Overview
The 2026 Volkswagen ID. Buzz Pro SWB is an electric people mover with seating for 5, built to haul a family and a lot of gear without burning any fuel. It's $79,990 drive-away, which is the manufacturer's advertised drive-away price in Victoria. It runs an 84kWh battery, 79kWh of it usable, with a claimed 422km (WLTP) range, and energy use is rated at 20.7kWh/100km. Boot space is 1,121 litres with the seats up, and it's rated to tow 1,200kg braked. We don't have its DC charging speed yet, so it suits families who mostly charge at home and want a roomy box on wheels.

Battery and Charging
AC is home or destination charging. DC is public fast charging. Typical 10 to 80% is the useful fast-charge window. Battery preheating and a heat pump both protect fast-charging speed and range in the cold. 🏆 marks the strongest car per row.
How long to charge
79kWh usableEstimates from usable battery size. No onboard charger figure is held for this car, so the AC times assume 7.4kW: an illustration, not this car's rated figure. Real times vary with temperature, starting charge, charger output and the charging curve.
Home charging cost
$7.87 /100km
Energy cost only, on indicative home tariffs (peak 38¢, off-peak 19¢, solar 6¢ per kWh). Your plan and public charging will differ. How we calculate.

⚠ Not every limit could be checked: the manufacturer publishes no GCM for this vehicle, so this verdict rests only on the limits that are published.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.

Balanced profile
Rear
128mm wall
255/50 R19
Balanced profile
Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.
Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file. Actual prices vary by brand, retailer and fitting.
