Life trim comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, while the Style version comes with 20-inch wheels as standard and 21-inch wheels as an option. The latter boosts the ID. Buzz’s concept car looks, and in our opinion, doesn’t spoil the car’s ride too much, either. The four-wheel drive GTX model comes with 21-inch alloy wheels as standard but have firmer sports suspension that further affects the ride.
The jump in price from Life trim to the mid-range Style model is almost £5,000, though it does bring luxuries such as matrix LED headlights, bigger wheels, three-zone climate control, electric rear windows, tinted rear windows and a Harman Kardon sound system, but we don’t think you’d feel short-changed with Life spec.
At the top of the range, the GTX is another £3,600 more than Style, and features more power thanks to a twin electric motor set-up that adds four-wheel drive, even larger wheels, electric front seats with massage, four heated seats and panoramic glass, plus a sportier look and suspension set-up. However, thanks to its extra power, the GTX has a shorter range than the other models in the ID. Buzz line-up.
Interior and dashboard design
The retro exterior looks will turn heads wherever you go, while the interior takes a more modern approach mixed with some of the same appeal. There’s a large touchscreen menu up front, a small digital instrument cluster mounted on the steering column (so it moves with the wheel when you adjust it) and plenty of storage everywhere, while the pale plastics help with the feeling of spaciousness in the cabin.
Materials and build quality
Some of the plastics used in the interior are on the hard side but everything feels durable in line with the utility vehicle remit. There are rubber inserts where you need them that boost the feeling of quality in the cabin.
