Volkswagen's Iconic ID Buzz Electric Van Arrives in the US

The long-awaited electric minivan combines nostalgic design with modern features, but its range may disappoint some buyers.

  • The Volkswagen ID Buzz, first unveiled in 2017, is now available in the US after two years on European roads.
  • The electric van's range is estimated at 231 to 234 miles, which is lower than some competitors like the Kia EV9.
  • The ID Buzz offers both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive options, with prices starting at $59,995 for the base model.
  • Notable features include a spacious interior with flexible seating for six or seven, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, and multiple USB-C ports.
  • While the van's nostalgic design and utility are praised, its range and entry price may limit its appeal to a niche market.
