Now, you can finally stop holding your breath. If you’re looking for an all-new version of the classic people-mover, the 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz is just getting ready to roll into U.S. showrooms.
The German automaker has done a surprisingly good job at picking up the classic Microbus design cues, starting with the blunt nose adorned with an oversized “VW” logo. And don’t let the new van’s relatively compact footprint fool you. The interior is surprisingly roomy.
But there are some notable differences, starting with Buzz’s all-electric drivetrain. And it’s no longer cheap transportation. After factoring in delivery fees, even the base model tops $60,000 — though it offers a lot of delightful features they couldn’t have even imagined during the Summer of Love.
In short: The 2025 VW ID.Buzz’s retro-futuristic looks are spot on; it’s got usable range and is surprisingly fun to drive. Creature comforts are impressive, and it’s big enough to throw a mattress in the back for some proper VW van camping.
