Volkswagen ID. Buzz and ID. Cargo on display at 2023 Singapore Motor Show

Visiting the Volkswagen stand at the 2023 Singapore Motor Show? Don't be surprised to find yourself having to push your way through quite the crowd, as we are expecting most visitors to the show will spend quite a bit of time ogling at the Volkswagen ID. Buzz and ID. Cargo.

Both vehicles may take their design inspiration from the retro Volkswagen Type 2 minibus, but they sport thoroughly modern underpinnings. Serving duty here is the Volkswagen Modular Electric Drive Kit, which means all-electric power for both vehicles.

This power comes to the tune of 201bhp, while the modern platform also offers all the typical handling and interior space benefits that come with positioning the battery deep within the floor of the chassis, handy for a tall and large vehicle.

Just how handy you ask? Volkswagen states that both vehicles will offer a 11.1m turning circle, despite their 2,988mm wheelbase, which should ensure easier parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces.

And that wheelbase additionally means up to you'll be able to ferry five in high comfort, along with their luggage, with a 1,121-litre cargo capacity even with all seats upright in the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.

Those that pilot the Volkswagen ID. Cargo meanwhile, will be able to get seating for either two or three up front, alongside a 3,900-litre cargo space for goods further back.

Volkswagen additionally states that the interior of both vehicles make extensive use of recycled materials while abstaining from the use of animal leather.

Head down to the Volkswagen stand, but note that you'll need to exercise some patience if you like what you see: Volkswagen Singapore states that it is expecting both vehicles to be available here only at the end of 2023.
