Thinking of ID Buzz GTX or ID7 T GTX

[48Valves]

Morning all,

Anyone got one of the above who can share their ownership opinions?

I know they are different types of vehicles but I can get either of them with all options as a company car.

My initial thought was for the 7 as I like a quick estate. It should be comfortable, has a much better range and do almost everything I need.

But, the Buzz looks cool and will be more practical. The range worries me for the longer journeys I do with work and visiting family a couple of times a month.
It also doesn’t look to have the most up to date infotainment system.
Are they comfortable to drive long distances?

I’m currently in a 540i with comfort seats and don’t want to lose that level of comfort.

Cheers in advance.

If comfort is a priority, the ID 7 is your friend. It's right there with a P2 platform Volvo for passenger comfort, and things like the massage seats only help.

Granted, it's not the most stylish of things, but I genuinely don't think there's a great difference in practicality between it and an ID.Buzz, particularly if you never need more than 5 seats.

I'd take a good look at the standard RWD version of the ID 7. I don't think the positives of the GTX (AWD, more performance) outweigh the negatives (poorer range, wider turning circle). The standard car is a better car overall, and in my opinion the AWD makes it duller to drive.

There are a few reasons why I want the GTX versions. They get all the bells and whistles.

But more importantly they are 4 wheel drive (roads round here are muddy and slippery for a lot of the year) and darker nicer interiors.

I’ve been waiting 2 or 3 months for my local dealer to get a Buzz GTX as a demo so we can borrow it for 24 hours, but as yet they’ve not been allocated one.

I can get a demo in a LWB/7 seater, so will probably take them up on this and then decide if we really want the GTX.
