Volkswagen's electric retro bus comes to the States with a longer wheelbase, a bigger battery, a third row of seats, and more power.
has the extended wheelbase, which makes room for a third row, and seating for seven.
Bright color combos inside and out call back to the '60s, but with a contemporary spin and fully modern tech. VW announced a return of the bus back in 2022. The first U.S. versions of the electric ID.Buzz should be on their way to a dealer near you by June of 2024.The European version of the ID.Buzz is a two-row machine with a shorter wheelbase than what we'll get here in the States. The U.S.-spec bus is stretched 10 inches, for a 127.5-inch wheelbase, so it keeps those short overhangs and uses all of that extra space for interior room.
The bump in power is due to use of stronger permanent magnets in the motor with improved heat management. With the new motor, the ID.Buzz has a top speed of an electronically limited 99 mph compared to the two-row's 90 mph, and an original Type 2's . . . walking speed.The same play of retro design and contemporary tech that makes the exterior of the ID.Buzz unique is also found in the interior.
