The design of the ID.Buzz commemorates the German company's iconic Type 2 Microbus—or VW Bus for short—which inspired the new van's retro design. Along with its uniquely nostalgic exterior aesthetic, its spacious cabin will feature flexible seating and three rows. The ID.Buzz's all-electric powertrain will come in rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations, delivering a driving range that's expected to be around 260 miles. Plugged into a DC fast-charger, VW says the van will be able to charge its battery from 10 to 80 percent in 30 minutes. The company also eventually plans to introduce its plug-and-charge technology that essentially eliminates the need to use an app or a card for payment to unlock the charger. What's New for 2025? When the ID.Buzz goes on sale in the U.S. in fall 2024, it'll mark the Volkswagen van's long-awaited return to our shores. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz is expected to start around $40.000. ID.Buzz: $40,000 (est) VW hasn't said how much the ID.Buzz will cost or what trim levels will be offered. However, current market pricing for EVs leads us to expect it will start at around $40,000. EV Motor, Power, and Performance The ID.Buzz will ride on Volkswagen's Modular Electric Drive (MEB) platform that currently underpins corporate products such as the Audi Q4 e-tron crossover and the VW ID.4 crossover. While Europe will get both a commercial and passenger version of the ID.Buzz, America will only get a long-wheelbase passenger one. The base model features a single, rear-mounted electric motor that makes 282 horsepower. A dual-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration with around 330 horsepower is also offered. We've driven a European version of the passenger van, which has a shorter wheelbase and smaller battery than the one we'll get in the U.S., but it still gave us a better idea of what to expect. Range, Charging, and Battery Life The ID.Buzz comes with an 86.0-kWh battery pack as standard, but Volkswagen hasn't revealed a driving range just yet. We expect the ID.Buzz will have at least 260 miles of range per charge. VW claims that those who plug into a DC fast-charger will be able to charge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 30 minutes. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe Fuel economy estimates for the ID.Buzz have not yet been released by the EPA. When we get a chance, we'll take the ID.Buzz on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route and update this story with test results.

The front seats feature adjustable armrests as well as tables that fold out of the backrests for rear-seat passengers. There's also a removable center console between the front seats. The U.S. version features three rows of seats with space for seven riders; a pair of second-row captain's chairs are available but drop capacity to six passengers. The ID.Buzz's standout standard features include a 10.0-inch digital gauge cluster, customizable ambient lighting, and a set of massaging front seats.
