ID. Buzz estimated average
These curves are aggregated, owner-reported degradation data — not official manufacturer figures. Your own result above is the number that matters.
Wh/mi or Wh/km
On the infotainment screen, swipe to the "Driving Data" view or go to "Vehicle" → "e-Manager" → "Driving Data". Average consumption in kWh/100 km or Wh/mi is listed in the trip computer. On ID. models, it's also on the "Driving Data" card on the home screen.
Estimated Range
Estimated range is displayed on the instrument cluster (or ID. Cockpit) behind the steering wheel and in the "e-Manager" → "Range" section of the infotainment.
Battery Percentage
Battery percentage is shown on the instrument cluster next to the range figure and in the top status bar of the infotainment. On ID. models, it also appears on the ID. Light status bar.

About the Volkswagen ID. Buzz
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz brings the iconic VW Microbus into the electric age — and it's every bit as charming as the concept car promised. Available in short-wheelbase (five-seat) and long-wheelbase (six or seven-seat) versions, it's one of the most distinctive EVs on the road.
The SWB uses a 79 kWh battery for up to 258 miles WLTP, while the LWB gets an 86 kWh pack for 361 miles. DC charging at up to 200 kW is competitive — a significant upgrade over the earlier 170 kW limit. The GTX variant adds all-wheel drive and 335 bhp.
Inside, the flat floor and boxy shape create enormous passenger space. The dashboard is minimal with a small driver display and a 12.9-inch central touchscreen. The ride is comfortable but not sporty — this is a family cruiser, not a hot hatch. For families who want something genuinely different from the sea of electric SUVs, the ID. Buzz has personality in abundance.
What the press thinks
An irresistibly charming electric people carrier. Reviewers adore the retro design, cavernous interior, and cheerful character. The high price, VW Group infotainment frustrations, and modest range on the SWB model are the common complaints.
