Meanwhile, the sportier GTX model, touted to be the range-topper in the ID. Buzz family, will have its pricing announced soon. The Wolfsburg-based automaker has equipped the model with a potent 340-PS all-wheel drive system, a familiar powerhouse from the ID.4 GTX. The 286 PS motor is positioned at the rear and utilises a permanent magnet synchronous machine, while an asynchronous machine installed at the front, which activates only when additional power is needed. The ID. Buzz GTX is capable of accelerating to 62 mph in just 6.5 seconds, with a top speed capped at 99 mph.

With the two new models in the ID. Buzz lineup, the electric van can now be had in standard, cargo, GTX, and LWB variants. Just recently, Volkswagen also unveiled an entry-level model with a smaller 62-kWh battery pack but it is yet to be launched in the UK.
