VW ID.Buzz GTX Long Wheelbase (86 kWh) Review – Is AWD Worth It Over Rear-Wheel Drive?  @BatteryLife
Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Description:
In this video, I take a detailed look at the Volkswagen ID.Buzz GTX Long Wheelbase (86 kWh), the all-wheel-drive version of VW's electric van. We cover the differences between the GTX and rear-wheel-drive models, interior space, seating configurations, technology, charging performance, acceleration, highway driving, and everyday usability.

The ID.Buzz GTX adds all-wheel drive, more towing capacity, and strong performance, but does it make sense compared to the standard rear-wheel-drive version?
