At today's annual media conference, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is presenting the world premiere of the new ID. Buzz GTX1 with an output of 250 kW (340 PS). 'The most powerful Bulli of all time, with two wheelbases and two battery sizes, available as a 5-, 6- or 7-seater, plus the standard all-wheel drive – for optimum pulling power and traction in every driving situation. It should really be called the ID. Buzz GTXXL! This means 2024 is getting off to a really good start,' says Lars Krause, member of the Board of Management responsible for Sales and Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The ID. Buzz GTX has a new 79kWh battery (net) on board in the version with standard wheelbase. The version with extended wheelbase (plus 250 mm) is always powered by an also new 86 kWh (net) battery. Both GTX models1 come with 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard and can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds (forecast). Pre sales for the ID. Buzz GTX will start in the summer.
Product offensive: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is launching a host of new models in 2024. At the annual media conference in Hanover, Lars Krause said: 'First, there is the New California2 with an incredible number of fans! I've been looking forward to the world premiere this summer ever since we unveiled the concept car last year. Second, we have the new Transporter2, which is the successor to the legendary T6.1. But today it's all about a whole other ballgame. Namely, this fantastic vehicle: the new ID. Buzz GTX.'
Electric all-wheel drive: The new ID. Buzz GTX is equipped with two electric drive motors. 80 kW motor drives the front axle, while a 210 kW motor powers the rear axle – together they form the all-wheel drive. The top speed of the GTX models is electronically limited to 160 km/h. The electric drive motors in the ID. Buzz GTX are supplied with energy by means of a 79 kWh or 86 kWh battery. The 79 kWh battery can be charged at DC quick-charging stations with up to 185 kW3. At maximum charging capacity, it is charged from 10 to 80 per cent again in approx. 26 minutes; the 86-kWh battery absorbs energy with up to 200 kW3 at DC quick-charging stations. It is also charged from 10 to 80 per cent in about 26 minutes at maximum charging capacity.
GTX towing capacity: Thanks to an extra 100 kW (136 PS) of power and the 4MOTION drive system, the ID. Buzz GTX offers a higher maximum trailer weight: the version with normal wheelbase can effortlessly pull up to 1,800 kg (braked, 8 per cent gradient), while the ID. Buzz GTX with long wheelbase has a maximum towing capacity of 1,600 kg. The maximum trailer weight was thus increased by 800 kg and 600 kg respectively. The 4MOTION system offers great traction advantages when towing a trailer on wet or loose surfaces in particular. The new ID. Buzz GTX is therefore an ideal towing vehicle – for example, for boat or horse trailers, which are often moved on slippery ground.
GTX exterior: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has also customised the interior equipment. Dark tones underline the sporty character of the most powerful ID. Buzz. For example, both ID. Buzz GTX versions are the only models in the product line to be equipped with a black headliner. The seats also feature the specific GTX design. Electrically adjustable comfort seats with memory function are used in the front. The seats are enhanced by covers in black ArtVelours Eco microfleece with a new diamond pattern as well as red contrasting seams and red piping. Red cross-stitching is a distinctive feature on the multifunction steering wheel, which is refined by a red application on the centre trim and the GTX lettering integrated there in chrome.
GTX passenger compartment: The ID. Buzz GTX with standard wheelbase is available as a five-seater with a 40:60 split three-seat bench in the second row (2/3) or as a six-seater4 with two individual seats each in the second and third rows (2/2/2). The long-wheelbase ID. Buzz GTX will also launch as a five-seater with a three-seat bench (2/3) and as a six-seater4 (2/2/2). This version will additionally be offered as a seven-seater4 with a three-seat bench in the second row and two individual seats in the third row (2/3/2). Depending on the model, the seats in the second row can be moved longitudinally by 150 mm (standard wheelbase) or 200 mm (long wheelbase).
GTX luggage compartment: The luggage compartment volume of the ID. Buzz GTX (standard wheelbase) as a five-seater is between 1,121 litres (loaded to the upper edge of the rear seat backrests) and 2,123 litres (rear bench seat folded down, loaded up to the upper edge of the front seat backrests). The extended ID. Buzz GTX is even more spacious: when loaded up to the upper edge of the backrests of the second row of seats, a capacity of 1,340 litres is available. If the large ID. Buzz GTX is loaded right up to the first row of seats, the volume increases to 2,469 litres. Even when occupied by seven people, there is still 306 litres of load space available behind the third row of seats in the long GTX. Depending on the seat configuration, both ID. Buzz GTX models can be equipped with a long or short Multiflex board4 (including two folding boxes). The Multiflex board creates a second loading level and – when the rear seats are folded down – a flat load area.
New hardware and software plus ChatGPT: A major hardware and software update for the product line will be incorporated into the GTX models. New on board are a head-up display (optional) and the next generation of infotainment systems (standard) with new menu navigation and graphics as well as fast processor power. The system's touchscreen is now 12.9 inches in size instead of 12.0 inches (33 cm diagonal instead of 30 cm). Also new are the illuminated touch bar for temperature and volume control. The new IDA voice assistant4 is operated with natural voice commands. It not only allows control of numerous vehicle functions, but also provides answers to general knowledge questions using the online connection to databases such as Wikipedia. The innovative IDA voice assistant additionally features ChatGPT integration (AI/artificial intelligence). Another new feature is a Wellness app that uses preconfigured programmes to adjust various vehicle functions to improve well-being while driving or charging. The exit warning system is another new addition. This warns of motorised vehicles and bicycles5 approaching from the rear when a door is opened.
Samba bus of a new era: From now on, the ID. Buzz with long wheelbase will be available with the panoramic sunroof with smart glass4 as an option. The multi-layered smart glass has an integrated liquid crystal film and can be electronically switched so that it is transparent or opaque. The largest panoramic sunroof ever used in a Volkswagen turns the ID. Buzz into a Samba bus for a new era.Source - Volkswagen
