The Volkswagen ID Buzz Is Finally Here. We Took the Electric Microbus for a Drive

Summary

58% Informative

Volkswagen announced the ID Buzz concept in 2017 that the iconic VW bus was returning to the market as an electric van.

The vehicle's EPA range numbers are sure to harsh some mellows, but it should be more than adequate for road trips.

The low center of gravity of the battery pack helps the vehicle feel nimble around corners.

The ID Buzz has 146 cubic feet of cargo space, one cubic foot more than a Chevy Suburban and five more than the Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid.

All three rows can be slid forward or back to adjust for legroom and storage.

The 12.9-inch display was easy to use, navigate, and had little in the way of latency.

The ID Buzz is a fun-to-drive nostalgia machine with enough storage and utility to make it a solid weekend hauler for families who enjoy an active lifestyle.

Volkswagen is building all its ID Buzzes at a single factory in Hanover , Germany .

US buyers cannot claim an EV purchase tax credit, since the Inflation Reduction Act requires vehicles to be assembled in North America .
