Since more and more male friends around me used purple and pink iPhone , I realized that there was a princess living in every macho man's heart. If you are full of blood and full of contempt for this, it only means that the princess in your heart has not seen her dream castle yet, so she has been sleeping deeply and has not woken up. Fortunately, a few days ago, the arrival of a new car once again awakened a large number of sleeping "princesses".
In 1950, Volkswagen launched the minibus T1 model, which instantly became popular alleys and successfully led the style of small buses in the next few decades. Although T1 ended up with a suspension of production, it has also become another classic work in Volkswagen Group after Beetle . When the new generation of car fans grow up, they will occasionally remember the stories left by T1.
On March 10, 2022, Volkswagen officially released the new pure electric MPV model, and named it ID.Buzz. If the retro appearance is a tribute to the glorious classic of the T1, then it is as colorful as the body color scheme that only dares to use in a cartoon is the last straw that overwhelms the man's iron-blooded tenderness.
is the same as Volkswagen's existing ID. series models, ID.Buzz is still built on the Volkswagen MEB platform. In addition to the regular 5-seat MPV, there is also a single-row ID.Buzz Cargo enclosed truck. From another perspective, this is probably the cutest MPV and van in the world.
Putting aside the shadow of T1, ID.Buzz still has a strong family style. The closed front face and through-type light strips give the new car an unparalleled sense of fashion, and the concave and convex layering on the front of the car seems to turn the new car into an animated character who can laugh.
ID.Buzz's length, width and height are 4712mm/1985mm/1937mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2988mm. The extremely short front, square contour, suspended roof, and two-color splicing make ID.Buzz not only have the charm that MPV should have, but also has a bit of youthful attributes. Of course, the emergence of the double-sided electric sliding door configuration truly gives ID.Buzz its vitality. What is most popular is the triangle glass window set up by A column , which reduces blind spots in sight and improves the safety and convenience of vehicle driving. Only veteran drivers will understand this.
came to the rear of the car, and the through-type light strip is paired with the quaint tail shape, which makes people feel that this bad design looks vulgar. At the same time, the huge Volkswagen logo and the ID.Buzz logo below further enhance the recognition of the new car. Finally, let me mention that the charging interface of ID.Buzz is located on the right rear side of the vehicle. After all, the car has a long wheelbase that is not suitable for placing the charging port on the front of the vehicle, and the second is that the front face is so playful and cute, the designer must not be able to destroy it.
In terms of interior, both the layout and style are ID. Family-style design, small LCD instrument + large suspended central control screen is paired with wood grain decorative panels of different colors, and the layering is instantly reflected. The front seats not only support electric adjustment, seat memory and electric leg support, but also have embroidery with ID logo and independent handrails. The latter is rare in today's MPV models, and in exchange for the traditional handrail box has been transformed into an open storage tank, which further improves the practicality of the car.
Because it is a 5-seat model, the configuration of the second row of independent seats will naturally not appear. Fortunately, from the picture, the space in the second row is very abundant, and the left and right seats are also equipped with certain depressions to increase wrapping. In addition, the front backrest can provide small table panels, and the doors on both sides also have rich storage slots, which is very friendly to users who like family travel or daily caregivers.
Another advantage of not setting the third row seats is that it can obtain a large storage space. According to the official statement, ID.Buzz has a trunk volume of 1121L in normal state. Although the second row of seats that support 4/6 proportion adjustment cannot form a pure flat space after being folded down, fortunately the floor is low enough and the space can be expanded to 2205L.
It is no exaggeration to say that ID.Buzz itself looks like a car from a science fiction movie, so it will naturally not shrink in terms of technological configuration. The new car will be equipped with a Car2X local traffic warning system, which can grasp road conditions information in real time through signals shared by other vehicles and traffic facilities. Functions such as full-speed driving assistance, automatic highway lane change assistance, memory parking, automatic parking, pre-collision safety system, lane keeping system, etc. will also be assembled to varying degrees according to different configurations.
Regarding power, ID.Buzz will be equipped with a 77kWh power battery pack, the maximum power of the rear-drive motor is 150kW (201Ps), the peak torque is 310N·m, and the maximum speed is 145km/h. The official data on battery life has not yet been announced, but it is reported that the range is expected to be close to 700km, which is very excellent. In addition, the DC fast charging power of the new car can reach 170kW, and it only takes 30 minutes to charge 5%-80%, and supports two-way charging.
I believe everyone understands this. The group targeted by ID.Buzz is by no means business people, but a family-centered consumer group. Overall, ID.Buzz is still amazing in all aspects, but of course it is that you can really accept its maverickness and have the ability to convince your family to abandon all the traditional concepts of a MPV.
To this day, there are still very few pure electric MPVs on the market. Since ID.4 has not allowed Volkswagen to leap into the earliest blue ocean of electric cars in China, perhaps ID.Buzz still has the opportunity to become the leader in this segment. After all, we can still afford the ID. series of cars. Nothing else, at least those who shout "feelings first" and "must buy introductory", there is no reason to put pigeons again this time, right?
