Volkswagen (VW) is set to make a grand entrance with its highly anticipated long-wheelbase model of the ID. Buzz, specifically designed for the North American market. The official unveiling is scheduled for June 2, and as a final teaser, the company has released an image showcasing the vehicle’s front.
While the teaser doesn’t reveal much, it confirms that the design remains similar to the existing ID. Buzz model with a slightly shorter wheelbase, which has already been launched in other regions. This aligns with the rumors circulating about the extended wheelbase version. Essentially, it is expected to resemble the shorter-wheelbase ID. Buzz, but with the notable addition of a longer wheelbase, estimated to be around 25 centimeters (almost 10 inches) longer. Notably, the middle-row seats will have the ability to swivel, and the North American variant will feature a significantly larger sliding door to ensure easy access to the third-row seats.
Speculation suggests that the long-wheelbase ID. Buzz may accommodate a larger battery than its shorter counterpart, which currently houses an 82 kWh unit. However, no official information has been disclosed regarding this aspect. Additionally, there is a possibility of increased power output, although details on this remain scarce. Fortunately, the wait for answers is almost over, as the official unveiling is just four days away.
The grand debut of the long-wheelbase ID. Buzz is set to take place in Huntington Beach, California, on June 2, at 11 AM EST. The launch event will be livestreamed on YouTube, allowing enthusiasts to follow the unveiling in real time. The vehicle is expected to be available for purchase in North America starting next year.
With the final teaser image providing a glimpse of what’s to come, excitement is building as Volkswagen prepares to introduce the extended wheelbase variant of its highly popular ID. Buzz electric vehicle to the North American market.
