VW ID.Buzz Level 4

By 2025, Volkswagen intends to commercialize the electric van, ID.Buzz Level 4. The car is currently in the testing phase and will use Argo AI technology.

The presentation of the autonomous ID.Buzz vehicle will be in Qatar in 2022. It will be used in public transport on certain routes during the World Cup.

Volkswagen says that the commercial use of the van will be similar to that used by another company within the Volkswagen Group – Moia. ID.Buzz will only operate in certain areas.

Volkswagen is the first company to offer this level of automation. Honda claims that the new generation of Legend sedan will use level 3, in Japan. Late last year, General Motors began testing level 4 in San Francisco.

The standard BMW X6 M has a 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 625 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough for this SUV.

This upgrade will cost you an additional $ 20,000. The listed price does not include good-looking add-ons like the ones in the photo.

The tuned X6 M is expected to accelerate from 0 – 62 mph in less than 3.8 seconds.

The X6 M features a lowered suspension setup, as well as new decals all around and carbon fiber aero bits. G-Power also offers 23-inch wheels with high-performance tires, 315/25.
