The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz marks the long-awaited return of the iconic Microbus, reimagined as an electric minivan. The ID.Buzz brings modern technology, a powerful dual-motor powertrain, and spacious seating to a vehicle that retains the unmistakable character of the original Type 2. Let’s dive deeper into its capabilities.
Innovation Redefined: The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz
All-Electric Powertrain
The ID.Buzz is available in two configurations: a single-motor rear-wheel drive setup or a dual-motor all-wheel drive version. The RWD version produces 282 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, and can spring to 60 mph in only 5.7 seconds. The AWD version is estimated to produce a combined output of 335 horsepower. The suspension system consists of MacPherson struts in the front and a multi-link independent rear suspension, which offers a stable ride over bumps.
Ample Room to Move
The ID.Buzz’s long wheelbase allows it to accommodate three rows of seating, along with significant cargo capacity. The standard seating arrangement is a 2-3-2 setup, with available second-row captain’s chairs that transform the middle bench into a 2-2-2 layout. Both the second and third rows can be folded or removed entirely to prioritize cargo space over passenger accommodation. With all seats in place, the ID.Buzz offers 40 cubic feet of cargo volume.
You have full control over your space, with adjustable armrests on the front seats, tables that fold out of the backrests, and a removable center console. Optional privacy shades and retractable window covers are available for rear-seat passengers, making it easy to spend nights in the van.
Vintage Inspiration With a Modern Twist
The design of the ID.Buzz pays tribute to the original Microbus, with signature front-end styling and two-tone paint options that pair white with bright yellow, orange, green, or blue. However, the van’s lighting is rooted firmly in modern technology, with standard LED headlights and taillights, illuminated VW logos, and a light bar across the front fascia.
Modern engineering also comes in the form of power-sliding side doors and an optional hands-free power liftgate. An optional panoramic glass roof with electrochromic dimming lets in natural light while keeping everyone protected from the elements.
Next-Generation Technology
Thankfully, the ID.Buzz’s technology is also rooted in the modern world. Centered on the dashboard is a 12.9-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and built-in voice control. Up to 8 USB-C ports found throughout the cabin keep everyone’s devices charged, no matter what seat they’re in. A premium Harman Kardon sound system with 13 speakers is an available upgrade that offers cinematic sound quality for road trips.
The innovative ID.Buzz provides a healthy dose of nostalgia while meeting modern expectations of vehicle ownership. It’s a minivan that stands out on the outside due to its unique design, and also on the inside due to its functional and spacious interior.
