About the Volkswagen ID. Buzz
One of the greatest icons in automotive history is making a triumphant return to the United States. The all-new Volkswagen ID. Buzz carries on the beloved tradition of the original T1 Microbus while simultaneously shifting its attention towards the all-electric future of driving. Capitalizing on its utilitarian roots, the interior layout of the ID. Buzz offers a variety of applications for carrying both cargo and passengers. Positioned low within the chassis, its specialized 82 kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery supplements a 201-horsepower electric motor to deliver an impressive 229 lb-ft of torque. Instantly recognizable from the exterior, you’ll have your choice of expressive two-tone exterior color combinations to reflect your own unique personality. Sustainably-sourced materials demonstrate the Volkswagen commitment towards the future of all-electric travel and the next generation of mobility.
What the Critics Say
“Like the New Beetle, the ID. Buzz was never supposed to be a bare-bones reboot of the original, value-based formula. Without that, though, it needed another mission. The obvious one was as the ultimate vehicle for iconoclastic adventurers who love the outdoors. What VW delivered was a solid van, with a great design.” – Inside EVs
“The low center of gravity, shocks that deliver good body control, and a new multilink rear axle with a lower roll center help the ID Buzz feel composed when hustled along a winding two-lane. Despite the relatively high seating position, head toss is commendably low, increasing passenger comfort.” – MotorTrend

Electrified Performance
Engineered with a sophisticated all-electric powertrain, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz benefits from the adaptability of the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB). Powering the ID.
