Fair point....I think california Chris says you can't buy the seats from parts..... maybe that's why.
No.... hang on.... you can put the rear middle in any spot or backwards.... the floor can take it.
I’d not seen that about the wheels. I wonder if that means they’re using fords hubs and wheels then which on the last custom were 6-bolt.
afaik the I’d-buzz’ rear seat has a fixed base. I’ll check with my uncle who has one. Range is iffy. He drove here (~Newcastle) from Glasgow before Christmas and had to stop to charge near Carlisle, then again once he got here.
Seen a few if these around. I assumed they were the new Sharan.
Is the Transporter the same size as this or is that the same as the new Ford Transit?
It’s different. It’s built in the car platform - like a big superb. The new transporter / transit custom has its own platform (I think?)
@mick_r id buzz rear seat doesn’t come out, just folds flat with the rear false floor top.
I believe the six seat option has seat mounted belts so you can spin the second row to have conference seats when driving. Same price as 7 seat.
Ultimately it's a massive 7/6 seat mpv with car rather than van sensibilities.
It's bigger that a Sharan. Almost as big as my old Trafic - 10cm shorter and 1.5cm narrower. It's got a longer bonnet so not quite as big inside, but still huge for a car.
Loaded with 2 bikes wheels on ( one is an XL 29er full suss) and 2 surfboards (one is a 9'6" longboard). All fits comfortably with room for some bags. I left one of the rear seats in, with that out then they'll be loads more room. This is our maximum personal loading scenario so plenty big enough for us.
Need to get a groundsheet to use as a liner and a cargo net
Seats are easy enough to get in and out, but you wouldn't want to be doing it everyday
Merc tried to sell a posher mpv here (r class) which had a better engines and gearboxes and it was a flop.
Quite an achievement to put all the things everyone wants (loads of space, 4WD, limo comfort) into one vehicle and produce... a car that nobody wants. I actually makes me want to buy one 🙂
Thanks for checking hot_fiat - I thought that was the case. So ID Buzz is pretty useless compared to the adaptability of the Multivan shown above.
I've got a Dispatch crewvan so will be sitting tight for now whilst things develop in the next few years - 5 or occasionally 6 seats with mucky bikes etc completely segregated by bulkhead. Kids are getting older so we could start to manage with an e Berlingo multispace but feels like we aren't quite there with range yet. New Courier E Tourneo also looks interesting.
Just out of interest, do the rear seats activate seatbelt warnings and if so does it know which seat is where?
Apparently yes. I guess it just warms and you have to work out who isn't belted yourself.
