VW ID.Buzz

Have a look near the handle on the tailgate, it’ll be obvious if you have on or not. I’d suggest a retrofit if not as it’s a big bus not to have one. ICE in Ranelagh have a price of €1295 fitted on their website for a genuine camera but you may find a cheaper alternative. Ask your dealer as they usually have a local firm that do this type of work all the time.

Ya I keep getting ads on Instagram for it advertising from €55,000.

Its called a buzz cut

It should be on the left cluster of buttons on the wheel. It is Travel Assist. As far as I remember, it remembers your last setting. It is only strong lane assist when you have Travel Assist on. I find it quite mild otherwise.

It will start to sell when the lwb 7 seat 95kWh version arrives. The current 5 seat version is very niche model. Commercial EV’s haven’t really taken off yet due to weight limitations and a lack of government incentives or tax breaks.

A 7 seater buzz priced similarly to the current buzz would sell like hot cakes I reckon. That's not going to happen though and the 7 seater will probably start at like 75k. Way out of reach for most families looking at 7 seaters and the ones with 75k to spend will buy an Audi or Volvo.

The Irish public likes SUVs and it's not really an SUV. It's a van, or a bus at a stretch. It's very niche. My wife actually likes it and would prefer one over her ID4 but when it comes up in conversation, others cant see the appeal of owning one. It's expensive but also quite like the Beetle in that back then people just bought a Golf and now people will just buy an ID4 or another brand of van with adequate commercial space inside. I think VW missed a trick and should have invested in the ID6 and released that in Europe.

I could be wrong but I'd say it's unlikely such a third party step exists, perhaps when the Buzz goes on sale in the US someone over there will make one. Either way, I'd forget about it as an option and look at another car.
