In this review by TheStraightPipes, they take a deep dive into the 2025 Volkswagen Buzz, a striking electric bus that oozes retro charm reminiscent of the classic Volkswagen bus. With 335 horsepower, a 91 KW battery, and a range of 373 km, this modern-day interpretation of a beloved classic certainly packs a punch. The team is enamored with the design, particularly the two-tone color scheme and the eye-catching '60s-style wheels that add a touch of nostalgia to the overall aesthetic. They draw comparisons to their parents' old Volkswagen bus, evoking fond memories of the past.
Despite the delayed release of the Buzz since its 2017 concept debut, TheStraightPipes find that Volkswagen has nailed the design and functionality of the vehicle. The spacious interior, accommodating three rows and comfortably fitting adults, receives high praise from the team. They delve into the unique features of the Buzz, such as the removable 'buzz box' and the innovative glass panel roof that can be adjusted to control light intake. However, the team expresses disappointment in the high price point, starting at $77,495, which they deem unaffordable despite initial promises of affordability from the CEO.
The team further explores the quirky and fun aspects of the Volkswagen Buzz, from the drive and brake shifters on the steering column to the white interior that adds to the car's unique vibe. They discuss the potential impact of a design refresh on the Buzz, cautioning against unnecessary changes that could detract from its current appeal. Despite some criticisms, TheStraightPipes ultimately commend Volkswagen for creating a vehicle that successfully blends retro charm with modern technology, offering a refreshing take on the classic bus design.
