2028 Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo Space: How Much Can It Actually Carry?

The 2028 Volkswagen ID. Buzz answers the question every family asks before buying a three-row van: how much does it actually hold? Behind the third row, 18.6 cubic feet handles everyday loads. Behind the second row, that number reaches 75.5 cubic feet. With both rows folded, the ID. Buzz opens up 145.5 cubic feet of flat cargo space. For St. Louis families who need a vehicle that can carry seven passengers to a soccer tournament and haul furniture home the same weekend, the ID. Buzz is worth a close look.

Cargo Behind the Third Row

With all seven seats occupied, the 2028 ID. Buzz still offers 18.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. That’s enough for a full grocery run, school bags, sports gear for a couple of kids, or a weekend overnight bag for each passenger. The third row slides forward and backward to adjust the balance between row-three legroom and cargo depth, which lets you optimize the cargo area based on what you’re hauling that day without sacrificing a seating position.

The power liftgate makes loading and unloading easier without setting anything down, which matters when you’re loaded up with groceries, equipment, or camping gear heading out from South County.

Cargo with the Third Row Folded

Fold the third row and cargo volume jumps to 75.5 cubic feet. That opens the ID. Buzz to full-size loads: bicycles, large suitcases for a family trip, flat-packed furniture from IKEA, or a full load of camping equipment for a Tourer 4Motion weekend in the Ozarks. At 75.5 cubic feet, the ID. Buzz competes with what many three-row SUVs offer only when the third row is completely removed.

Maximum Cargo: Flat Floor Hauling

With both the second and third rows folded flat, the 2028 ID. Buzz delivers 145.5 cubic feet of cargo space. The load floor sits at van height with a flat, even surface, which matters when loading large items that need to lie flat or slide in from the rear. At maximum configuration, the ID. Buzz functions as a capable light-hauler while still returning to full seven-passenger duty in minutes.

Power Sliding Doors and Cargo Access

The 2028 ID. Buzz features power sliding doors on both sides. Beyond convenience, power sliders change how you load cargo in tight spaces. When parked in a South County parking lot or a narrow garage, sliding doors open fully without requiring swing clearance, letting you load groceries, strollers, sports bags, or pet crates without repositioning the vehicle.

The Tourer 4Motion: Storage Built for Adventure

The Tourer 4Motion trim takes the ID. Buzz’s cargo flexibility a step further with factory-integrated features designed for overnight camping and extended trips. Where other ID. Buzz trims give you flexible cargo space, the Tourer gives you factory-equipped storage and camping functionality built around it. For St. Louis families planning regular trips to Lake of the Ozarks, Mark Twain National Forest, or anywhere that benefits from sleeping in the vehicle, the Tourer trim is worth pricing out separately.

Cabin Technology and Storage

Inside the cabin, the 2028 ID. Buzz adds the updated ID.S 6 infotainment system to help manage navigation and connectivity on longer hauls. The cabin also includes thoughtful small-item storage throughout, including accessible bins, cup holders, and compartments that make the ID. Buzz livable on extended trips rather than just spacious.
