Volkswagen Launches Long‑Wheelbase ID. Buzz Cargo

Pre-sales begin with the LWB model adding an 86 kWh battery and 25 cm more wheelbase to boost range and enable side-loading of a Europallet for commercial fleets.

Overview

  • Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge opened pre-sales for the long‑wheelbase ID. Buzz Cargo on Wednesday, with the 250 kW all‑wheel‑drive version orderable now and the 210 kW rear‑wheel version following next week.
  • The LWB uses an 86 kWh usable battery (up from 79 kWh) and a wheelbase stretched by 250 mm to 3.25 m, increasing load length to about 2.458 m and cargo volume from 3.9 to 4.4 m³.
  • Power and load figures are the 210 kW rear‑drive and 250 kW two‑motor 4MOTION variants, payload up to 700 kg for the single‑motor model and up to 606 kg for AWD, and a braked towing capacity of 1,800 kg.
  • Pricing for Germany starts at €50,630 net for the AWD and €48,490 net for the RWD LWB, reflecting roughly a €2,340 net premium over the standard Cargo, with deliveries to follow after orders open.
  • The launch bundles practical changes for fleets—wider sliding door to accept a Europallet, standard wooden floor and optional tailgate or wing doors—plus software additions such as Innovision infotainment, Travel Assist that reacts to traffic lights, One‑Pedal Driving and Vehicle‑to‑Load output for on‑site power.
