One in five Volkswagen ID. Buzz buyers will opt for the most expensive one
At least 20 per cent of Australian customers for the Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric van and people mover range are expected to choose the more powerful, dual-motor all-wheel drive GTX performance flagship – more than in almost any other market – despite its near-$20,000 price premium at a hefty $109,990 before on-road costs. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Australia director Nathan Johnson said local demand for the GTX will reflect the popularity of GTI hot hatch versions of the venerable VW Golf in this market. "With GTX, one in five [ID. Buzz sales] is our expectation – so roughly 20 per cent – and that will be one of the highest penetration rates for GTX in any market," he said at the recently launch of the ID. Buzz GTX.

We obviously haven't played in the performance market before at commercial vehicles, but from a Volkswagen perspective, in GTI, we are one of the top markets globally, and always have been in that space, so we always get a lot of attention from the global guys when it comes to performance models." Volkswagen Australia says about 20 per cent of its initial annual allocation of ID. Buzz vehicles is already spoken for, but its sales ambitions are relatively low for what is a relatively niche model, at a minimum of 100 per month – much less than the traditional volume of other VW commercial vans including the small Caddy, mid-size Transporter and large Crafter. First released in Europe in June 2022 and previously due on sale in Australia in 2024, the ID. Buzz was finally launched here in December, initially in short-wheelbase rear-wheel drive Cargo commercial van and both SWB five-seat and LWB seven-seat Pro people mover guises. Initial customer deliveries were held back until April to ensure all vehicles received a software update bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so to May this year fewer than 100 have now been registered. Volkswagen projects 55-60 per cent of buyers will opt for the Pro people movers, with the remaining 40-45 per cent going for the Cargo van. And of the almost 8000 expressions of interest it has received, most prospective buyers are keen on SWB vehicles and 70 per cent of orders are for people movers with a trademark two-tone paint scheme. The range-topping, long-wheelbase GTX is not only quicker and more powerful than all other ID. Buzz variants, thanks to its dual-motor powertrain that makes it the only all-wheel drive version, but it offers a higher 1600kg braked towing capacity and scores almost every option as standard in a 300mm-longer body with the practicality of seven seats. "The GTX has the benefit of being 4Motion [AWD] as well. This is very much a lifestyle vehicle that leans into some of those specific elements, and whether they go to the snow or the beach or so on, customers in Australia do have a preference for all-wheel drive," said Volkswagen Group Australia acting general manager of corporate communications, Daniel DeGasperi. "The GTX's higher towing capacity of up to 1.6 tonnes also means that while we're not talking about something that tows 3.5 tonnes like our Amarok, people do tow jet skis and small boats and vans." The GTX employs the same 86kWh lithium-ion battery as all other ID. Buzz variants, but adds a front-mounted electric motor to offer not only AWD, but total outputs of 250kW of power and 590Nm of torque. This results in a claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.4 seconds and 450km of electric range under the WLTP cycle. MORE: Everything Volkswagen ID.

This is the one Netflix movie I'm watching on Father's Day — and it's a gripping apocalyptic thriller with heart
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Father's Day is here, and like every year, the question of what to watch inevitably comes up. My dad and I don't exactly have a long list of traditional movies as we usually lean toward gritty thrillers, sci-fi flicks, or anything post-apocalyptic (bonus points if it involves zombies). His first suggestion was actually 'Cloverfield.' It's a great sci-fi flick for sure, but we've both seen it more than a few times. I told him to pick something he hadn't seen for once, and after a few minutes of scrolling, he landed on 'Cargo,' which still fits our tastes. I'd seen it back when I first wrote about it as a great watch for anyone excited about '28 Years Later,' and I remember really enjoying it. So I was pretty keen to revisit it. 'Cargo' is a fitting movie because at its core, it's about a dad doing everything he can to protect his child even when time's running out. It's intense and emotional without being overly sentimental, and it's perfect for anyone who also enjoys gripping thrillers. I can confidently say (in my opinion, of course) that it's Martin Freeman's best role. So, if you're looking for a Father's Day movie that delivers both adrenaline and emotion, here's why 'Cargo' is worth adding to your Netflix watchlist. Cargo follows Andy (Martin Freeman) and their infant daughter Rosie as they navigate a post-apocalyptic Australia ravaged by a deadly virus that transforms people into infected creatures. Their safety is compromised when Andy is bitten by an infected individual. As the virus progresses, he realizes he has only 48 hours before he succumbs to the infection. Determined to ensure his daughter's survival, Andy goes on a dangerous journey across the Australian outback to find someone willing to care for Rosie. Along the way, he encounters various survivors, including a young Aboriginal girl named Thoomi (Simone Landers), who is also dealing with the loss of her father to the infection. Andy's quest leads him through desolate landscapes and abandoned towns, all while trying to protect Rosie and find a safe haven for her future. Set against the dry, desolate backdrop of the Australian outback and beautifully shot by seasoned cinematographer Geoffrey Simpson, 'Cargo' is anchored by a deeply human and emotionally grounded performance from Martin Freeman. He stars as Andy, a soft-spoken but determined father making a dangerous journey with only his infant daughter, Rosie, by his side (or rather, on his back). Freeman is usually cast as the comic relief or plays second fiddle, but in this thriller, there's solid evidence that he is more than capable of leading a movie on his own. And he brings a surprising amount of emotion to this apocalyptic story, enough to have you reaching for tissues. Story-wise, it leans more toward a thoughtful, character-focused narrative than your typical chaotic zombie bloodbath. It might not fully scratch the itch for hardcore horror-thriller fans, but the eerie atmosphere and slow-building tension should be enough to keep you engaged, even when the middle portion of the movie slows down to focus on Andy's struggle. In 'Cargo,' the zombies aren't front and center either. They're definitely present, but more as a constant, looming danger than the main focus. Instead of driving the action, they linger in the background, allowing the story to zero in on the human side of survival. This shift ultimately works in the movie's favor, spotlighting the ways people respond under pressure as well as just how far someone will go to protect the ones they love. In this case, Andy will do anything and everything to find his daughter a home before he succumbs to the infection. The gore, when it does appear, is used sparingly and with purpose. So don't worry, zombie lovers, there are still scenes where the infected transform in all their grotesque, oozing glory, and even a moment where entrails are tossed into a cage to bait the infected. Thankfully, these scenes have meaning and aren't thrown in for the sake of ticking off a genre trope. Most of all, 'Cargo' ended up being a surprisingly perfect Father's Day pick. There's tension, survival, a bit of gore for the horror fans, and just enough heart to make you think about the people you'd do anything for. Watching it (again) with my own dad somehow made it land even harder. If you're looking for a solid movie to watch with your dad on Father's Day, 'Cargo' is a great pick. It's got enough suspense and action to keep things interesting without going over the top. Plus, it's fitting for the occasion considering the story focuses on a dad trying to protect his daughter in some seriously tough circumstances, which makes it feel deeply personal (and very emotional). Those seeking more proof that this movie is good will only have to glance at its 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The site's critics consensus reads: 'Cargo takes a refreshingly character-driven approach to the zombie genre that's further distinguished by its Australian setting and Martin Freeman's terrific lead performance.' 'Cargo' is available to stream on Netflix. For even more streaming recommendations (and potential Father's Day picks), check out these five thriller movies.
