For the new model year, Volkswagen is bringing back an iconic model, the beloved Volkswagen Microbus - this time as an electric model. The 2025 ID. Buzz is a modern spin on an old classic, offering a retro charm, cutting-edge technology, and a spacious, versatile interior. As a Volkswagen dealer serving Old Saybrook, CT, and the surrounding areas, Volkswagen of Old Saybrook has the details on what you can expect from the ID. Buzz when it arrives.
Models and Trims
The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz will come in a few different models to suit various needs and preferences. Whether you're in Waterford, CT, looking for a family car with ample passenger room, or a business in Guilford, CT, in need of a spacious work van, the ID. Buzz looks to have you covered.
The entry-level ID. Buzz will be a two-row passenger model with seating for five. Expect this version to have a long wheelbase providing expansive legroom and cargo space. Volkswagen will also offer the ID. Buzz in a three-row passenger model with seating for up to seven across an even longer extended-wheelbase body style.
For more utility, an ID. Buzz Cargo model is planned as well. This would be a two-seat work van with a cavernous cargo bay in the back instead of rear seats. Businesses in Middletown, CT, and beyond could use the ID. Buzz Cargo is an eco-friendly commercial vehicle for deliveries, service calls, and more.
Interior Space and Comfort
One of the most appealing aspects of the original Microbus was its roomy, practical interior. The 2025 ID. Buzz looks to deliver on that front as well. By taking advantage of the space-saving EV drivetrain that eliminates the need for an engine compartment, the ID. Buzz can devote more of its footprint to passenger and cargo space.
Expect the ID. Buzz to have a bright, airy cabin with large windows and an open layout. Volkswagen's early teasers show a minimalist but high-tech interior with a digital instrument panel and a large central infotainment screen. Customizable ambient lighting will add a pop of color and flair.
In the two-row ID. Buzz, look for exceptional second-row legroom that rivals full-size SUVs. With the long wheelbase, even tall adults should be able to stretch out comfortably. The three-row extended wheelbase model will likely have adult-friendly space in all three rows, a rare feat for any vehicle. Families in East Haven, CT, will appreciate being able to sit up to seven with ease.
As for cargo capacity, the ID. Buzz should offer impressive volume thanks to its boxy shape. With the rear seats folded, it could rival many midsize and even full-size SUVs in maximum cargo space. Convenient features like a power liftgate, low load floor, and sliding side doors will make accessing that spacious cargo hold a breeze.
EV Drivetrain and Range
Volkswagen hasn't released final specs on the ID. Buzz's electric drivetrain yet. However, it will likely use a version of the modular MEB platform that underpins other new EVs like the ID.4 crossover. In the ID.4, this setup provides up to 295 horsepower and 339 lb.-ft of torque.
The ID. Buzz will probably come in both rear-wheel drive single-motor and all-wheel drive dual-motor configurations. The range is expected to be around 300 miles on a single charge for the rear-drive model, with the AWD version getting slightly less due to the extra weight of the front motor.
Charging times are another question mark at this point, but if the ID. Buzz has the same fast charging capability as the ID.4 - expect to add around 60-80 miles of range in just 10 minutes at a DC fast charger. For regular charging at home or work, expect about seven-11 hours for a full charge, depending on the onboard charger's capacity.
