Volkswagen has introduced a long-wheelbase version of the ID. Buzz Cargo electric van, increasing its length by 250 millimeters. This update expands the cargo capacity to 4.4 cubic meters, which is 0.5 cubic meters more than the standard model. The vehicle now features a 2,458 mm long load floor and a second sliding door as standard, which is 190 mm wider to accommodate Euro pallets.
The LWB model is equipped with an 86 kWh battery. Customers can choose between a rear-wheel-drive variant with 286 horsepower or an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version producing 340 horsepower. The van is rated to tow up to 1,800 kg. Payload capacity varies by drivetrain, reaching 700 kg for the RWD model and 606 kg for the AWD configuration.
New technical features include a bidirectional charging system with a continuous output of 3 kW, an upgraded driver-assistance system capable of braking at traffic lights, and one-pedal driving. Volkswagen has also replaced touch-sensitive steering wheel controls with physical buttons.
