ID.Buzz Info

Thanks to its instant torque, the ID. Buzz can call on its 282 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque the moment you hit the pedal. Needless to say, it’s a little quicker than your grandfather’s Type 2. With available 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive, output jumps to 335 horsepower with 413 lb-ft of torque, and the ID. Buzz can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds.* *Please drive safely and obey all traffic laws, including speed limits

With a range of up to 377 km on a single charge*, your ID. Buzz will always be ready to take you on your next adventure. No matter where that is. *Estimated combined range determined using Natural Resources Canada’s approved test methods, with a fully charged battery. Refer to vehicles.nrcan.gc.ca for details. Different vehicle configurations will have different ranges. Actual driving range will vary based on driving and charging habits, weather and temperature, terrain, use of HVAC and accessories, battery age and vehicle condition.

Just because the ID. Buzz has chill vibes doesn’t mean it’s not hard at work behind the scenes. The ID. Buzz converts braking energy into useful battery power. So whenever you brake or take your foot off the pedal, that kinetic energy is stored for later.

A standard heat pump helps ensure energy-efficient interior heating. And that takes less power from the battery. The benefit? Greater range in cold weather. Happy exploring.

Not only does the ID. Buzz feature the iconic sliding doors of its predecessors, but opening and closing them is as easy as kicking your foot under the door. That’s helpful for all the times your hands are full.

Hands are full? Not a problem. Just kick your foot under the bumper and the trunk will open right up. And once you’re done, another kick will close it.

With its available panoramic glass roof, your ID. Buzz can always have a beautiful light-filled interior while offering a generous view of the outside world. Feel like more privacy? Simply use the touch slider, or your vehicle’s voice assistant to turn the panoramic glass roof from clear to opaque in an instant. Just like magic. This also gives you added UV ray and heat protection.

With a nifty Head-Up Display, information such as speed, navigation, warnings, and more are displayed directly on your windshield – so you never have to take your eyes off the road. Talk about convenient.

The ID. Buzz comes with a 12.9” infotainment screen. Use it to set your vehicle preferences, set your vehicle’s climate, put on some sweet tunes, and everything in-between. Plus, with a range of customization options, you can tailor the display to your taste. *Please do not drive distracted.

The ID. Buzz puts in a lot of work to keep you feeling comfortable. The three-zone automatic climate control allows people in the driver’s seat, the front passenger seat, and the back two rows to set the temperature to just how they like it. Plus, not only are the front row seats heated, but so are the window seats in the second row. Put that together with the roominess of the third row, and you and every passenger in the ID. Buzz are in for one comfy ride.

Charging your EV is as easy as plug and play—but here’s a few more tips to help you get the most out of your charging.

• You can use the “scheduled charging” function to set up your vehicle to automatically charge at certain times of the day. This is especially handy for setting up overnight charging during off-peak electricity hours.
• Once you’ve programmed “scheduled charging”, you can conveniently set it and forget it, knowing that your vehicle will always be charged in the morning.
• Aim for charging up to 80% instead of 100% full. With the lithium-ion batteries in Evs, charging to 80% helps to maintain your battery’s max capacity more than a full charge
• Start recharging your EV when it hits 30% instead of 0%. Letting your EV battery fall completely to 0% before recharging will eventually reduce your EV’s overall battery life.
• While great for recharging quickly on long journeys, DC fast chargers are not recommended for daily use. Like a laptop or cellphone, battery capacity can slowly deteriorate over time with each charge, and DC fast chargers can increase the speed of deterioration if overused. For regular charging, we recommend Level 2 chargers.

There’s no place like home, especially when it comes to charging your EV. The time it takes to fully charge your vehicle at home can differ depending on your setup, so it’s good to know the options.

Level 1 Home Charging

Level 1 charging is simply done via the cable provided with your vehicle and a regular 120v outlet - no different than charging your phone, really. This will add around 5km of range for every hour it’s charging, reaching a full charge after about 83 hours*. That’s the slow option - for faster and more efficient home charging, you can upgrade to a Level 2 charger.

*Estimated charging times are provided as a reference only. Charging times will vary and depend on a variety of factors, including battery state of charge, driving behaviour, battery condition, current, resistance, ambient temperature, available voltage and charging frequency

Level 2 Home Charging

Many Canadians purchase a Level 2 240v home charging station for their garage. It requires a 240v outlet, similar to one used for a washer or dryer, and VW dealerships can connect you with local electricians for quick and easy home installation. The Level 2 charger can charge your VW from 0%-100% in as little as 6 hours and 15 minutes, which is up to 58 km of range per hour*, so you and your vehicle can wake up ready to go in the morning.
