The ID. Buzz Cargo offers up to 425km on a single charge (WLTP ). Three seats up front and a fixed partition separating occupants from the 3.9 m3 cargo space are among the distinctive features of this zero emissions van. Despite compact dimensions, it remains a viable option for small and medium-sized businesses as it is capable of carrying two Euro pallets in the back.
According to independent safety watchdog Euro NCAP, the ID. Buzz Cargo has a 'Platinum' safety rating. It has a Blind Spot Assist system on board, and, thanks to a camera system and digital mapping, the vehicle reacts to oncoming traffic when turning and dynamically adapts its speed when driving. Overall, the ID. Buzz Cargo achieved a score of 83 per cent in the Safety Assist category thanks to its camera and radar systems.
Built in Hannover, Germany, the ID. Buzz Cargo is offered as standard with three seats in the cab: the driver’s seat plus a double bench seat. If desired, buyers can specify a single seat for the front-seat passenger. Behind the seats, a fixed partition separating the passenger space from the cargo bay. This partition is optionally available with a window and/or an opening through which items can be loaded.
The ID. Buzz Cargo is fitted with a wide-opening rear hatch and a sliding door on the passenger side. The van is optionally available with an additional sliding door on the driver’s side and with rear wing doors.
The ID. Buzz Cargo has up to five USB-C ports, four of which use the latest USB Power Delivery (USB-PD ) charging standard. Depending on the device connected, they give a power output of up to 45 watts, enabling occupants to charge laptops, tablets, game consoles and phones three times as quickly as using conventional USB-C ports. Larger electrical items can be charged using an optional 230-volt socket housed within the frame of the front-passenger seat.
