Volkswagen ID.Buzz for €425/month, a good deal?

Comment
Volkswagen ID.Buzz

The very unique German monospace ID.Buzz from Volkswagen offers an attractive deal on paper. Does it hold up in reality?

It’s no secret that the Volkswagen ID.Buzz is not the most affordable electric vehicle. Its weight (2,497 kg empty), its size (4,712 mm long), and its not very aerodynamic profile mean it doesn’t extract a lot of range from its 77 kWh battery (415 km displayed, 300 km real-world).

A quick reminder of the facts: the VW ID.Buzz starts at €59,450 including VAT in its single PRO trim available in France. It is therefore not eligible for the ecological bonus due to its price exceeding €47,000. Its motorization (also only one for now, awaiting a probable GTX version) provides 204 horsepower and a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 10.2 seconds. Finally, if the two-tone color looks essential to you, you’ll need to add €2,810. As for the stylish 21-inch wheels suited to the size, they cost €980.

What is the offer details?

Volkswagen is offering a 37-month long-term lease for 40,000 km, or about 13,000 kilometers per year. The model is a ID.Buzz PRO 77 kWh with a list price of €60,970 because it includes the S Maintenance Pack. Only stock units are eligible for this offer.

The initial higher rent is €6,527, followed by 36 monthly payments of €425. After 37 months, you will have paid €21,827, barely a third of the catalog price.

When considering the interest rate linked to this loan, but also including the maintenance contract and the very high depreciation of an electric vehicle due to rapid technological obsolescence, this ID.Buzz offer from Volkswagen seems very fair to us. Instead of buying, rent! But if you really want to own it, some dealerships are offering huge promotions.
