Electrifying.com score

8/10

The ID. Buzz is one of the most sought-after electric cars, and the addition of seven seats and more space means it will make more sense for family buyers wanting to swap out of an SUV. The extra range and performance could be welcome too.

Ginny Says

“This is the car which answers almost all of the criticisms of the shorter Buzz. More space brings more practicality and it's a car which provides a real alternative to big SUVs for family motorists. ”

Nicki Says

“I can see the appeal of the Buzz, but it would be fair to say I don't share Ginny's unwavering enthusiasm, perhaps because I live it a city where big isn't best. I'm not sure adding more weight, speed and length is what this car needs.”
