FYI: Volkswagen’s long-awaited ID. Buzz makes its U.S. debut, bringing nostalgic design to the modern EV market.

The Arrival of the Electric VW Bus

After what feels like ages, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz has finally reached U.S. shores, debuting in California this week. The concept was first revealed back in January 2017, making its market debut a significant milestone amidst a backdrop of postponed releases in the industry, including the Tesla Cybertruck which managed to roll out to American customers a year before the VW electric bus.

A Nod to Nostalgia Tailored for California

The current U.S. test drive is happening in the heart of Silicon Valley, San Francisco. InsideEVs’ Mack Hogan is sharing his first-hand impressions. Hogan, a local Californian, surfer, and camper, epitomizes the ID. Buzz’s target audience. With a keen eye for detail developed as a seasoned car critic—and as an owner of a Chevy Blazer EV—Hogan is more than qualified to assess this latest electrified offering.

An Eye-Catching Design with Evolving Specs

Despite earlier releases in Europe during summer 2022, the ID. Buzz’s specs stir mixed reactions in the United States. Its starting price hovers around $59,995, excluding fees, catering to customers who place a premium on style. The EPA-estimated electric range clocks in at 234 miles for rear-wheel drive and slightly less for all-wheel-drive models, thanks to a 91 kWh battery pack. Given these numbers, coupled with additional features, potential buyers may see their price tick up to $70,000—a far cry from the budget-friendly vans of the ’60s and ’70s.

Chasing Its Unique Niche

Though not a leader in range specs, the ID. Buzz appeals with its charm and distinctiveness. Past observations of its European variant suggest that while range might not be record-breaking, the model wins hearts effortlessly, gathering looks with its modern yet nostalgic appearance.

Engagement and Anticipation

As the ID. Buzz continues to make waves, readers and enthusiasts are invited to share their queries and thoughts. For more insights and updates, reach out to us at tips@automotive.fyi, or on Twitter @automotivefyi. Follow along as we delve deeper into our exploration of the ID. Buzz—our full review and in-depth analyses are just around the corner.

In Summary

While its specifications may not break records, it offers a significant visual appeal tailored specifically for those who appreciate distinctive design.
