Volkswagen ID.Buzz

The Volkswagen ID.Buzz is a modern electric interpretation of the iconic VW Type 2 and has quickly become one of the most recognisable electric MPVs on the market.

Volkswagen introduced a long-wheelbase version of the ID.Buzz with seating for up to seven passengers. The larger version offers multiple seating layouts, including five-seat, six-seat, and seven-seat configurations, making it suitable for growing families and group travel.

The extended wheelbase also allows space for a larger battery pack and increased range compared to the standard model, while the additional power improves overall performance and motorway driving capability.

Zeekr 009

The Zeekr 009 is a luxury electric MPV developed by Chinese manufacturer Zeekr, part of the Geely automotive group.

Designed with comfort in mind, the cabin features three rows of premium seating, high-end interior materials, and a large rear entertainment display for passengers. Its substantial battery capacity delivers an impressive driving range, helping position it as one of the longest-range electric MPVs currently available.

The dual-motor setup also provides strong performance and smooth acceleration despite the vehicle’s large size.

Volvo EM90

The Volvo EM90 is Volvo’s premium electric people carrier, designed to prioritise passenger comfort and interior space.

The cabin focuses heavily on relaxation and practicality, featuring lounge-style seating, a large rear infotainment screen, and flexible interior configurations suitable for family journeys or executive transport.

The EM90 combines Scandinavian-inspired design with a fully electric drivetrain and a substantial battery pack capable of delivering long-distance driving range.

LEVC L380

The LEVC L380 is an eight-seat electric MPV produced by the London Electric Vehicle Company.

Built using advanced electric vehicle architecture, the L380 focuses on passenger space, efficiency, charging capability, and connectivity features. Buyers are expected to have a choice of battery sizes, with larger battery versions offering significant driving range suitable for long journeys and family use.

Its spacious layout and premium positioning make it a notable entrant into the growing electric MPV market.

Zeekr Mix

The Zeekr Mix takes a more unconventional approach to electric MPV design.

The vehicle has been designed to maximise interior space by reducing structural barriers within the cabin and introducing flexible seating arrangements. Features such as sliding doors and rotating seats help create a highly adaptable interior for families, social use, or business travel.

Its large battery capacity is also expected to provide substantial range between charges, helping support practical day-to-day usability.

The future of electric MPVs

Electric MPVs are helping reshape family transport by combining practicality, flexibility, and low-emission driving. As battery technology improves and charging infrastructure continues to expand, more manufacturers are expected to enter the electric MPV market with new models aimed at families and business users alike.
