Overview
- Volkswagen this week published full technical specs and German pre‑sale prices for the long‑wheelbase (LWB) ID. Buzz Cargo, with orders open in Germany and UK availability expected next year.
- The LWB stretches the wheelbase from 3,000mm to 3,250mm and increases overall length to 4,960mm, adding 250mm of load area and lifting cargo volume to 4.4 m³.
- Volkswagen offers the LWB exclusively with an 86 kWh battery and two drivetrains: rear‑drive single motor and a more powerful dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive setup, with published range and 200 kW DC charging figures.
- Practical upgrades target trades and fleets: a 190mm longer sliding door that allows sideways Euro‑pallet loading, a 2,458mm usable load length, payloads up to 700 kg (RWD) and 606 kg (AWD), and 1,800 kg braked towing.
- The LWB also receives Volkswagen’s software and safety refresh including the updated Innovision infotainment, Travel Assist that can stop at traffic lights, one‑pedal full stop and vehicle‑to‑load power output for tools and equipment.
