While I do not understand exactly why we won't get the short wheel base in the US (it would likely sell well), I do understand the reasons for the LWB version from my own perspective: third-row seating. Please correct me if I am wrong, but the SWB doesn't have the third-row seats as an option. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I want a third row for being able to install 3 car seats. 3 car seats across a single row is typically physically tight, and ergonomically horrible for the parent helping to strap their young children into the car. My back has been crying for the past four years loading my boys into my Passat, GTI, and to a lesser degree, the Bolt now. I only have two kids right now, but this vehicle is my choice if and when we have a third. The SWB would be a non-starter for me.

This is the first EV I have seen which I am actually considering, but only in the long wheelbase version.

A crazy comment at 3:20. We're basically teetering on a global recession with cost of living increases never before seen. This winter, some people will be chosing between 'heat or eat', so the comment is thoughtless and unnecessary. EV's are undoubtedly the future in one shape or form, but manufacturers seem to be showboating right now, almost like they want to show what they can do, but not actually make EV's for the masses at prices the average person can afford, and the average person *cannot* afford $70k and up on a car!

@@hereigoagain5050 ha! I wish I had. But “starving artist” isn’t just a cliche, you know. My one bedroom apartment on Haight Street was $150/month! I got my BFA in 1978. I had a tradesman skill (running a printing press) I learned in high school. That paid the rent. Then I went back to school and got a teaching credential (needed the Bachelor’s degree to get that) in 1990, as I wanted to do something meaningful. I taught elementary school for 30 years. Plus I was an adjunct professor at the local community college (photography) and lecturer at the state university (photography). All of that was a great experience. A few exhibitions, work in collections, a book, and years of immense satisfaction and challenges creating work. So, I’d say art school and the BFA proved very useful!

When the concept vehicle was unveiled it caught my attention. I think the changes to the appearance actually hurt it. Volkswagen should've made it look MORE like the classic VW micro-bus. That VW multi-van you pointed out is definitely something I will have to look into as I prefer PHEVs. Charging isn't readily available for me. I prefer the essentially unlimited range when you still have a gasoline motor to get you around after the electrons run out and there isn't a public charging station anywhere near.

Own a Id4. Love the look of the buzz. Won't buy another VW because they don't update their software. Over a course of a year I've had many software issue, none that have left stuck on the side of the road but super frustrating. I still have to swipe to charge at a Electrify America station. Don't get me started on the VW phone app, I can't even use it to lock or unlock the car or see if its locked or unlocked. Their route planning navigation is terrible. The backup camera is blurry. Was locked out of the phone app for the last 10 days then miraculously it just starts working again. So if you think Volkswagen will update their software don't hold your breath. You would think with all the new electric car competition out on the market that they would be on top of these things.

A couple of comments, not everyone can afford a $90-$100K vehicle, so that is bad advice to VW to price it that way. I hope the EV auto manufacturers make electric cars cheap enough for the masses, lower price is always better. Also, the current situation with chip shortage(s) is not the big issue anymore, I see thermoplastic supplies being limited (injection molded components) and other commodities that suppliers are having problems obtaining as well as getting employees is a bigger problem. I also think VW should market both wheel bases here in the states. Great review, keep up the good work!

@@davidclark538 not well... I don't think the majority of consumers are cheering for more collectibles for the wealthy. Nobody that loved the original, would be able or willing to pay that. This is like VWs joke on their own former customers...

This should be a top-seller in USA and Canada. It's Achilles heel is the tech. If the hardware is decent, then VW should be able to push software updates later. The interior looks much better than early pre-prodution ones. Thanks Kyle!

Great video because of the excitement! I do wish someone would fold the back seats down with the add-on accessory platform in a video - I think it allows for a long enough flat surface to have a "bed" in there. For me, I don't need all the bells and whistles of a camper to go camping and I know this isn't a camper, but if it's possible to sleep in there and easily buy a platform/shelf (and not have to custom make your own), then that would make it totally worthwhile for me (was originally hoping for the rails, captain's chair swivelling, and table shown in the original concept vehicle). Because it's electric, I wouldn't spend more in gas/create more emissions while doing my city driving in a bigger-sized vehicle. It will be so unique in Canada - not many electric vans.

The big draw of the original was the camper style interior. But we are living in different times,, most cities have outlawed sleeping in vehicles so you would get arrested camping out in this thing.

Kyle, I really enjoy your channel however your remark about making EV's expensive because "people will buy them" is a bit tone deaf. Given that you've recently purchased a Tesla Plaid and a Rivian truck clearly puts you in a more advantaged position than a whole lot of other Americans. Said, another way, you're basically telling a significant portion of your audience they're SOL if they don't have the bucks.

I think the reason the US version will be long wheelbase is because minivans here basically has to have a 3rd row. I would certainly want a 3rd row if I ever get one of these.

Agree 100% would get a lot of different vehicles if it doesn’t come with a 3rd row. Really should be AWD also if it was to come with a 3rd row.

Excited about the evolution of EV's finally hitting Vans. Not so excited about the excessive Price. Don't worry, the Chinese are coming, they will produce a similar copy, at approx 20% less. Perhaps the Chinese manufactures will force VW and others to offer competitive priced options ?

Please don’t promote pricing this as a 60k+ Ev! Finally have a family van option with this but average us family makes 54-64k. The original VW bus new back in the 70s and 80s would be under 20k with inflation today. 40-50k is still a ton of money for a car to most people. If they can sub 60k this van, sales will be amazing and they will have a huge fan base coming to VW.
