HUNTINGTON BEACH, California -- Volkswagen will add a long-wheelbase three-row version of the ID Buzz full-electric van to its European and North American lineups in 2024.
The retro-styled ID Buzz, based on the VW Group’s MEB platform, debuted in Europe last year in passenger and commercial versions.
Buyers will have a choice of a rear-mounted, rear-wheel drive electric motor with an output of 210 kilowatts (286 hp) or an all-wheel-drive GTX version with 330 hp and two motors. European versions now have a 150 kW motor.
Battery size will increase to 85 kilowatt-hours from 77 kWh (both figures are usable battery size). VW says range will be about 415 km (260 miles) for the single motor version and slightly less for the two-motor one.
