The next 12 or 18 months will be a busy time for Volkswagen Australia as it launches multiple new EV models into its line-up.
One of those is the ID.Buzz, the latter-day Kombi with an all-electric driveline, which is expected to begin deliveries by the end of this year as a zero-emissions alternative to the Kia Carnival and Hyundai Staria.
And while we’re now waiting for pricing details, VW has let slip that the fastest ID. Buzz variant, the GTX, is also destined for Aussie shores.
The performance version of the ID. Buzz will likely cost well north of $100,000 when it arrives, but its performance should balance that out.
So would the presentation with VW Australia’s head of marketing, Nathan Johnson, confirming the GTX would feature a sporty, dark interior and would be available in two versions of two-tone red (black over red and silver over cherry red) harking back to the original Kombi.
We’re likely to see the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase version when it arrives.
More specifications were not forthcoming form VW Australia, but the GTX reportedly uses a 250kW all-electric driveline and can reach 100km/h from rest in a claimed 6.4 seconds.
Mr Johnson also confirmed that the GTX would be the brand’s fastest ever MPV.
The ID.Buzz will join the ID.4 and ID.5 electric SUVs, which are due to arrive in the middle of this year, in the brand's expanding EV range.
The small ID.3 electric hatchback is expected to arrive in showrooms next year, too.
