Power and Performance

Why the VW ID. Buzz GTX is a compelling choice for UK electric leasing

Unlike the standard ID Buzz with a single rear motor, the GTX features dual motors — one on each axle — providing all-wheel drive and a total output of 335 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. This makes it the most powerful Microbus Volkswagen has ever produced, even surpassing the new Golf R in raw performance.

The VW ID Buzz GTX combines performance with confidence and comfort.

All-Wheel Drive System

The GTX’s 4MOTION system ensures superior traction, especially when towing or on slippery surfaces. The dual-motor layout enhances cornering stability and agility.
