The Volkswagen ID. Buzz will start at $59,995
Quick Glance: VW ID. Buzz: The New Electric Microbus Approaches
  • The Volkswagen ID. Buzz, the electric counterpart to the classic VW Microbus, will be available in the U.S. later this year. A standout feature of the vehicle is its over five-foot-long sunroof, which can switch from opaque to transparent at the touch of a button, allowing passengers to enjoy views of the sky.

  • Compared to the original model, the ID. Buzz offers modern conveniences such as massage seats and driver assistance technologies. The absence of a combustion engine has allowed for a space-saving design that meets contemporary safety standards while maintaining the iconic shape of the original.

  • The rear seats can fold down to create space for a sleeping area. With an estimated range of 234 miles for the rear-wheel-drive version and 231 miles for the all-wheel-drive model, the ID. Buzz can charge from 10% to 80% in just 26 minutes at fast-charging stations.

  • Visually, the ID. Buzz retains some resemblance to the original but has a more modern minivan appearance. Pricing starts at $59,995 and can go up to $65,495 for the exclusive 1st Edition. While driving the electric model is reportedly more enjoyable than the original, a full review remains under embargo until October.
