The second and third rows offer plenty of room for passengers and gear alike, while fold-flat seating options make it easy to convert the cabin into a cargo-hauling machine.

Iconic Design with a Modern Edge

Visually, the Volkswagen ID.Buzz keeps the playful, friendly look of its classic predecessor while adding futuristic touches. Available in eye-catching two-tone color options like Pomelo Yellow and Cabana Blue, the exterior makes a bold statement wherever it goes.

Its wide stance, short overhangs, and clean lines are not just for aesthetics—they also contribute to improved aerodynamics and overall efficiency.

In a world where many EVs look similar, the ID. Buzz stands out with personality, charm, and unmistakable Volkswagen DNA.
