Volkswagen expands ID. Buzz Cargo with long-wheelbase model

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is expanding the ID. Buzz Cargo range with a new long-wheelbase model offering increased load space and towing capacity.

The ID. Buzz Cargo LWB has a wheelbase extended by 250mm, increasing load compartment volume by 0.5m³ to 4.4m³.

Its load area is 2,458mm long, while maximum payload stands at up to 700kg for the rear-wheel-drive version and 606kg for the all-wheel-drive model.

A second sliding door is fitted as standard and is 190mm wider, allowing a Euro pallet to fit through the opening.

UK order books are due to open in early 2027, ahead of the model’s planned market introduction in the spring.

The ID. Buzz Cargo LWB is equipped with an 86kWh battery and will be offered with rear-wheel or 4MOTION all-wheel drive.

The rear-wheel-drive version produces 210kW, or 286PS, while the 4MOTION model increases system output to 250kW, or 340PS. Both have a maximum braked towing capacity of 1,800kg on 8% and 12% gradients.

The new model will also introduce Vehicle-to-Load functionality, allowing operators to power external electrical equipment directly from the vehicle’s high-voltage battery.
