Volkswagen ID. Buzz MPV

With price tags on the upcoming RWD options of around £57,000 - £63,000, this is not going to be a cheap EV for the family. Indications are that a leasing deal will be around £550 to £750 per month, model, specification and contract dependent. With economies of scale, and an availability of parts / microchips, this may come down in price toward 2023 / 2024.

The automotive review websites and media have been slow to rate this new MPV, with only Electrifying scoring it so far at 9/10. With only the 2WD 5-seat option available at launch, information has been somewhat restricted and limited. CarWow have stated “name a cooler EV than the ID.Buzz” and Top Gear have said “Why it’s our electric car of the year”. So, some all-round impressive verbal feedback for this unique electric offering

It’s very easy to fall for the fancy gimmicks and novel styling of this car – this really has the makings of being one of the most unique and iconic EVs in the market. But suitability for any electric car or van is more than just style, appearance or technology. This is where our unique and industry leading “living with your …” tools become invaluable. Ascertaining the range of the EV, the speed of charge, the cost of a full charge, your company car tax exposure or Whole of Life cost are all possible on the e-car lease website. And our team can further assist you with charge point infrastructure and motor insurance too

While the e-car lease website will have a number of offers and deals on the ID.Buzz, we understand that many personal and business customers will utilise leasing comparison websites like AutoLeaseCompare, CarWow, LeaseFetcher or LeaseLoco. You may even see some of the best e-car lease deals here. It may also be worthwhile visiting your local VW retailer for a test-drive and to receive a hire purchase or personal contract purchase quotation. Should I lease or buy the ID.Buzz?

At the time of writing (July 2022) the cheapest option to lease will be the ID.BUZZ ESTATE 150kW Life Pro 77kWh 5dr Auto. This will still be a £57,000+ vehicle as standard.

In terms of range, this BEV will operate in conjunction with the driver style, behaviour and weather. There is never a “one range” for an electric vehicle, as there are a number of facets which can influence your electric performance. In terms of colder weather, expect a motorway journey to deliver 145 miles and city-driving to offer 210 miles on a 100% charge. In warmer climates, this improves to 180 miles on a motorway and 295 miles in urban conditions.
