HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — You might need had the identical thought I did when first seeing the three-row 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz: what is the take care of that little window?
Encased inside a complete bunch of different tinted glass on the Buzz’s sliding rear doorways is a small window. It was instantly obvious that this small window exists as a result of the remainder of the window clearly does not go down like they do on different vans, however what is the deal?
Nicely, for starters, it is a sliding window. Volkswagen factors out that its earlier busses had sliding rear home windows. Truthful sufficient. The principle cause, nevertheless, is that the Buzz’s rear facet home windows match completely flush with the physique work to realize that oh-so-cool look and slippery aerodynamics. If you’d like completely flush home windows, they cannot roll down into the door. The answer is a sliding sub window like this.
Nonetheless, it is essential to see what this window seems like from inside.
From the second-row, the sliding window portion takes up 100% of the viewable space. You’d do not know there’s all that cup above and beneath on the skin. In different phrases, it isn’t as unusual inside. The home windows themselves could also be a tad small in top, I suppose, however the total glass space within the Buzz is immense and the cabin is ethereal usually.
The home windows are managed, clearly, by way of switches on the doorways themselves. You too can management them from the motive force’s door, however this is the place the facepalm is available in …
Volkswagen makes use of the identical ridiculous controls because the ID.4, which omits rear window switches altogether. There are simply two window switches, and to manage the rear ones, you first should brush the “rear” icon, hope it acknowledges you, and observe if the “rear” illuminates. If it does, you’ll be able to roll down the rear home windows. Sorry, slide open the rear home windows.
