What We Know So Far About the VW ID.Buzz

A Bold New Statement in EV Vehicles Coming to a Volkswagen Dealer Near You

If you’ve been browsing terms like “new car dealerships near me,” then you already know Volkswagen carries a highlight reel of sedans and SUVs that are designed to turn heads in traffic. Are you looking for the perfect small and speedy whip that’ll tear through hairpin turns like tissue paper? Our Golf GTI has you covered. What about a super-sized behemoth of an SUV with enough interior space to handle even the largest of families? The seven-seater VW Atlas is the perfect SUV for you. Thinking about finally making the switch to electric? The eco-friendly VW ID.4 is your answer to finally getting away from those budget-busting gas pumps. It was also recently named the 2021 World Car of the Year.

Here at Volkswagen Cypress, we have cars and SUVs for everyone. And we’re so excited about what Volkswagen has planned for the future. If you haven’t yet heard about the upcoming VW ID.Buzz, then we’re here to tell you the future looks very bright.

The VW ID.Buzz – From Concept to Reality

When Volkswagen originally released the all-electric VW ID.4, that marked our first official effort in the EV space. Fortunately, we knocked that one out of the park and it’s been next to impossible to keep these on the lot. They’re THAT popular. However, the VW ID.4 was never intended to be a one-and-done or a “let’s wait and see how this one pans out” type of vehicle.

The plan has always been to grow our presence in the EV space, one fantastic vehicle at a time. The VW ID.Buzz is shaping up to be our next big thing. Nostalgically modeled after the classic VW Type 2 Microbus (aka the VW Bus), the VW ID.Buzz borrows design elements from generations past with a future-forward spin that’s sure to please those looking for a vehicle with a contemporary vibe. It’s totally retro and trendsetting at the same time. It reinvents the idea of the common van, elevating it to something car-buyers will look up and take notice of.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait – What to Expect from the VW ID.Buzz

Concept vehicles are a lot like Marvel movie trailers: they cause a lot of wild speculation after only offering a small sample. That has been the case so far with the VW ID.Buzz ever since it debuted at the Detroit Auto Show way back in 2017. Based on the very little people have seen thus far, we have a pretty solid idea of the direction Volkswagen wants to take this elongated all-electric concept.

1. Expect an improvement in single charge distance over the VW ID.4: The VW ID.4 affords drivers about 260 on a single charge – which is good – but Volkswagen wouldn’t be doing their job if they weren’t upping the ante with their next generation of EV vehicles. Although not officially confirmed, it’s expected that the ID.Buzz will use a bigger battery pack, which would in turn offer more mileage. Just like the Type 2 Microbus of old, VW is angling for the ID.Buzz to be a family-friendly cross country traveler.
2. Preliminary reports indicate the ID.Buzz will be available in two models: A few spec models have been showcased for both the European market and U.S. buyers. As of right now, U.S. spec models indicate the ID.Buzz will be available in a base model that’s rear-wheel drive (200 horsepower) and an upgraded all-wheel drive dual motor model (300 horsepower).
3. The ID.Buzz will reach U.S. Volkswagen dealers like Volkswagen Cypress by 2023: Out of all the speculation that’s floating around out there about the VW ID.Buzz, the release timeframe is one of the few bits of info that Volkswagen has confirmed. The 2024 model should arrive on U.S. shores by 2023. So, if you’ve been holding out for an electric and future-forward rendition of a van, you only need to hold out about a year longer.
