On March 21st, Volkswagen unveiled the official images of the ID.Buzz GTX, a performance-oriented variant of its popular electric van.
Featuring a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system, the ID.Buzz GTX boasts an impressive output of 335 horsepower, earning it the nickname "beast bus." It's set to go on sale this summer.
Compared to the standard ID.Buzz, the GTX version receives aggressive design enhancements, including a revised front bumper, altered fog light housings, and black accents. The unmistakable LED light bar spanning the front fascia remains, along with the illuminated VW logo in the center.
It features a standard MPV silhouette, with exclusive cherry red and dual-tone silver paint options, the latter offering a more premium visual effect. It comes with standard 20-inch wheels, with 21-inch wheels available as an option.
Stepping into the vehicle, the general design style hasn't changed, continuing the GTX elements, amply employing the combination of red and black to enhance the sporty feel. The flat-bottom steering wheel bears the GTX-exclusive logo.
It's worth noting that the central control screen has been upgraded to 12.9 inches and comes equipped with an all-new infotainment system, intelligent voice control, and functions such as ChatGPT. Optionally, a HUD head-up display can be installed.
GTX models are available in regular and long-wheelbase versions. Regular-wheelbase models will have five- and six-seat versions, while long-wheelbase models will offer five-, six-, and seven-seat layouts. All models have adjustable second-row seats.
In terms of trunk space, the five-seat regular-wheelbase version has a capacity of 1121-2123L, while the five-seat long-wheelbase model has a capacity of 1340-2469L. The base trunk space for the seven-seat model is 306L.
This vehicle is equipped with dual front and rear motors, with a maximum system power of 250 kilowatts (340 horsepower), a peak torque of 500 Newton-meters, a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 6.5 seconds, and a top speed of 160 km/h, which is sufficient for daily use.
