Volkswagen launched the new ID. Buzz Cargo with a longer wheelbase, offering more space and updated software. Prices start at around $60,000, but a cheaper version will go on sale soon.
Volkswagen adds the longest ID. Buzz Cargo LWB
After Kia introduced the PV7, Volkswagen wasted no time adding a longer version of its electric work van.
While the standard ID. Buzz is for personal, everyday use, the Cargo version is designed for business. It is similar to the Kia PV5 Passenger and Cargo models.
Volkswagen launched the new ID. Buzz with long wheelbase (LWB) on Wednesday, adding a larger, roomier option to the lineup.
The LWB version measures 4,962 mm in length with a 3,239 mm wheelbase that extends the interior length by 250 mm compared to the standard ID. Buzz. Extended length adds an extra 0.5m3 of storage space in the cargo compartment.
To facilitate uploading and downloading, the longer ID. Buzz has a wooden floor and a second sliding door as standard.
The door is also 19 cm wider, so a euro pallet now fits through the side. Buyers can opt for optional rear doors.
Depending on the configuration, the maximum payload is up to 700 kg for the rear-wheel drive (RWD) model and 606 kg for the all-wheel drive (AWD) version. Like the standard model, the ID. Buzz LWB is available with two or three seats.
The longest ID. Buzz uses an 86 kWh battery, which is expected to provide a WLTP range of nearly 300 miles. The standard version has a 79 kWh battery, providing up to 277 miles of range.
With 4MOTION all-wheel drive, the ID. Buzz Cargo LWB offers up to 250 kW (335 hp) combined with 4MOTION. That’s more than the 210 kW (281 hp) of the standard version.
Like any new ID. On the Buzz models, the longer Cargo variant will be equipped with the latest Volkswagen ID. software, including optional Travel Assist and one-pedal driving.
The new software also introduces vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities for the ID. Buzz Cargo, allowing it to be used as a mobile power source.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles opened pre-orders for the new ID. Buzz Cargo LWB with 250 kW and 4MOTION AWD on Wednesday, September 23, starting at €50,630, or about $58,000.
The RWD model will go on sale next week starting at 48,490 euros ($55,000). In the UK, orders will open in early 2027 with the official launch planned for spring.
