2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz: What We Know So Far – The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz intends to target a market that is virtually unexplored. This is because electric cars are becoming more commonplace every year, but there are few spacious electric vehicle alternatives for families. The Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus, sometimes known as the VW Bus for its abbreviated form, was the source of inspiration for the vintage styling of the new ID. Buzz. Its design was memorialized in the ID. Buzz. In addition to its one-of-a-kind retro external look, the large interior of this vehicle will have adjustable seats and three rows of seating.
The all-electric engine of the ID. Buzz will be available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, and it will give a driving range that is anticipated to be in the neighborhood of 260 miles. Volkswagen claims that when the van is connected to a DC fast charger, the battery can be charged from 5% to 80% of its capacity in under 30 minutes. In the long run, the business also intends to launch its plug-and-charge technology. This system would, in essence, do away with the need that users to pay using a credit card or an app in order to open the charger.
Review
It has been a long time coming, but the Volkswagen van will finally be available for purchase on American soil in 2024 when the ID. Buzz goes on sale in the United States. Even though we are already in possession of official photographs of the new microbus, the manufacturer has not yet provided a great deal of information, particularly in reference to the American version. Nevertheless, a significant portion of that material is expected to start being disclosed around the latter half of this year, if not sooner.
The ID. Buzz will be supported by Volkswagen’s Modular Electric Drive (MEB) platform, which is presently used as the foundation for other Volkswagen Group vehicles such as the Audi e-tron crossover and the Volkswagen ID.4 crossover. While Europe will receive both a passenger and a commercial version of the ID. Buzz, the sole passenger model that will be available in the United States will have a longer wheelbase. The entry-level model will be equipped with a single electric motor that is positioned in the trunk and produces 201 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque. In the long run, the selection will also be expanded to include a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version with around 295 horsepower, very much like the existing ID.4 model. We had driven a European model of the passenger van, which, although having a shorter wheelbase and a smaller battery than the one we’ll receive in the United States, provided us a better notion of what to anticipate once we get our hands on the American model.
Volkswagen has not disclosed a lot of information regarding the battery pack that will be used in the ID. Buzz, especially the one that will be used in cars sold in the United States. The only thing the firm has mentioned about the battery is that it will be bigger than the 77-kWh pack that will be used to power the new European model. We anticipate the battery life of the American ID. Buzz will allow it to go at least 260 miles on a single charge. VW claims that users who connect their vehicles to a DC fast charger will be able to get a charge of between 5 and 80 percent in as little as thirty minutes.
Interior
The vastness and adaptability of the ID. Buzz’s interior is one of the device’s most distinguishing characteristics. The backrests of the front seats fold down to reveal tables that may be used by passengers in the back seat. The armrests of the front seats can also be adjusted. In addition to it, there is a central console that can be removed from between the front seats. Volkswagen states that the version sold in the United States comes standard with three rows of seats and enough room for seven people. There is also the option of installing a load floor that is movable in the cargo compartment, which provides an additional 40 cubic feet of storage capacity. One of the most notable basic features of the ID. Buzz is a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, but the most desirable optional additions are programmable ambient lighting and front seats that massage the driver and front passenger.
A touchscreen that emerges from the center of the dashboard serves as the primary input device for the infotainment system in the Volkswagen van. The display comes basic at 10 inches but you also have the option of upgrading to a 12-inch screen. Additionally, we anticipate that the ID. Buzz will come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as maybe some form of entertainment system for the back seats. A wireless device charging station and a Wi-Fi hotspot that requires a subscription should also be on the list of amenities.
Price
Volkswagen has not yet provided information on the price of the ID. Buzz or the several trim levels that will be available. The prices of electric vehicles on the market today, however, lead us to believe that their prices will begin at around $40,000.
