Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo LWB Adds 0.5 Cubic Meters

Volkswagen Expands ID. Buzz Cargo Range

On September 23, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles announced an expansion of its ID. Buzz Cargo range with a new long-wheelbase version. The Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo LWB uses an 86 kWh battery and produces 210 kW in its standard configuration. With 4MOTION all-wheel drive, output rises to 250 kW. The new version also provides towing capacity of up to 1,800 kg. Like other ID. Buzz models, the long-wheelbase cargo van will be built at the company’s Hanover plant in Germany and will receive the latest ID. software.

More Cargo Space and Increased Load Capacity

The long-wheelbase version adds 0.5 cubic meters of cargo space compared with the existing configuration. Its load area provides 2,458 mm of load length and 1,230 mm of width between the wheel arches, giving operators additional room for transporting equipment and goods. Payload capacity reaches 700 kg for the rear-wheel-drive version and 606 kg for the all-wheel-drive model. A second sliding door is also included as standard equipment, expanding access to the cargo area and supporting loading and unloading operations in commercial applications.

Updated Infotainment and Steering Controls

The new cargo van receives the Innovision infotainment system as part of its equipment updates, along with a redesigned multifunction steering wheel. These changes accompany the latest ID. software, which adds functionality beyond the vehicle’s existing operating systems. The software update also introduces Vehicle-to-Load capability, allowing the vehicle to supply electrical power to external equipment. Using the PowerSocket adapter, the van can provide up to 3.0 kW of continuous power, with peak output reaching 3.6 kW. This expands the practical utility of the vehicle for work-related electrical needs.

Pricing and Market Launch Schedule

Pre-sales for the 250 kW 4MOTION version start at EUR 50,630 net, while the rear-wheel-drive version will follow the next week at EUR 48,490 net. The pricing applies to the versions announced for the initial rollout. The company has also provided a separate schedule for the United Kingdom, where orders are planned to open in early 2027. The market launch there is scheduled for spring. This phased timing means customers in different markets will receive access to the long-wheelbase cargo configuration according to the regional launch schedule.

Production and Commercial Vehicle Positioning

Production of the long-wheelbase cargo model will continue at the Hanover plant, maintaining the same manufacturing location used for other ID. Buzz models. The combination of additional cargo volume, different payload ratings, optional all-wheel-drive capability, and increased towing capacity gives fleet and commercial users several operating characteristics to consider. The 86 kWh battery and updated software also extend the vehicle’s technical specification, while the V2L functionality adds an additional power-delivery feature. The available configurations therefore address cargo transport, towing, and mobile electrical-use requirements within the same commercial vehicle range.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The expanded cargo configuration strengthens the commercial-vehicle offering around the ID. Buzz by addressing practical requirements such as cargo volume, payload, towing, all-wheel drive, and mobile power supply in a single range. For commercial operators, the differences between the rear-wheel-drive and 4MOTION versions provide distinct combinations of output and payload capacity. The continued use of Hanover for production also keeps the new configuration within the existing manufacturing framework. The next key developments will be the rollout of the rear-wheel-drive version, the planned United Kingdom order opening in early 2027, and the spring market launch there.
