2024 Volkswagen ID.Buzz

Price: We expect 2024 Volkswagen ID. Buzz pricing to start at around $45,000 when it goes on sale in North America in 2024.

The 2024 Volkswagen ID. Buzz Microbus is a brand-new, all-electric minivan with seating for up to seven and a range of about 275 miles.

Since the new ID. Buzz will no doubt attract interest as a family vehicle, potential buyers will be caring about the future and how it might look for their kids. Volkswagen is using sustainable materials for the cabin, including recycled plastic retrieved from the sea. So it’s already making the world a slightly better place.

The company also employs batteries that do not use cobalt, an element with troublesome sourcing issues regarding environmental impact and working conditions. VW even has a facility that recycles high-voltage batteries after they’re no longer suitable for automotive applications.

Based on the same platform as the VW ID.4 and Audi e-tron electric SUVs, the ID. Buzz Microbus pays homage to the old VW bus (the Type 2) while pointing toward the future by using an electric drivetrain.

At the time of compiling this review, Volkswagen had yet to release pertinent facts like pricing and range for versions sold in the United States.

We do know that the U.S. version will have a longer wheelbase than the 2-row 5-seat European I.D. Buzz. It will have three rows of seats in a 2-3-2 seating configuration. All-wheel-drive (AWD) is a distinct possibility for the U.S. version, which — in base form — will be a rear-wheel-drive model with a rear-mounted motor.
