I think you're right about to much power for this kind of car. It's more like a proof of concept. Even the first Buzz with the ID3 201HP motor was fast enough for a bus. But now with the new motor with 280hp it'll really be more then enough to accelerate unexpectedly fast in traffic for others.
I've had a T5 with 130hp manual and it took like 14s to 100km/h ? This is just crazy fast.
We have an ID3 and AWD Ioniq 5 and couldn't be happier. Thanks for your balances reviews
I hope the next-gen LFP batteries find this van quickly. Not interested in NMC anymore. BYD can already have 87kWh of first-gen Blade battery in Seal U. Would like to see it here. Also I have no idea what's so difficult to make camp mode for a car made for camping
Looks great.
Is there a box set of episodes?: Complete Nobby on Cars? something like that?
Great review, much better layout for 7 seats than an electric SUV, the price will kill it's appeal, one fir the Jones. Is this a commercial vehicle with all that weight plus passengers.
I must be getting old
The twin turbo supra had 320bhp
Now a 7 seater vw ev people carrier has more😮
Now that’s a car…. 😎
0-100? 7sec?
I heard that VW is going to introduce a 53-ish kWh battery. I'm not convinced it'll come soon enough.
Sure if VW can make a faithful and affordable ID BUZZ like its Type2 sake, they would improve efficiency and overlap the prices with the ID4.
VW should offer a 2+1 front bench and a 3rd row for the Short Wheel Base.
If they can't do that bare minimum then I'm absolutely bored with VW. 7 years since the BUZZ concept and for what? A wealthy family's/boss' statement piece?
53-ish kWh?...you would likely pull that Airstream about 40 miles I'm thinking.
7:38 I think that's an Ice scraper and I think the other one was a bottle opener
it is!
I dont agree... same way you can challenge any kind of Range Rover or BMW X5M. with more and more EVs on the market sub 10sec 0-60 is fairly normal. And don't forget that this still can be a daily and bring some pleasure from driving. Also.. this 0-60 was measured with only driver on board and no luggage. add, seven people and a trailer and it will be different ;)
true true
You got the towing capacities wrong.
The GTX is the version that Can pull the most.
The GTX can pull 1800 kg
The LWB pull 1600, GTX or otherwise. Normal wheelbase is 1800.
@@NobbyOnCars You're wrong. Short wheel base GTX is 1800, LWB GTX 1600, non-GTX 1000 kg according to spec sheet. However, there are rumours that it will change once approved.
I'd normally agree about the power in this EV but isn't it required for those people with loads of people and stuff onboard and pulling the caravan? Otherwise, they'd get stuck at 10 mph driving up the hilly roads in places like Wales.
That’s true I guess
I like the car, quite a lot. A few things are not perfect like the interior seats being less practical than in the Multivan. However 87kwh in this size of a vehicle!? Really pathetic effort and makes it obsolete before it hits the market, VW really don’t learn from their mistakes 😒
My ID buzz has 77KWh and it’s fine, does everything we need it to do, including taking us to the Alps ( from London) at Easter.
@@michaelridler5119 sure, I am aware it is possible, I have made many a long jurney with standard range teslas, my argument is it does not make it a compelling product at that price point. If you travel at 135kph in the French autorute in winter with a fully loaded car (as I suppose you do) you are stopping every 200km or 1.5 h driving, that just doesn’t cut it in this day and age and at that price… in a car made for long road trips… terrible imho
This kind of car must offer big battery, long range, comfort and maybe quick charge. You will not do drags with a van. So it's kind of useless to have so many bhp.
You can use it...but there is no must. Usually you use only a little bit of the engines power...not comparable to an ICE...forget what you have learned.
The power is not the same like for ICEs...you get it easily by any electric engine and power of the battery.
AND...if you limit the power...you limit the power of the regen, too.
@@josefv8708 That was not the point. It costs to put more BHP and they are not required for such a car. Of course you can use them or not, but better invest in battery pack and other features than to make a hot wheels van.
After all this innovation and still doesn't come close to the Japanese Alphards
Still too expensive.
So what’s more eco friendly than the Buzz? My 2003 Nissan Elgrand which, after all those years, is still going strong, was MUCH cheaper, seats 8, and has much more space than the VW. Would like to see what happened to this Buzz after 21 years!
How many 2003 VWs do you see left on the road? ...
The fact that VW doesn't offer the BUZZ with its commercial's 2+1 front bench or a 3rd row.in short wheel base form just shows how little VW are trying.
It's not the fault of being an EV. It's a fault of excess and profit gouging a retro icon
Much like the NewBeetle
Plenty
@@NobbyOnCars how many electric vehicles will be around when they’re 20 odd .
Well we haven't got to that level of time yet but I'm not seeing the same level of doom as yourself.
Oh yeahhh, with a sub 300 km true range ??? Who cares...
Thanks for your input…..
It says it’s got a 400km range.
Agree with the speed being unnecessary. 4wd with a reduced power and an increase efficiency would be better.
The motors wont be more efficient with less power.. Aerodynamics, overall vehicle efficiency and battery capacity is what matters
Increased efficiency is always better, but has nothing to do with the power of the engine. Can be seen here, too...the new APP550 with 286hp is more efficent than the old one with only 204hp.
Teslas are the most efficient and have a lot of power...
All you have learned for ICEs...forget about it, since an electric engine just delivers very low power and has low consumption, if you do not ask for more.
AND...if the engine is weak, you are limited in regen, too.
A Taycan for example can regen at 400kw, due to the strong motor, and in most cases it needs no friction brakes at all.
It should be a real engine in this
A crappy VW diesel that they cheated the emissions testing with you mean?….
There is a real engine...it is called electric engine, which is much more efficient, than pounding pistons.
Buy a Multivan instead, if you need an ICE Car...
😮 looks stupid
Have you seen electric car sales figures, reached a plateau at best . Electric is not, and can never be the answer.
Have you seen all the misinformation I wonder why. I don't even drive an ev and I can see it.
2024 has been the second strongest year of EV sales in Ireland, that’s all I know.
I have a ID buzz 1st edition, it’s great! 250mile range is fine. We drove it from London to the Alps at Easter and it was fine.
Nope!😂
Just wait the oil run out… fo you take a bisycle or Horse or EV…
Hmmm…
VW is seriously shoving the Buzz and MEB platform in the wrong trajectory.
Have the Halo car/bus, it's hot sure 🥱. But the explicit lack of focus on accessibility and good value affordability will be VW's downfall especially with Chinese EVs.
I'd honestly say the same thing with Toyota's newest Prius.
If BYD would bring something similar 30% cheaper with Blade 2.0, it could be game over. What amaze me, is German manufacturers are still offering 2 years warranty on cars. I have more on a dishwasher. My Toyota has 10 year limited warranty from service to service
@timogronroos4642 you get an 8 year warranty on the battery on these.
