What Makes the VW ID Buzz So Special?

The VW ID Buzz is more than just an electric vehicle—it celebrates Volkswagen’s heritage, blending iconic design with state-of-the-art technology. Here’s why the ID Buzz stands out:

Nostalgic Yet Contemporary Aesthetics

The VW ID Buzz captures the heart of the 1960s VW Microbus while incorporating modern touches that make it a head-turner on today’s roads.

  • Two-tone paint job: Available in vibrant colors like Cabana Blue and Pomelo Yellow, the ID Buzz’s two-tone paint evokes the playful spirit of the original Microbus. These bold, retro hues reflect its past, and make it easy to spot!
  • Retro design details: The oversized VW logo prominently displayed on the front, combined with the vehicle’s rounded, boxy profile, perfectly reflects the nostalgic charm of the original. Its design brings a smile to everyone who remembers the cultural impact of the first VW bus.
  • Modern updates: While the design recalls the past, sleek lines, LED lighting, and contemporary finishes bring the ID Buzz into the future. The balance of retro and modern elements gives it universal appeal, making it both a tribute to Volkswagen’s history and a bold step forward in electric mobility.

Spacious, Family-Friendly Interior

The interior of the VW ID Buzz is as functional as it is fun, offering flexibility and comfort for short drives and long adventures.

  • Seating for six or seven: The ID Buzz offers flexible seating arrangements, making it a versatile option for families, road trips, and group outings. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend getaway or shuttling the kids to school, the interior easily adapts to your needs.
  • Plenty of cargo space: Need more room for luggage, camping gear, or a surfboard? The interior can easily be reconfigured for larger loads, making the ID Buzz perfect for adventurers and families.
  • Comfortable cabin: Long journeys are a breeze with ample legroom and headroom for passengers in all rows. The well-designed cabin ensures that everyone in the front or back enjoys a comfortable and spacious ride.

Electric Performance and Sustainability

Beneath its retro-inspired exterior, the VW ID Buzz boasts cutting-edge electric performance. It provides an eco-friendly alternative to traditional gas-powered vans. It’s powerful, efficient, and designed for today’s environmentally conscious drivers.

  • Power options:

    • Dual-motor, all-wheel drive: For those who want more power and control, the AWD version delivers 330 horsepower, making it capable of handling stricter terrain and longer journeys.
  • Battery and range:
    • With an 86 kWh battery the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) ID. Buzz models are estimated to travel 234 miles, while the all-wheel-drive (AWD) 4Motion® models deliver a close 231-mile range.
    • When you need to charge, the fast-charging capability gets you from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes, so you can spend less time waiting and more time driving.

How Much Will the VW ID Buzz Cost?

The VW ID Buzz has a starting MSRP of $59,995 for the base model RWD, with top trim packages expected to reach over $70k, depending on the configuration. Since dealer allocations are going to slim to start, expect markups from the dealers for the first few months.

When Will the VW ID Buzz Be Available in the U.S.?

The VW ID Buzz will make its U.S. debut in late  2024. It marks an exciting moment for American buyers eagerly anticipating Volkswagen’s electric revival of the iconic Microbus.

There are some key differences between the U.S. and European versions:

  • The U.S. model will have a longer wheelbase, providing extra seating capacity and interior space.
  • Third-row seating will be standard in the U.S. version, making it ideal for larger families or those needing more room for passengers.

These modifications make the U.S. ID Buzz a larger, more versatile vehicle than its European counterpart, launched earlier with a shorter wheelbase and two rows of seating.
