The new VW ID Buzz LWB is a 7-seater electric Microbus!

This is our in-depth review of the VW ID Buzz LWB. We're taking a look at Exterior, Interior and the driving experience. The VW ID Buzz LWB (long wheel base) marks the return of the VW Microbus to the US market. It will also be available worldwide and is 25 cm or 10“ longer than the short wheel base version. It features 6 or 7 seats and is thus also one of the rare 7-seater EVs on the market. The interior is vegan / animal-free and made of recyclables.

I like the casual dressed Thomas! Seems like the color of the vehicle keeps playing tricks on the camera tint 😂

[slomojo]

You know that Thomas is dedicated. He even bruises himself for a full length video. Thanks again for a brilliant video and nice outfit. Always a pleasure to watch this channel.

[Naotaku]

I love the design. Ultra modern, but still faithful to the original. They somehow managed to capture the magic. I'm sure it'll be a success.

the things you do to bring us car reviews Thomas, Thank you.

[AdarshGupta-begf]

I honestly love your reviews. I even watch the ones about cars that I’m not the most interested in. Just as an automobile enthusiast. Your easy calm and detailed manner are very refreshing. I’m sure you’re very pleasant and positive company overall. I also tend to share your thoughts on design. I like the Bahaus / gestalt philosophy and being a lifelong design student, find myself gravitating towards the “less is more”, / delicate function and form waltz myself.
Best wishes.

[amirkurtovic]

As always, perfect review! Thank you Thomas.

[JoeJacksonGT]

Thomas taking one for the AF team! Great vid as usual. This bus has a lot of appeal for it's utilitarian approach. I wish other manufacturers put as much thought into their interiors as VW did here. I've been looking for an overlanding vehicle and while this would not work, it would be perfect to camp out in.

Hi Thomas & Team, I love your reviews very informative and professional. The ID Buzz looks great and I think it will be a big success especially now VW moving away from all the discrepancies of the past. Hope your knee is better and look forward to your next review.
Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul

Beautiful and superbly practical. But I fear the price will be prohibitive.

[bardzsz]

Waiting for the California version! Ideally I'd like more of a 500-600 km range, but well, 400 isn't that bad. I remember when these were teased a few years ago and VW were saying 800km range!! We all knew that wouldn't happen

[haentz]

So sad you still can't take out the second seat row. Would make this car so much more versatile (like hauling bicycles without removing wheels etc). Lets hope they add this in the future.

[alexkaka]

Thomas in my option has become one of the best YouTube presenters.

[hasky]

They should make the middle row removable too. Easier to add a removable bed then for weekends away ext, but with the option to put the seats back easily when needed.

[donswier]

Just when I thought my German brothers had lost the plot on how to appeal to us Americans, here is a homerun answer.😊👍
In the US, VW was seen as counter-culture in the 60s & 70s.
American cars had boastful names and boastful ads.
VW had names like Bug, Rabbit and "Thing", and the ads were self-deprecating.
This embrace of the pure "box" will be counter to the macho-man 4x4s and the blobby, swoopy CUVs that dominate the US market.
Truly counter-culture, these IMHO will rightly command high prices for setting a new trend.

[SFzip]

Risking life and limb to provide us viewers with this fantastic first look at this beautiful machine. Thank you! I hope your knee is recovering well now.

[eriii]

Incredible car, absolute dream for the family, glamping and all the windsurf equipment. But the second row being non-removeable is a dealbreaker.

[inflatable]

That outfit fits perfect with the vibe of the Buzz..👍

[JoniPulkkinen]

The Nordic market was really disappointed with the low powered cabin heater in the original European version. Same 6kW as in the smaller ID.4. I hope the new LWB version has fixed that.
