Description:
Today I test the Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX Long Wheelbase (86 kWh) at a constant 110 km/h (68 mph) on the Autobahn to see how much range you can expect in real-world summer conditions.
After completing the 130 km/h (81 mph) test, it's time to find out whether a slightly lower cruising speed makes a significant difference in efficiency, comfort, noise levels, and long-distance usability. With temperatures close to 30°C, the air conditioning running continuously, and ongoing highway closures affecting the route, this is a realistic test of everyday motorway driving.
