The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz 3-Row Is An Electric Bus Designed To Make Vans Cool Again

We've been waiting a LONG time, but the reborn #Volkswagen #Microbus is finally back as the 2025 #IDBuzz 3-Row. This iconic people mover is now all-electric and its built on the very flexible #VW MEB platform, which means a larger 91 kWh battery pack and up to 330 HP if you get the Dual Motor AWD Buzz. The #VolkswageIDBuzz will sit at the top of the ID family in the lineup and expect the pricing to reflect that when this vehicle goes on sale in mid 2024.

Nice to see a unique, quirky kind of car that goes against the usual suv/crossover norm nowadays. Not the intended demographic for this van but still appreciate that VW renewed a classic to the modern day.

[@sinistersmallblock]

Meh, its kinda a miss for me. It's definitely nice, but I believe they should have orientated the 2nd row differently. You could have still seated 7 or eight, and it would have been a tribute to the original. They replaced what we invented in ancient Egypt the "clerestory lights" that the original vw bus had with a long panaramic sunroof, but adding some of those would have been a nice touch. I also would have prefered the steering wheel to be more like the original, sorta like a real bus. Some may criticize or wonder why I would change these things, but thats an easy answer; originality, which is what the original was. This is just another minivan that's electric. Nothing special or different about it. It follows the same formula as every other van these days. Not so much a vw bus. I also would have given it led circular lights. Now, the biggest drawback - literally no proper storage or trunk space. As a 3row electric vehicle, that is unacceptable. That is the dealbreaker for me. Nonetheless, its a nice vw minivan.

[@komentierer]

That's propably the only family car I'd be genuinely excited to buy.

[@MrComradebuttons]

the mini van wars was way cooler than the suv/crossover wars imo

[@bonvoyage19]

I am obsessed and only wish they had the camper functions inside and I would buy immediately

[@braetonwilson4296]

So refreshing to see a vehicle that's completely focused on function over style. So many modern crossovers/suvs have high beltlines that impede visibility and swoopy coupe like back ends that limit cargo and passenger space. This VW Bus is refreshingly practical with it's lower beltline and boxy shape. Perfect vehicle for a large family!

[@Michael-ge3eo]

It is not cute or good-looking in any way is probably the second ugliest vehicle it lacks character it is a big whiff

[@nightdonutstudio]

When it is being so different from other cars, it is a style.😂

[@codywillis9882]

I want to love it, but the predicted range is disappointing.

[@Skier_202]

@@Michael-ge3eoI think it looks cool! But my first car was a '74 super beetle...

[@jeffreyruiz9007]

Thoroughly impressed by the function and style of the Buzz. I have always driven square vehicles and vans specifically for the function of cargo and passenger space...I have been waiting for this e-van since it's first concept back in the 2000's...and the wait is well worth it, it will be pricey indeed but most high end vans are pricey. Now just need to create the additional business income streams to pay for it. 🤩

[@JotaCero10]

I just told my wife this would be the only minivan I could agree to buy 😂

[@K7CWJ]

A $60K Buzz better have 300+ mile range. That’d be a requirement for most, I’d guess. Lots of potential here!

[@bozodog428]

Looks great. Traveled throughout Europe in a VW bus back in the early seventies with the family. Underpowered back then, especially up in the mountains, but still loads of fun.

[@timvibes]

I'm impressed. The 2nd row and 3rd row legroom is generous.

[@ricmagik]

Time to get rid of my 2004 Sienna and jump in this with my family of 7!

[@alonzalbrown1883]

This little bus is so unique and quirky. Definitely a nice little van to have if you live near any coast ❤

[@dcrijo]

I love the classy look of the original but this new one is beautiful...I will be sharing this video with my wife in an attempt to convince her to check it out after it's available at dealership. Thanks for the review!!

[@lunaco]

Very detailed description and in depth showcase of the Buzz Id. Great Job 🎉

[@SirChocula]

That interior just puts you in a good mood. Very nice styling & vivid colors! If I were to get a minivan, this would be it! 🙂

[@TheSchwiz]

thanks for the actual details of the 3rd row. and powertrain.. no one else seems to have this data and just pushed out videos!

[@volcanoney]

so excited to see the bus and all its innovations

[@andrewhillman9632]

Looks good, can't wait to see these on the road 😊

[@joskjj3625]

Awesome work vw so glad we get the id buzz

[@RedBRZ23]

Cool video! Great job. Cameraman was on point.

[@ywc99411]

Finally we have a fully electric van here in the U.S. although it only has two hundred something miles, but understandable because of the pricing. I will definitely get one when it comes out.

[@TheLoreNetwork413]

So unique. Very practical. Good job VW.

[@77.Gamedin.77]

Nice work, looking forward to this one. keep it up the good work.

[@CC-si3cr]

I am obsessed! I was NOT going to watch this from my cell phone.

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

Thanks to you: I want one now! Excellent video! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Somewondude]

never thought I would like a van especially an electric one!

[@ilcomendante]

I think this is the one to have. As always great review Sofyan

[@acuintegra]

Thanks for the review. I am not a fan of minivans but for some odd reason, the buzz bus look is appealing! Space is always an issue with three row SUVs and minivans are "uncool" but somehow, the buzz just makes carrying people cool! We are still over a year away from launch but I will definitely be keeping an eye out.

[@undefined7141]

Do you think the secret sauce would be in rotating front seats and no back seats? Think middle row deleted with rear and front seats as useable space.

[@ICARUS_I]

The last Volkswagen van was actually the Routan, however yeah it was basically just a Dodge Caravan with VW styling. Saw a Routan the other day lol.

[@theredline]

We don’t count the Routan as a VW van 🤫😂

[@RazgrizF14D]

@@theredline I sell Volkswagens and yeah, we don't count the Routan either.....🤣🤣🤣

[@ciello___8307]

the markup on these are gonna be insane, lol

[@JohnnyZenith]

Not in Europe where we have markup rules and laws so we don't get ripped off.

[@sleepnclass]

Looks cool but I’m shocked at the lack of a camper model at launch. Worried about that white steering wheel looking gross after a few months. Rear windows look useless to me. Reminds me of the third row windows on old mini vans that only vent. Sad that we don’t get the airline tables.

[@franboy1357]

Looks unique and awesome

[@rydgevilla8643]

I so want one even though I’m a young lad. I just love the hippie vibes it’s giving me.

[@ShawnMKouri]

Some of the figures probably should be given at the full unveiling where executives will come on stage and talk about the vehicle.

[@guse1219]

I’m pleasantly surprised at how good the long wheelbase version looks. It sounds like they won’t be offering multiple two-tone interior colors like the Euro version.

[@osamayshak]

They should add a rearview mirror camera to make life easier.

[@jonathanbob852]

Insane amount of leg room in both 2nd and 3rd row seats!

[@jollyjohn6403]

Cool box, missing those calf muscles too!

[@Psxbs]

I've been waiting years for a full electric van. I might be on VW 's waiting list for this mini bus if the pricing isn't too much.

[@EvendimataE]

good for having light colored upholstery, but black carpet...all carpets should be dark unless you enjoy cleaning it very often

[@tronuxoid]

I almost can't wait for this to be on sale in USA!!!

[@Corvette1658]

I wonder if Ms. Frizzle would love this.

[@RazgrizF14D]

guaranteed

[@dark-violet]

Beautiful car

[@sammyg4806]

The removal of the tables is a bummer.

[@Chineywhale]

Wow. So much space. The third row should slide (like the sequoia)…if it did, you could fit 7 people and all their luggage.

[@fireant202]

Really want this car. Hope we can hold out till it’s available and the price isn’t too eye watering after the inevitable dealership markup and price hiking (I assume they’ll be in high demand and only high end trims will be easily available).

[@benniewalker312]

Been looking forward to a USA ID Buzz since 2017. Now the only thing missing is an affordable California Buzz. Fingers crossed.

[@brooke7916]

I’m wondering if you can swivel the 2nd and 3rd row seats towards one another to make a little table-esque configuration?

[@Johnny-hx8xe]

Hi! Just saw you at the airport… I work for United, I tried to say Hi but another customer was taking to me… good review on the van, can’t wait for the id 2.

[@MrRickle]

Can’t wait to get one.

[@KhrissyDaDon]

I would buy this!

[@adrianortiz3392]

When Past meets Future. Wow!

[@kdsewell01]

I want one!

[@tomeisenmenger7048]

I do wish they'd bring the short-wheelbase version with only 2 rows of seats, but I guess that's what the ID.4 is for here in the States.

[@Aashka_The_Mystic]

My favorite color is blue but i really like how the green one looks. Hopefully I'll be able to get one eventually. I don't think I'll get a brand new one, probably a used one

[@jayart8751]

When I was a kid and we traveled to Mexico for vacation we didn't have a car over there so we used the combi, looked like this, it was the bus they used over there

[@sonartech7721]

My mother never said if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all but a great video if anything.

[@CaIIOfTheWild]

Love what Volkswagen has done with this but the dealer markups on this are going to be insane. Puts a damper on the enthusiasm for me.

[@sycyourtube]

It has not been over 20 years since VW made a van! I am sitting in a 2010 VW Routan right now. It was made in a dodge caravan factory but it’s still made by VW as they owned Chrysler at the time and we’re making the Grand Caravan, Town and Country as well as Routan.

[@CruiseControl1]

Based on the 56% of range left with 161 miles estimated the Buzz should have about 288 miles of range. I hope it will have one pedal drive as that was a big miss on the id4.

[@greenmc8]

Thank you! Finally a good electric passenger van and review. I’m looking into this car. I can turn it into a camper for road-trips or use it as a daily. SUVs are overrated IMO but I want space for my dog’s crate and my stuff. And I prefer sliding doors that give easy access. In Japan, vans are cool but not so much in America. Hopefully, this van will change that!

[@JayLoki]

Your road trip would quickly become a charging trip. No way you’re enjoying this car for long drives. With the projected range, daily commutes are more reasonable.

[@jamespaul2587]

​@Jason road trips are not Cannonball runs for most people, especially families with kids that appreciate rest stops every few hours. Charging can easily be done while stopping for a coffee, meal or washroom break.

[@JayLoki]

@@jamespaul2587 and how often are you thinking you’ll charge? And how quickly? We’re not even talking Tesla infrastructure. I’ve owned a model Y and a 2:30 hour trip quickly added on another hour for charging.

[@jamespaul2587]

@@JayLokifast charging every 2 to 3 hours for a half hour to 80% is not unreasonable for many, especially families with young kids that can use a break

Like the ID buzz. Surprised they didn't put a fold down cup holder arm rest in second row. Also that the second row doesn't come out. Will they offer the two tone seats?

[@thechappist]

[@mv9787]

Thanks for showing the 3rd row with an adult sitting there. Lots of room

[@Chaoswithmycoffee]

13:17 Did you feel like the seat was heavy or difficult to remove?

[@richard-mai]

I want it for cross country road trips but range anxiety

[@jamespaul2587]

Stopping every few hours for charging along with breaks for meals, coffee and washrooms makes cross country drives safer and more enjoyable. It's a drive, not a Cannonball Run 😊

[@kalanikaluhea5409]

Will the second row captain seat rotate? Would make it easier to the my wheelchair bound mother into the second seat

[@BlakeBickerstaff]

The lack of 3 seats in the 3rd row for a van at the very top of most people's budgets is a bit of a deal breaker for me

Love the Buzz, but not a fan of the rear windows. I'd much rather have the regular slide down windows.

[@anthonymallard7045]

Cool vidéo , i want to buy one ( european model, France), how Can i have the illuminated logo for my cargo version ?

[@zteburner5882]

Where will the battery and the complete vehicle be assembled in? I believe both in Chattanooga, TN which could qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit. I will also say that pricing is super important to make this van attractive alternative to current minivans available now and for 2024.

[@pritchjeff]

How are the second row seats not removable???

[@jamespaul2587]

Agreed they should be designed to be removed, there might be a way to remove them however

Smaller than my current 2021 VW T6.1 van, but it retains a lot of the features of the previous model

[@patrickbolmeyer9515]

If I go EV, this is what I want!

[@kchastain3]

They need to focus on making the perfect #vanlife automobile. It should have a sink and bed with electrical outlets and a large solar cell roof so you can drive it to a campsite and park it for a few days while it charges before you head out to your next destination.

[@Jrrsj]

Kind of wish they made this a bit longer (like 5-6 inches). Cargo space behind the 3rd row looks tight. Otherwise, I think VW nailed it.

[@benkrapf]

A white dash the size of a dining table is a no-go for me...

[@ethanwang2800]

Yes for 3-row

[@eugene9661]

Almost non-existent front crumple zone. I would be a bit anxious driving that thing.

[@nyrubin]

It actually seems like a pretty good Van. Range needs to be 300 miles since it’ll drop to 220 in the cold months anyways

[@cusman]

I am interested and willing to buy to replace our current KIA Sedona minivan. Just need to know price / EV credits / warranty, etc. It would be great if this could also be charged at Tesla Supercharger locations for interstate driving.
