Alternative Models
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX has a maximum power of 250 kW (340 hp / 335 bhp) and a total torque of 560 Nm (413 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 91.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 86.0 kWh, with a 5.0 kWh buffer (5.5%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 350 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 400 km (249 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 21.5 kWh/100 km (2.9 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 200 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 57 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 33 minutes at an average power of 109 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 0–42%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 112 kW over a session lasting about 19 minutes and 24 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 28 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 5 minutes, needing six charging stops from 0% to 38%, totaling 106 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 49 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX has a rear-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the rear axle.
The motor used is Induction Motor.
Suspension
The suspension system features a MacPherson strut front construction and a multi-link rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are monotube dampers. The front and rear springs are coil springs.
Steering
Progressive steering is optional on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.
Drive Modes
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 4 modes:
- Sport: Dynamic steering, throttle, and suspension damping.
- Eco: Balanced steering and suspension damping, with efficient throttle.
- Comfort: Balanced steering, comfort suspension damping, and balanced throttle.
- Individual: Custom steering, suspension damping, and throttle.
Brakes
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX uses disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. Rear drum brakes require little maintenance and pair well with regenerative braking, which handles most deceleration.
The front discs are 358 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
If you lift away the foot completely the regen is at one fixed level. This can't be adjusted.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 150 kW.
Exterior
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX is available in 12 paint colors, including solid, metallic, and pearlescent options.
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX offers multiple wheel options in different sizes. The available tire and wheel combinations include:
