Volkswagen ID. Buzz: See it on our 2023 Concept Lawn
August 20, 2023
The ID. Buzz is the spiritual reincarnation of the classic VW Microbus, reimagined for the electrified future.
The ID. Buzz for the US market is nearly 10 inches longer overall than the current European model and has a third row of seats, allowing up to seven adults to sit in comfort.
Just like the original 1950 Volkswagen Microbus, the standard ID. Buzz has a rear-mounted powertrain—in this case, a 282 hp PSM motor that drives the rear wheels. There will also be an all-wheel-drive version, with a front electric motor, delivering a total of around 330 hp. Like all Volkswagen EV models, the ID. Buzz has an underfloor lithium-ion battery pack, which has 91 kWh of energy capacity.
The ID. Buzz is extremely well equipped, with power heated and ventilated front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, and an easy-open sliding rear hatch and second-row doors. An available electrochromic roof is an eye-catching feature.
With a 12.9-inch infotainment system, “Hello ID.” natural voice control, and the ID. Light system—a light strip that provides the driver with intuitive support—the ID. Buzz is loaded with technology.
The ID. Buzz will go on sale in 2024 as a 2025 model in the United States and Canada. There will be nothing like it on the road!
