In the beautiful world of the car we must expect shocks. The arrival of Donald Trump into the power of a re-cooked card. Import taxes, relations with China, which currently dominates battery production at highly competitive prices. And purchases of electric vehicles fluctuate depending on the year.
Many notifications of maintaining consumer interest, but sometimes they have to wait more than a year to take a wheel of a vehicle where they and they blinked. Marketing is often postponed from month to month or production is even interrupted for several weeks, as is the case with the Ford F150. The company announced that it lost $ 130,000 per unit. Other models, on the other hand, pull out of the game. Tesla, which still breaks down sales in North America, of course, but also Chevrolet with Evinox EV, a model that would best meet the expectations of customers in terms of electric vehicles.
Other barely the banners have disappeared. The Chinese giant residents give up the export of its vehicles to Canada due to 100 % surcharge on all electric vehicles from China. The only way to bypass these customs barriers would be to build a factory in the United States or Canada to avoid protectionist measures.
At the same time, Canada invested large amounts of money to set up the country: Stellantis, Volkswagen and Honda. Like Quebec, he bet on the Northvolt battery sector. But no one has a crystal ball that claims to succeed these projects. We cross our fingers.
Id.buzz de Volkswagen, available from January
Finally. In January. And this time it would be the right one. Volkswagen ID.Zuzz, new interpretation of the famous brand brand could be available next January. Good news. There are many explanations on our roads on our roads. Recall that ID.ZZZ has been running in Europe since 2023. In fact, the version on our market was to be built in the United States, but the Volkswagen factory based in Chattanooga did not have the ability to produce it focusing on two other electric models: Atlas and ID.4. Made in Germany, it was necessary to adopt id. Estate to meet North American safety standards.
Impossible not to fall into a nice silhouette that contrasts with the standardization of vehicles that sometimes makes their identification more difficult. And it is undoubtedly possible that we realize that id .zz will be multifunctional. For the family, for supplies or for the transport of surfing plates such as its legendary predecessor, and head to the California coast. We want to accept this not only for our appearance, but also because it is in line with the vehicles you want to be more environmentally friendly. And I wonder if Volkswagen did not renew the concept of van.
Small clarification or reminder: Only a long version will be imported by us, which is 250 mm longer than the European version. With a space provided for seven passengers and large electric sliding doors, the availability will be available to the vehicle by a children’s game.
However, what is interested in each buyer of an electric vehicle or a vehicle buyer and recharging hours. Volkswagen played aerodynamics in an effort to increase autonomy (CX 0.29), but the weight of the batteries has an impact on consumption. According to the manufacturer, id.Zuzz would reach a range of 400 km with full load. For journalists who tried the first models, we would shoot around 372 km and 377 km for the 4Motion version with full gearing. Positive point: The Canadian market models have a heat pump that reduces the impact of cold on autonomy.
When it comes to charging time, you can get 80 % in the area of 30 minutes, of course from level 3 terminal.
Are you ready to place your order? Be aware that the interior lacks the usual colors found on most vehicles. Gray, black and their shades have not been preserved. You will have to choose between cognac, navy or white sand. And we did not participate in the use of wood and aluminum, which brought the interior space of great clarity.
High driving position, panoramic windshield, apparently huge central infotainment screen (12.9 inches), heated and ventilated seats with massage function, head display, device list does not end and comes as standard for ID. There are two options, colors two tones ($ 1,500) and a panoramic roof with an electrochromic function ($ 2,000).
A toy that is so attractive but is worth more than one. Depending on the version of two wheels or full toothed Congo, we are talking about a fork ranging from $ 77,495 to $ 82,995. It goes without saying that the sympathetic id. Zušz does not qualify for federal and provincial subsidies.
