  • The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz will cost between $61,545 and $71,545
  • EPA-rated range for the 2025 ID.Buzz ranges from 234 to 231 miles per charge
  • The 2025 ID.Buzz will arrive in the U.S. later this year

The long wait for the Volkswagen ID.Buzz in U.S. showrooms is almost over.

The three-row electric minivan serving as the spiritual successor to the iconic Microbus is due to start sales in the U.S. later this year as 2025 model, and VW on Wednesday confirmed a starting price of $61,545.

That’s for the base Pro S model. Also available at launch will be a Pro S Plus and limited-edition 1st Edition priced from $65,045 and $67,045, respectively. All figures include a $1,550 destination charge.

The Pro S only comes with rear-wheel drive while the Pro S Plus and 1st Edition have the option of all-wheel drive. That option costs an extra $4,500.

A three-seat bench is fitted as standard for the second row, but all-wheel-drive models get captain’s chairs as standard. Buyers of the rear-wheel-drive Pro S Plus can add captain’s chairs for the second row, but in this case it costs $695.

All models come with the same 91-kwh battery that VW said delivers an EPA-estimated range of 234 miles with rear-wheel drive and 231 miles with all-wheel drive. Rear-wheel-drive ID.Buzz vans have a single motor at the rear rear at 282 hp and all-wheel-drive models have a dual-motor setup rated at 335 hp.

Standard features include 20-inch wheels, powered sliding rear doors on both sides of the vehicle, a power tailgate, a 12.9-inch infotainment screen (together with a 5.3-inch digital gauge cluster), ambient lighting, a wireless phone charger, and various electronic driver-assist features including an automated parking system with a function to memorize a parking maneuver.

The Pro S Plus gains more extras as standard including a head-up display, a surround-view camera system, Harmon Kardon premium audio, and more. A panoramic glass roof is available for $1,495. It features an electrochromic element, enabling it to change from transparent to opaque with the swipe of a finger.

Upgrading to the 1st Edition adds a standard two-tone exterior, unique 20-inch wheels, roof racks, custom badging, and unique interior touches including heritage-inspired floor mats. The glass roof is also standard in this case.

The U.S. gets the long-wheelbase version of the ID.Buzz as standard, meaning it measures just over 16 feet long (a shorter version is standard overseas). Despite its rectangular shape, it cuts the wind with a relatively low coefficient of drag of just 0.29. As with other ID-badged models, the ID.Buzz also features the ID.Light warning system as standard. This is a thin LED strip stretching across the windshield that provides information via the color and position of the light signal. For example, a red glow is a warning to press the brakes, while a glow on either side can indicate a vehicle in the blind spot or a navigation instruction to change lanes.

Production of the ID.Buzz is handled at a plant in Hanover, Germany.

The ID.Buzz is based on the same Volkswagen Group MEB dedicated EV platform as the ID.4 compact crossover and ID.7 midsize hatchback. The ID.7 was also meant to arrive in the U.S. as a 2025 model, though VW in May said the launch is delayed due to changing market dynamics.
