The Volkswagen ID.Buzz is an all-electric van that's been tailored for North America. It has three rows of seating, optional all-wheel drive, and up to 330 hp. But is this version for real? Despite being introduced as a concept vehicle in 2016, the ID.Buzz has yet to hit the road here in the U.S.

"From my seating position I cannot see the front or the hood of the vehicle at all." Wait 'til this guy finds out there's no hood...

@tedunguent156 Месяц назад

It's so common these days to be unable to see beyond the base of the windshield anyway in anything other than a pickup or (true) SUV.

In the old VWs, the odd little window behind the A-pillar was called the wing window. Or sometimes it was called air conditioning.

@allankoivu3263 2 месяца назад

I remember them being called "no draft" window vents

one of my Neighbors had a old Type 2 in the 1980's , and me and his Daughter would play in it. I would sometimes hide where the Table was stowed. lol.

By the time ID BuZZ makes it to US, it will be time for a redesign.

@vvvvwwvvvv8843 2 месяца назад

I'm having a hard time getting excited for something they teased this long and that is bound to be super expensive. Still with the touch controls on the steering wheel, even after VW apologized for how misguided it was... Still with touch controls for HVAC while other manufacturers have already corrected for that mistake in their refreshed models... VW is huge and they move too slow. What happened to my former favorite automaker? They are clumsy in a market where they need to be nimble.

@lukerinderknecht2982 2 месяца назад

Ugh, it's a shame what's happened to VW.

@Krobra91 2 месяца назад

they may eventually do what they did with the ID4. If VW was smart, they would price their EVs to top out only at 35-40K for top level trim spec and sell in volume .. But technology to make EVs are so expensive i wonder whats to built one to really see if the MSRP price is worth it no doubt dealerships are going to overprice the vehicle and it will only hurt vw

@unconventionalideas5683 2 месяца назад

Some of their newer preproduction models have already dispensed with touch controls. But the complaints were too late for this model, which is already for sale in Europe.

@rmorales1029 2 месяца назад

With current EV prices dropping VW will need to price this accordingly or they won’t sell in today’s market. Don’t get greedy.

@donswier 2 месяца назад

PHEV or Range Extender would be awesome. Perfect for camping with its own onboard ICE generator. Hoping these OEMs see that the next wave of buyers aren't BEV absolutists.

@bikebudha01 2 месяца назад

Yeah, seams like all he needed to do was raise the seat. Would have given him more support under his thighs, and straightened out his legs. As he said, there was plenty of headroom to spare. Would have allowed him to see out the front better as well. (Although I'm pretty sure there is better frontal vision in this than say ANY TRUCK sold in America..)

@civgeek Месяц назад

Dude would have hated the original bus. Especially the stick shift.

@DKDSpider2 2 месяца назад

Saw the new electric VW bus at the Vancouver Auto Show in March 2024. They admitted it was an Italian model. Absolutely gorgeous exterior, kind of sparse interior. There are none released in North America - yet.

@RonaldDaviesRon Месяц назад

I put $100 down 3 years ago to get on a ordering list for the buzz. I just got call 2 days ago from the local VW dealer. They are allowed to order 4 that will be made in Germany for the us market to be delivered in November. He asked what color I wanted. He didn’t have all the spec details but claimed it was a 91 kWh battery AWD. I will have the option once it gets closer to buy it. We’ll see if I get it this year.

@DanielLehmann 2 месяца назад

I hope 2:30 is an indication that they're changing to NACS, which would be very welcome. I hope they also move the port to the left - otherwise owners are going to be quite unpopular at superchargers, as they're going to be using two spots.

@robertkaul1010 2 месяца назад

You can't see the hood because there isn't one. It's similar to older vans or firetrucks.

I am SO sick of hearing about this damn bus. (Buzz). Over 10 years ago it was in the automotive news and every year they show us pictures and prototypes and say 'Next year, next year'…. I’ve sat in it 2 years in a row at the L.A. auto show, each time saying next year. I’ve gone to the release at Huntington Beach Calif. and they say next year. Quit reporting on it, it’s just click bait from VW! 😠

Great to see a van that embraces its own boxiness. Too many others try to disguise this functional shape. Compare a 1991 Vanagon to a 1991 Pontiac TransSport. One is timeless, the other looks embarrassing.
