The Euro version offers bi-directional charging and a charge rate up to 170 kW. In the European two-row version with a smaller battery, a single charge can yield up to 250 miles. The Buzz is fully electric with the same battery platform as the upcoming ID.7 electric sedan with an estimated range of 263 miles for the single motors and 252 for the AWD Dual. Things have changed in the past few decades as cars and their crash structures have grown. The 20-inch wheels are 4 inches larger in diameter than the 1950 Type 2’s. Buzz will probably be the fastest factory-issue Volkswagen van ever built. The original Type 2 started with barely 25 hp and eventually got 70 hp, while the 1980s-era Vanagon never reached more than about 112. The bigger battery, enabled by the longer wheelbase, helps the rear motor make 81 more horsepower than the rear-drive European model (282 hp to Europe’s 201), but any ID.Buzz is a rocketship compared to the original Bus and many of its successors.
But on corners and at speed the new, bigger van should feel much more stable with the heavy battery and powertrain grounding it. It’s monstrous compared to its original inspiration: The original Type 2 van was the length of a 2019 VW Beetle. MicrobusĬompared to its European counterpart, the boxy Buzz is almost 10 inches longer with a 127.5-inch wheelbase (117.6 for the Euro version). Buzz’s details are all modern, including these massive aero-optimized wheels. Buzz self-consciously draws on the Type 2 van for inspiration, but it also draws on the company’s more modern, European-market Transporter vans. model can now get to an electronically-limited 99 mph compared to the Euro Buzz’s 90 mph. The rear-mounted motor has a torque of 406 pound-feet and a one-speed transmission and new inverter. The electric version of the Microbus for North America has a 91 kWh battery (up from 82 kWh in Europe) and two configurations, a single-motor rear-drive version with 282 horsepower and an optional 330-hp dual motor all-wheel drive (AWD) setup. He said he’s still looking to add a 1950 Type 2 bus. Comedian and VW van collector Gabriel Iglesias had some of his collection lined up at the beach. Hundreds of classic VW buses from Type 1, Type 2, Cab Pickup, Vanagon and Westfalia owners from all over were on display at the premiere event. The world premiere took place in Huntington Beach, California-a surfer hot spot known for vans parked at the beach-and streamed online.
