The dashboard layout is largely the same, though, with a small digital instrument pod that moves with the steering wheel when adjusted, while a large 12.9-inch colour touchscreen houses all the essential functions.
The three-seat layout is wide enough for three adults, and the fabric trim looks like it will withstand van life. The driver’s seat is heated, which helps to save battery energy on colder days, and storage is decent, too. There are double door bins and a long storage tray on top of the dashboard, a second shelf above the glovebox, cup holders at either end of the dashboard and a useful shelf below the central air vents with USB-C sockets and enough space for a smartphone.
Infotainment, sat-nav and stereo
The ID. Buzz Cargo is well-specced for a van thanks to its close relationship with the MPV variant. The Commerce trim includes climate control, heated electric door mirrors, parking sensors front and rear, a multifunction steering wheel (although it’s fitted with VW’s frustrating touch-sensitive controls), wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with online connectivity on offer, plus a first aid kit.
Upgrade to Commerce Plus and you’ll also get navigation with connected services, a heated windscreen, keyless entry, adaptive cruise control, a rear-view camera, body-coloured exterior trim, extra LED lights dotted around the exterior and 19-inch bi-colour alloy wheels.
There are several ways to approach buying the ID. Buzz Cargo. In many respects, the entry-level Commerce trim with the smaller 59kWh battery makes sense because it represents the best value, and most drivers won’t cover more than 200 miles per day.
