The Volkswagen ID Buzz is on its way, and Volkswagen hopes that as it is reinvented for the age of electric vehicles, it will attain a lot of attention. Volkswagen ID Buzz is set to arrive in the United States in 2023, and VW claims that the electric vehicle will be fully autonomous by 2025, which is very exciting. There will also be a spacious interior, a high-tech cockpit, and seating for up to 5-7 adults. So far, it appears that the original VW minivan has been given a complete sci-fi pulp makeover. While the pickup is still some time away and details are scarce, here’s what we know so far.
Volkswagen ID Buzz
After five years of teasing, the Volkswagen ID Buzz has finally made its debut of its Microbus Type 2. The Volkswagen ID Buzz and its commercial counterpart, the ID Buzz Cargo, will be available in Europe later this year, with a longer wheelbase version for US markets set to debut in 2023 and go on sale in 2024. We still don’t know a lot of details, most notably the price.
The Buzz ID, on the other hand, will be critical as VW continues its transformation from traditional engine vehicles to electric vehicle leader. The van will be one of the first electric vans marketed specifically for families and will serve as a showcase for the company’s MEB modular electric architecture.

ID buzz Electric Van Power, Range, Battery Capacity
The initial ID Buzz model includes a standard 77kWh battery that is completely hidden in the floor structure to provide what Volkswagen calls “a relatively low center of gravity for a van of this size. The power is supplied by a synchronous electric motor mounted inside the rear axle, which produces 201 bhp. A fixed-ratio gearbox transmits power to the rear wheels.
The Volkswagen ID buzz Electric Van has a range of 245-490 kilometers. The battery can be charged at 11 kW using household electricity, 22 kW using an AC system, and 170 kW using a DC system. The Buzz ID can communicate credit card information with the battery charger on special stations via the Plug and Charge function. ID Buzz also supports two-way charging on a DC wall box, allowing you to use it to power devices or recharge household batteries.
ID Buzz EV Design Dimensions and Boot Space
Volkswagen plans to launch a seven-seat long-wheelbase variant in 2023, in addition to the initial five-seat standard-wheelbase model. Both have conventionally hinged front doors and sliding doors (electric optional) on both sides at the back, as well as a large vertical tailgate that opens at bumper level. The Volkswagen id buzz EV Cargo is available with one or two sliding doors and a single, upward-swinging tailgate, or with windowless hinged doors that open on steel hinges visible from both sides.
The production version, which is based on Volkswagen’s versatile MEB electric car platform, has a square profile similar to the previous concept but is more angular overall. It also gets a slightly recessed windshield for better impact protection and aerodynamic efficiency.
The rear seat folds down in a 60/40 configuration, but it cannot be removed to expand the boot capacity, which is 1,121 liters under the boot curtain in the standard wheelbase model and expands to 2,205 liters with the rear seat. The load floor isn’t completely flat, but Volkswagen says an optional raised floor will be available for the ID Buzz. Customers will be able to convert the back into a bed as a result of this.
The trunk’s total volume is 3.9 cubic meters for the utility version. The maximum load length, height, and width are respectively 2200mm, 1250mm, and 1700mm. The cabin and the load compartment are separated by a partition wall (with an optional window). To keep the goods secure, there are also lashing rails and up to six lashing eyes.
Volkswagen ID Buzz Interior and Infotainment
The interior appears to be a big hit. Leather was replaced with a “non-animal” material. High seat positions, comfortable armrests, a plethora of storage trays, and more ports than you can plug into a USB stick are among the appointments: five in the Cargo and eight in the Buzz.
The “Digital Cockpit” in front of the driver is a 5.30-inch screen, and the infotainment system’s touchscreen, which can be specified up to 12 inches, is in the center of the dashboard. The majority of physical switches have been removed, as the car relies on buttons and touchscreens for the majority of its functions.
Fortunately, VW claims to have improved its touch responsiveness, which is a good thing if previous models are anything to go by. Ambient lighting can be changed to one of 30 different colors.
The ID Buzz will also have more than 30 assistance systems, including “Car2X” communication, at the highest level of specification. The Buzz will download data from nearby Volkswagens via the cloud and will most likely inquire about nearby hazards or traffic.
Volkswagen Electric Van Price
Expect to hear official pricing sometime this summer, though it will almost certainly be more expensive than the recently revealed VW T7 Multivan. This starts at around £43,000 and goes up from there. Volkswagen has no plans to launch id buzz EV in India any time soon.
Volkswagen intends to open reservation books for Volkswagen ID Buzz EV in the United States in 2023. We’ll update this article with more information as it becomes available, so be in touch with this page to know further updates about Volkswagen ID Buzz
