The size of the side window gradually shrinks from the front row to the back, forming a different visual style. At the same time, as a MPV model, ID. Buzz uses a side sliding door design, which is different from the Volkswagen T1 opposite rear door, in which the passenger version is a double sliding door and the freight version is an one-sided sliding door.

The rear part of the car is relatively square, which forms a strong contrast with the curved front, which maximizes the utilization of internal space. At the same time, it uses through-type taillights, and the huge Volkswagen LOGO is marked with ID. Buzz. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4712mm/1985mm/1937mm and the wheelbase is 2988mm.

In terms of interior decoration, ID. Buzz and Volkswagen ID.

Among them, ID. Buzz passenger version uses white and orange two-color matching, the two front seats are designed with independent armrests, but there is storage space between the two front seats, not with the back row through design.

From the perspective of the domestic MPV market, at present, only some car companies distribute pure electric MPV, including SAIC Chase MAXUS MIFA 9, Lantu Dreamer, and polar krypton new energy MPV, etc., but compared with the above models, Volkswagen ID. Buzz has certain characteristics in appearance, even different from the traditional MOV. However, some netizens think that it is really cute in terms of appearance, but what does it want to be cute as a MPV? But also pure electric drive, mileage anxiety is also there, who will buy it?
