1:58 "between wheel arches ..is 1.9m" ?? No it isn't, lol. The whole vehicle is 1.985m .. so about 1.0m between wheel arches in cargo area... ~mini van size.

Apologies! You are correct Krusty. I'll pin this comment

Took one on a 48 hour drive (from Chelmsford VW) and used it to get my job, hotel and then job again. Once done, home. Overall a very happy experience. Definitely the one 😀.

Very nice!

I just realised I had a dinky ambulance in the early 1970's that had similar lines to the ID Buzz. Now I know why it is growing on me. The visivbility out the front looks great. Pity the armrest is missing I'm sure you would have liked it in the caddy. Like you I prefer real switches. Another good video. Thanks Derek

Thanks Des. It's definitely going for the retro vibe. Can't beat an armrest. All I need now is to keep both hands on the steering wheel 🙈

£120 for the body colour bumpers, as a salesperson I’ll pretty much be recommending it given the cost already, feature for feature and taking into account the UK grant, it’s not far off a T6.1, there is a difference in payload and volume of course and that’s a discussion well up front.

Thanks Mark. body coloured bumpers all the way. The payload and volume will suit some and not others alright.

So useful thanks, I'll consider this. I think the two tone is revolting though! Just a thought, if theres no new Caddy, how are small businesses supposed to come up with this much money for a van?!

I really don't know. The Caddy was a great size and price.

It looks great. I’m not entirely sure where the passenger version fits into the market . I think the general public will continue to buy electric cars or suv's. It will do well as a commercial vehicle if the price is right but I still think they’ve gone a bit too far down the nostalgia route with this van and long term it could suffer the same fate as the Beetle or Sirocco. It’s a bit flashy for a van. I’d be interested to know if any van drivers out there would consider buying one?

I think it's bring minivan size to the European market. I've spoken to a few businesses and it will be more about marketing with the Buzz rather than practicality but I need to speak to actual drivers

a van is a roomer SUV .. always seemed weird to me how people find a SUV more desirable than a roomer Van.

I think the Buzz Cargo might be more of a novelty vehicle as the new electric Transorter which is a shared eTransit platform will be the more serious option.

I'm surprised you think it will lose that much compared to the wltp. I have a peugeot e-expert, and easily get 280km out of an 80% charge. So while i don't regularly go up to 100% i have no doubt it would be over 300. And that's with load. I'm actually surprised this isnt more efficient though. I've got a 21,5kwh/100km consumption on the last 3000km I've done, and the e-expert is bigger. I get 6,6m2 in the back and I think just under 1000kg load weight.

@@NevoEVReviewIreland i've got an L3 e-expert with a 75kwh battery, so my unladen weight is 2184, and my allowed cargo weight is 870kg. I've got about 300kg in it with my tools etc. And usually a couple hundred extra kg of stuff i'm moving around for jobs.

I heard no plan to bring the cargo version to the USA.

For commercial purposes the Ford E-Transit may be better value for money. Personally I think the regular non-cargo ID Buzz will do better.
