In North America in the 1960s and 1970s, there must be a Volkswagen T-Series van that appeared in the memory of the times, along with hippie culture, sexual liberation movement, anti-Vietnam War march, and desegregation.
From Volkswagen T1 to Volkswagen T2, this small van from Volkswagen brand has become a representative of the culture of this period.
A few years ago, the Volkswagen T2, which had been produced for more than half a century, was officially discontinued in South America. Immediately, this retro old antique van set off a craze in the domestic automotive culture circle.
After more than half a century, Volkswagen once again brought the culture of vans back to the public's vision.
Recently, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Department officially released two mass-produced versions of IDs. Buzz. The new car will be launched on the market as a new electrification solution provided by Volkswagen for the commercial vehicle field.
No matter what, the taste of Volkswagen small bread back then was indeed back on this ID. Buzz.
Depending on the positioning, the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz provides a blind window freight logistics version and an ordinary van passenger car version, which is very consistent with the product positioning of European vans.
Overall, whether it is the freight version of blind windows or the ordinary passenger version, the brand new Volkswagen ID. Buzz is a practice that uses modern design techniques and retro techniques to fully express the design concepts of fashion and technology under the styling language of Volkswagen T1.
In terms of overall image, Volkswagen ID. Buzz has a very good sense of concept car, but this is already a mass-produced car to be put on the market.
In terms of proportion, the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz continues the standard single-box design, by moving the A column forward, thus forming a double A column design, extending the length of the roof as much as possible, and forming a short-head design with the short front. The characteristics of the roof of
also form a hat-brim-like image through special color matching.
In the underside of the car body, the advantages of the electric vehicle platform allow Volkswagen ID. Buzz can easily build a short front overhang image, thus infinitely close to the Volkswagen T1 with the rear-wheel drive sixty years ago in proportion.
combined with the short front design creates a pure sense of déjà vu. With the four-wheel and four-corner design, the wheelbase of the Volkswagen ID. Buzz reaches 2988 mm and the body length is 4712 mm.
In terms of details, because electric cars have no engine air intake demand, ID. Buzz's front face also fully meets the design of Volkswagen T1 at that time, using a large-size Volkswagen logo as the visual main body of the front of the car, forming a connection relationship with the LED headlights on both sides.
Through the clever color separation design, the part of the carriage and the mechanical part installed under the body are visually separated, and the color separation lines are cleverly integrated into the side window slide rails. The rear design of
also weakens the visual proportion of the taillights in the overall range as much as possible, and takes the Volkswagen logo and flat curved surface as the overall visual focus.
Inside the vehicle, thanks to the dual A-pillar design, the front view of Volkswagen ID. Buzz is quite transparent. The A-pillar is far away from the driver's field of view, and the straight roof also greatly improves its space utilization. The design of the
dashboard adopts the most typical straightening treatment method for commercial vehicles, reducing the invasion of the internal space by the dashboard body as much as possible.
multimedia display area is efficiently integrated into a suspended LCD display. After the sub-dashboard is gone, the front and rear spaces of Volkswagen ID. Buzz have also been fully integrated.
It is worth mentioning that as a commercial vehicle and a new car that replicates the essence of T1 design, the steering wheel inclination of Volkswagen ID. Buzz has also been increased, which makes the driving experience of the whole vehicle closer to the T1 before.
Depending on the positioning, the passenger version of Volkswagen ID. Buzz will also provide more diverse color options in the interior, making the interior more lively and personal.
Due to size limitations, the passenger version of Volkswagen ID. Buzz only provides a two-row seat layout, and the second row of seats uses an integral seat like T1.
However, thanks to the large space utilization rate of the van, the trunk space of Volkswagen ID. Buzz can reach 1121L under normal circumstances, and after the rear seats are folded down, it can reach 2205L.
and the front seats can provide a two- or three-seat layout according to customer needs. The blind window freight version of the vehicle provides a fixed partition behind the first row of seats, and the rear loading space can reach 3.9 cubic meters.
With a not-too-large body size, Volkswagen ID. Buzz has indeed maximized the utilization rate of space volume.
Since Volkswagen released the ID series electric cars, whether it is Volkswagen ID.3 or Volkswagen ID.6, Volkswagen series electric cars have the feeling of not being able to deviate from traditional fuel vehicles in their design.
This time the Volkswagen ID. Buzz's appearance can completely leave this doubt behind.
Volkswagen ID. Buzz is not only unique as a commercial vehicle, but also unique even as a vehicle for personal commuting. This is very similar to the Volkswagen T1 that appeared with the hippies sixty years ago.
In terms of power, Volkswagen ID. Buzz is equipped with a 150-kilowatt electric motor. Like the Volkswagen T1, this motor is also placed on the rear axle in a flat manner.
battery capacity is 77 kWh, and there is also an 82 kWh version. The battery is located in the mezzanine in the middle of the floor, thereby reducing the center of gravity of the entire vehicle.
In Europe, Volkswagen ID. Buzz can charge the battery from 5% to 80% in 30 minutes using DC fast charging, and can also support slow charging for home use. However, there is no specific information on the range.
In terms of safety configuration, Volkswagen ID. Buzz comes standard with automatic emergency braking system, lane keeping system and other active safety configurations.
In addition, the new assisted driving technology is also used on Volkswagen ID. Buzz. According to official information from Volkswagen, Volkswagen ID. Buzz can realize the automatic lane change function on the highway.
Now, the sense of technology and fashion are also presented on Volkswagen ID. Buzz.
Volkswagen's operation, using a future-oriented positioning of new energy power, combines the attributes of commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles.
You say it is a commercial vehicle, but it is full of personalized lifestyle. It is a personalized fun car, and it has many diverse demands for commercial vehicles.
This feeling is really an inexplicable coordination, but the question is, will ID. Buzz be produced domestically and when will it be produced domestically?
