’re nonetheless months away from the Volkswagen ID Buzz happening sale within the U.S., and we don’t but understand how a lot it can price in American {dollars}, however VW right this moment introduced trim ranges, choice packages and different particulars for the long-anticipated microbus revival. Three completely different trims of the long-wheelbase Buzz shall be accessible at launch with varied cool options, however most significantly, the ID Buzz shall be provided with eight completely different two-tone paint jobs.
Almost all the paint schemes are paired with a Sweet White higher part. The lower-half colours embody Blue Charcoal, Cabana Blue, Energetic Orange, Indium Gray, Mahi Inexperienced, Metro Silver and Pomelo Yellow. There can even be an choice for a Metro Silver higher half with Cherry Pink on the decrease half. In the event you hate enjoyable and whimsy and desire a boring single colour on your ID Buzz, the one paint choices are Sweet White, Deep Black Pearl and Metro Silver.
A bit extra stunning are the ID Buzz’s three completely different inside colour schemes. VW hasn’t usually bought its vehicles with attention-grabbing interiors, the GTI’s plaid seats apart, however all the ID Buzz’s cabins can have precise colour and texture. The primary choice is Moonlight, which has darkish brown leatherette upholstery with white piping, a black headliner, blue door card inserts and darkish wood-look dashboard trim. The Dune scheme has gentle gray leatherette with clay piping, clay door inserts and lightweight fake wooden trim, whereas the Copper choice has “wealthy brown” leatherette with yellow piping, brown door inserts and “washed” wood-look trim.
Each ID Buzz will come normal with 20-inch wheels, a 12.9-inch central touchscreen, a 5.3-inch digital gauge cluster, 30-color ambient lighting, twin power-sliding doorways, keyless entry, an influence tailgate, a wi-fi charging pad, parking help with reminiscence, and VW’s IQ Drive go well with of driver-assist options that features automated lane adjustments.
The bottom mannequin is the Professional S, which is simply accessible in rear-wheel drive with 282 horsepower and has a second-row bench seat for a complete of seven seats. The following rung up the ladder is the Professional S Plus, which is obtainable in RWD or with the 335-hp dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. On the RWD Plus the bench seat is normal whereas second-row captain’s chairs are non-compulsory, however the AWD model has the captain’s chairs as normal. The Professional S Plus provides a head-up show, a surround-view digital camera system, and a nine-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. Choices embody the Flexboard that creates a flat load flooring with storage bins beneath, a retractable tow hitch and an electrochromic panoramic glass roof, and movement activation for the sliding doorways and tailgate.
Solely accessible for the primary mannequin 12 months would be the 1st Version, which comes totally loaded and is obtainable with RWD or AWD. It has particular 20-inch wheels, 1st Version badges and roof rail cross bars to visually differentiate it from different Buzzes, whereas the cabin has the Dune inside paired with heritage-inspired flooring mats. VW says the first Version can even include “unique proprietor’s items,” although no additional particulars are given.
VW has but to announce precisely when the ID Buzz will go on sale or how a lot it can price, past saying that it ought to hit sellers this summer season, however we all know the corporate received’t be accepting reservations for the extremely in-demand EV. Along with what’s going to most likely be some sticker shock for consumers — I’m guessing the bottom Buzz will begin someplace within the $60k vary and prime out nicely north of $70k — the Buzz will most likely be marked as much as hell for a minimum of the primary 12 months or two.
