The long-wheelbase Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo gains 0.5 m³ of cargo space, but its maximum payload drops. Official figures show 4.4 m³ versus 3.9 m³ for the standard version and up to 690 versus 750 kg. In other words, volume rises by about 13%, while maximum payload falls by 60 kg, or 8%.

The load compartment is now 2.45 m long. On the short-wheelbase Cargo it measures 2.208 m with the rear tailgate or 2.232 m with twin rear doors. A second sliding side door is standard on the long-wheelbase version, while buyers can still choose between a tailgate and two rear barn doors.

An 86 kWh battery sits under the floor instead of the 79 kWh pack. The rear-wheel-drive ID. Buzz Cargo LWB produces 210 kW, or 286 hp, while the dual-motor 4MOTION version delivers 250 kW, or 340 hp. Volkswagen has not yet published the driving range or price for the long-wheelbase cargo version itself. The company says timing for availability will be announced separately.

Along with the new body style, the long-wheelbase Cargo gains features from the latest ID. Buzz update: traffic-light recognition in Travel Assist, one-pedal driving, physical steering-wheel buttons and a future Vehicle-to-Load function. Via an adapter in the charging port, the van will be able to supply external tools with up to 2 kW of continuous power. The passenger range has also changed recently: the 2027 ID. Buzz Pure gets 190 hp and a 58 kWh LFP battery.

Payload is where one of the design limitations becomes clear. The similarly sized Citroën ë-Jumpy M with a 75 kWh battery offers 5.3 m³ of cargo volume and, with the increased-payload package, can carry up to 1,220 kg. That is 530 kg more than the maximum for the long-wheelbase ID. Buzz Cargo.

So the LWB version solves the shortage of cargo volume, but it does not turn the ID. Buzz into the most efficient load-carrying tool. Volkswagen has yet to reveal the next two numbers that will define its real competitiveness: range with a load and the price of the long-wheelbase version.
