VW confirms ID. Buzz will have a 77 kWh battery

On March 9, Volkswagen will present the ID electric van. Buzz, a model that will pay homage to the mythical Transporter T1 of the 50s and 60s. With this model, the company will kill two birds with one stone, because in addition to being the most familiar alternative in the ID electric range, it will also serve as the brand’s “halo” vehicle.

Just three weeks before its official presentation, Volkswagen has released new images of the final model covered in light camouflage; In addition, it has also revealed some technical details of great interest, including its dimensions, the power of its drivetrain, or even the capacity of its battery pack.

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz, which will be available in passenger and cargo versions, will be based on the modular MEB platform, already seen on ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, and ID.6. Initially, it will be available with the well-known 77 kWh battery pack, which will be associated with a 204 hp (150 kW) electric motor and 310 Nm of torque. Its top speed will be limited to 145 km/h, and it will have a turning radius of just 11 meters.

the ID Standard Buzz will be approved for five passengers (three in the Cargo version) and will have a length of 4,712 millimeters. Despite being shorter than the thermal Transporter T6.1 (4,904 millimeters), its wheelbase will be practically identical (2,988 millimeters), which is why the electric model will enjoy similar roominess despite being shorter.
