Volkswagen has finally revealed the long-awaited North American version of its electric ID. Buzz. The American reimagining of the classic Microbus is longer, with a third row of seats, a more powerful motor, and a higher-capacity battery.
It’s been 8 years since Volkswagen first showed off the concept for the electric retro Buzz. In August 2017, the Buzz was confirmed for production. Yet, VW has kept everyone waiting. In the U.S. and Canada, it’s even been an extra year since the short-wheelbase model went on sale in the rest of the world. But it’s finally almost here.
Bigger Buzz for Bigger Adventures
At 117.6 inches, the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz for North America has an extra 10 inches of wheelbase. That makes it 194.4 inches long overall, the same 10 inches over the two-row Buzz.
The ID. Buzz is as wide as a Volkswagen Atlas big crossover and 10 inches shorter. It’s almost 30 inches longer than the original, but it keeps the ultrashort overhangs and boxy shape of that classic VW bus.
Volkswagen didn’t give a cargo capacity figure for the ID. Buzz at launch. But the Euro short-wheelbase version’s boxy cabin can hold about 78 cubic feet of stuff. Expect our Buzz to be into the 90s. The second and third rows fold flat, with an available Flexboard making for a completely flat floor. The third row can also be removed completely.
