Volkswagen announced pricing and the EPA-estimated range for the ID. Buzz, the classic Microbus’s electric reincarnation, debuting within the U.S. later this 12 months.
At 100% charge, rear-wheel-drive models will offer 234 miles of EPA-estimated range, and 4Motion all-wheel-drive models will offer 231 miles of EPA-estimated range.
Pricing for the ID. Buzz models will start with the Pro S at an MSRP of $59,995, the Pro S Plus at $63,495, and the launch-only 1st Edition at $65,495.
Interior and Exterior Elements
The ID. Buzz interior is available in three color palettes alongside exterior colours exclusive to the North American models. The outside features an oversized VW logo, short overhangs, and an expansive greenhouse.
Interior colours include:
- Copper: Features brown leatherette seats with yellow piping, brown door inserts, and a washed wood dash.
- Dune: First seen on the ID. Buzz reveal in 2023 pairs light grey leatherette seats with clay-colored piping, door inserts, and a lightweight wood dash.
- Moonlight: Features dark brown leatherette seats with white piping, blue door inserts, and a dark wood dash paired with a black headliner.
ID. Buzz Lineup
The ID. Buzz is available in Pro S, Pro S Plus, and launch-only 1st Edition trims. The Pro S is a rear-wheel-drive-only model with a second-row bench seat to accommodate as much as seven passengers. Standard features include a 12.9-inch infotainment display, a 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless app connection and phone charging, a 12V trunk outlet, and a 150W 110V passenger seat outlet.
Standard driver-assistance technology includes:
- Front and rear Park Distance Control (PDC)
- Park Assist Plus with Memory Parking (not available in Puerto Rico)
- Dynamic Road Sign Display
- Light Assist
The Pro S Plus features a 4Motion AWD option and encompasses a head-up display projecting key information in front of the driving force. Area View uses the automotive’s cameras to complement the driving force’s view of what’s across the vehicle. An available Flexboard with two fabric storage bins creates a flat floor when the seats are folded.
When retracted, a manually retractable tow hitch is totally hidden behind the rear bumper — tow rankings and full specifications will probably be available closer to launch.
The greenhouse could be upgraded by an electrochromic panoramic smart glass roof available for a further $1,495, which may change from transparent to opaque.
The launch-only 1st Edition offers a special color palette and two-tone paint. This trim comes standard with the electrochromic panoramic glass roof, Area View, 700-watt harman/kardon sound system, Flexboard, easy/open sliding doors, and tailgate found on the Pro S Plus.
Rear-wheel-drive 1st Edition models only offer a rear bench, while 4Motion 1st Edition models only offer captains chairs.
