In this electrifying review by Doug DeMuro, we dive into the 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz, a modern take on the iconic Volkswagen bus. Priced at around $61,500 for the base model, this electric van packs a punch with 280 horsepower and 235 miles of range, making it a stylish yet practical choice for those looking to stand out on the road. The ID Buzz's design pays homage to its classic predecessor, capturing the essence of the original Volkswagen bus while offering a range of modern features and quirks that set it apart from traditional vans.
Stepping inside the ID Buzz, you're greeted with a mix of retro charm and futuristic technology. From the playful play and pause buttons on the pedals to the removable center console with hidden compartments, every detail exudes a sense of fun and functionality. The spacious interior offers ample seating room, with configurable second-row seats and a third row that rivals larger vehicles like the Chevy Suburban in terms of space. However, the lack of cup holders in the second row is a puzzling oversight in an otherwise thoughtfully designed cabin.
On the road, the ID Buzz delivers a smooth and quiet ride befitting its electric powertrain. The giant glass roof panel adds a touch of luxury, allowing passengers to control its transparency with a simple swipe. Practical features like power sliding doors and multiple storage compartments enhance the overall user experience, while the heads-up display provides essential information at a glance. Despite some minor drawbacks such as the subpar backup camera quality and cumbersome climate controls, the ID Buzz shines as a unique and compelling option in the electric van market, blending style, practicality, and eco-friendliness in one eye-catching package.
