Volkswagen has unveiled a new variant of the ID. Buzz electric van with a 250 mm longer wheelbase, which now features three rows of seats with capacity for up to 7 people.
As far as we can tell, there are two different interior options available – one with captain seats for the second row making it a six seater in a 2-2-2 config, and another with a 60:40 split bench in the second row offering a 2-3-2 seven seater configuration.
The ID. Buzz LWB now measures 4,962 mm long with a wheelbase of 3,238 mm, compared to the ID.Buzz SWB’s 4,712mm length and 2,988 mm wheelbase.
The battery offered is also now bigger in capacity – 85 kWh compared to the two-row ID. Buzz’s 77 kWh battery. The single motor rear wheel drive option now has 286 horsepower, with a top speed of 160 km/h. This is an improvement over the ID. Buzz SWB’s 204 PS and 145 km/h top speed. 0-100 km/h is reached in 7.9 seconds.
Volkswagen plans to offer an ID. Buzz LWB GTX later, with an additional front motor bringing up total power output to 339 horses, with a quicker 6.4 second 0-100 km/h sprint time.
If you want to buy a Volkswagen ID. Buzz SWB in Malaysia, parallel importers are selling it for RM588k the last we checked. No word if VPCM will officially bring it in.

It will be better if it comes with a Spare battery, instead of just longer wheelbase for 2 spare seats.
then it will suit the sentimental diehard uncle fans for the Microvan, uncle want more practicality and more function.
I dontch understand why second tow seats are not fully benched.
