Ever wished your family-friendly van could moonlight as a workhorse? Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is narrowing the divide (quite literally) between passenger comfort and utility with a new factory accessory designed for the European market ID. Buzz.
Developed in collaboration with long-time partner Snoeks Automotive in the Netherlands, the fixed partition gives owners a way to convert the rear of their five-seat electric van into a proper cargo area, without sacrificing everyday practicality.

The new partition is mounted directly behind the second row and includes a window, preserving the ID. Buzz’s five-seat layout while creating a separate floor-to-ceiling cargo space much like the ID. Buzz Cargo variant.
Beyond safety, the partition keeps dirt, smells, and noise from the cargo area out of the cabin, while also helping the climate control system work more efficiently by reducing the volume of the space that needs to be heated or cooled.
The divider is made from Compax, a composite material known for being both lightweight and durable. To avoid a purely industrial feel, Volkswagen finished it in a high-grade soft-touch surface. There’s even a built-in storage compartment under the floor, designed specifically to hold the charging cable. Importantly, the setup doesn’t interfere with rear seatbelts or the operation of the side airbags.

The new accessory can be fitted to both the standard and long-wheelbase versions of the ID. Buzz. For the short wheelbase, it’s offered on the Freestyle, Pure, Energy, and Pro trims. For the longer model, it’s available on the Energy and Pro lines. In Germany, pricing starts at €1,856.40, or roughly $2,000 based on current exchange rates.
While the ID. Buzz remains part of VW’s European lineup, the electric minivan has skipped the 2026 MY in the US market, due to lower-than-expected demand. A return isn’t off the table, though. Volkswagen may bring it back in 2027 with more substantial updates aimed at attracting US buyers.
