    Hmmm…
    "The pricing does not include the iconic Kombi two-tone paintwork, which Volkswagen Australia says graces almost half of its stock (oddly quoting 43 per cent) – and costs an extra $4090."

      Long may the flooding of cheap Chinese cars continue until these arrogant scumbags come back to reality.

      All of them are still milking the post Covid spikes.

        Yeah I’m all for it, except bring the Cheap Chinese EVs not cheap Chinese ICE cars - we don’t need those cars.
        They’ve nailed EVs from why it seems. Definitely will be my next car

    Is this electric or normal ?

    • tpopi on 16/10/2025 - 16:58

      Battery Electric Vehicle:
      "The Volkswagen ID. series is a family of battery electric cars from Volkswagen (VW) using its MEB platform that is developed by the Volkswagen Group for a range of vehicles"

    • BargainMe on 16/10/2025 - 19:21

      A normal electric

      Would be a good vehicle, if it had a decent petrol engine

      I’d actually argue the opposite - the only thing it has going for it is the drivetrain (alright, and the looks). Otherwise it stacks up terribly compared to the likes of the Carnival - which conversely is great except for a choice of 3 s*** engines.

      Whether BEV is right for you is a whole other question, but when the competitor is offering a thirsty AF V6, a diesel with modern DPF grumbles and a 1.6L Turbo hybrid (in a 2.5t car!!!), it’s hardly combustion’s finest hour.

      • Foxxster on 16/10/2025 - 18:49

        No. The ev drivetrain results in a real world range of around 330 km.. So you can just drive from Sydney to Canberra. Making it completely unsuitable for a camper, which the original vw kombi van was very much used as. It is also unsuitable as a family holiday vehicle. So its only real use is a city vehicle. Somewhat limiting and the exact opposite of the original. And once you add the two tone paint and some options and the slightly larger battery version, suddenly you are up for $100,000 . Like I said this is a vehicle for pounces with too much money. Which is probably why it’s been such a sales disaster worldwide.. oh and in case you missed it, I said with a DECENT petrol engine. And I will add with a DECENT hybrid setup. Such as the Toyota Camry one.

        • SanguinarySeraph on 16/10/2025 - 19:17

          It’s completely unsuitable as a camper either way - it’s basically a mid sized SUV with a slightly different body. Gives a bigger boot, but that’s about it.

          Underneath it’s the same as an ID4 or equivalent to a Tiguan.

          You’re 100% right it’s a city vehicle, but that’s as much the design as it is the drivetrain. If they’d stuck to the concept with the configurable interior it could have been far more versatile at least. And yes, it’s far too expensive for what it is.

          And I will add with a DECENT hybrid setup. Such as the Toyota Camry one.

          You could get an Alphard, but they’re over $100k for as new…for a grey import…

        • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 16/10/2025 - 19:58

          I think EV in general is not suited to van life. where sometimes you have to stretch your money just to get to the next destination/refuel.

          it's much easier to just have a fuel car/van. also with EV's you have to wait around for it to recharge which is slow, compared to filling a bit of fuel. in that time you could be driving to your next destination before the sun goes down, or stopping at the shops etc.

          after not watching van life videos for a few months youtube recommended me a video with the same box truck as this. https://youtu.be/pFzH9zV_YJ0 Chevy Brightdrop. it's very spacious inside, and on the cheaper side for a brand new vechicle because it's a commercial one.

          but look at it's shape! I imagine pretty bad km range as well for a EV. also slow to charge. no matter how good it looks overall I couldn't see it working out for someone living in it.

          also fyi one of the video's I watched on the Buzz said in real world they got less than 200miles. so less than 320km.

        • Bimbobob on 16/10/2025 - 21:46

          City vehicle? Average Australian only does 30-40km a day.

          Nothing wrong with using it for 100km daily commutes and kids activities later on in the day. Price affordability is what kills it for most.

        • smartazz104 on 16/10/2025 - 23:25

          Yes it’s selling bad because it’s an EV and not because it’s an $80,000 VW.

      • BestTechAdvisor on 16/10/2025 - 20:20

        The engines in the Carnival are great… It's hard to call the diesel just because of the DPF when that's the standard in most markets now regardless of manufacturer.

        I'm confident the Carnival will receive the new 2.5L EREV engine too, which is expected to also slot into the Tasman.

        If you want a BEV Carnival, take a look at the Kia PV5 arriving soon.

      VW couldn't make a decent engine that doesn't have issues. I guess they gave up, went electric and called it a day.

    I’d rather a Kia Carnival.

    • SanguinarySeraph on 16/10/2025 - 17:21

      That was my conclusion - I liked the concept they showed, but the production model removed all of the clever stuff and is basically an ID4 with a van shell. The base model interior is taxi spec, which is fine, but not for $80k plus.

      Carnival is considerably more practical, luxurious and cheaper.

    • gitl on 16/10/2025 - 18:11

      I would too, if there was actually a Carinal EV.

      Not really apples to apples is it.

    $80k, euro manufacturers have lost the plot…$60k and I might consider it 😂

    • applejack on 16/10/2025 - 17:19

      Same. I guarantee you they are not selling many…

      What other 7 seat EVs are out there that are sub 80k ?

        Id risk it and go with a hybrid Cherry Tiggo 8 at half price 🤷
        You cant trust any of the manufacturers anymore, everything that is now manufactured last 3-4 years ~100k km and then the problems start.

      Being an EV, the light can stay on for longer as it's not powered by just the 12V battery :D

      Or battery light. It doesn't have an engine.

    Poor range, equally poor software according to many pro EV reviewers

    • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 16/10/2025 - 17:31

      Poor range,

      yes this. terrible range for the price it's definitely not suited for van life. 😂

      but I guess a "VW van" is not exactly aerodynamic or light weight.

        also I heard that EV's are least efficient on the highway at high speed. you can increase range by driving slower like 60 instead of 90. which sounds dangerous but that's how it works apparently. pushing against the wind is it's biggest enemy.

    • xuqi on 16/10/2025 - 18:16

      Yes ridiculous asking price given the limited range…

  • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 16/10/2025 - 17:30

    I saw a video of this. for a 100k car it has the worst km range apparently.

  • Miso on 16/10/2025 - 17:33

    Good luck

  • squaredonut on 16/10/2025 - 17:52

    Honestly for a top end that's $110k, they really are trying to make sure brand loyalty is on their side. There are like decked out with tech and features of chinese 7 seater EVs.

    Granted yeah sure $100k or more on a chinese car that doesnt have an establishe brand recongition sounds risky.

    But hey not like VW isnt a company that makes lies up.

    Here's the maintenance procedure for the air filter change

    I'm sorry but if the VW engineers think this is acceptable who knows what other brain dead things have been put into the car.

    • easternculture on 16/10/2025 - 18:12

      Sounds like you need an engineering degree to replace the filter

    • xuqi on 16/10/2025 - 18:19

      That is the most idiotic process I have ever come across for a cabin air filter change.

        Lol. German engineering for sure.

        I once thought my old R53 cooper S' clutch replace was a joke (front bumper and impact bar removal). At least it's a job that happens every 10 years or so.

        This takes it to a whole new level.

        People wonder why VWs are so expensive to upkeep and full of issues.

  • GOmike on 16/10/2025 - 18:31

    Still way toooo expensive. We have been waiting on the Xpeng G9 for a while. Apparently, the best 7 seater EV for its price range

  • Dollar General on 16/10/2025 - 18:39

    Except in rare cases, cars are wealth destroyers. Spending $80,000+ on a car is crazy

    • xuqi on 16/10/2025 - 19:49

      Except during the pandemic and for a while afterwards where prices of new/used cars spiked.

    • SetTheFaqUp on 16/10/2025 - 20:20

      "Spending $80,000+ on a car is crazy"

      Depends. I once thought $1k for a watch is expensive.

    VW had such a winner in the ID. Buzz, and then they screwed it all up trying to charge $$$$$ for it. $49k base and $69k for a long range version and it would have sold up a storm.
