On Sunday Feb 11 during one of the biggest sporting events of the year the Superbowl, Volkswagen played an ad showing their brand new Volkswagen ID.BUZZ. This left fans wondering and asking a lot of questions. Volkswagen came out and announced a ton of stuff about the vehicle,
The all new Volkswagen ID.BUZZ was announced in June 2023, but we haven’t heard anything else about it up until recently. They announced that the ID.BUZZ would be coming early 2025. This is Volkswagen’s first take at an electric van. The van is equipped with a ton of USB C fast chargers and a ton of storage, in the trunk it has 2 slide out drawers for storage along with a shelf for stuff above it. It is still unknown if the ID.BUZZ has a front trunk for storage but based on other Volkswagen ev there won’t be. We are still unclear of what colors Volkswagen will have for the ID.BUZZ but we can only assume classic colors from the original vans.
The front of the van is equipped with a 5.3 inch display for controls and other things. Much like Tesla this screen does most of the car’s controls, but the van still has some regular dial controls and none screen controls. The van is equipped with 2 power sliding doors for passengers to climb in and out of. The ID.BUZZ can come with 3 rows and can fit 7 people. The van has been shaped after the iconic vw van, it has the iconic v shaped hood and other cool little Easter eggs around the car, like there is a little model of the car hidden on the door panel in the middle row, and lots lots more hidden around. Volkswagen have also been so kind as to add a bottle opener and ice scraper that can be hidden in the center console.
Most people are worried about the range of electric cars, but with new technology coming out and more advanced technology coming. There is nothing to worry about. Most electric cars have about 210-280 miles of range, and charging times can vary from charger networks. The best changing network is Tesla’s they have the most changing station in the world from the u.s to Europe there is about 50,000+ charging stations in there network. However the amount of chargers does not make it better, there needs to be fast charge times in order for it to work. The ID.BUZZ has about 240-60 miles of range, it is still unclear how much range Volkswagen will have in the ID.BUZZ. We can only hope Volkswagen will switch over to NARC’S(Tesla’s chargers) but it is still unknown, as of right now the ID.BUZZ and many more of Volkswagen ev’s use the standard j1772 port. The ID.BUZZ has dc fast charging, meaning it can charge from 5% to 80% in about 30 minutes (using 170 kWh dc fast chargers).
Volkswagen has partnered with Star Wars to make some very cool light side and dark side ID.BUZZ’s. The dark side edition comes with red lights and red accents and is a dark black, the rims are black and red, they have also made some of the glass a tint of red and red under glow. The light side edition comes with a light sand-ish color with white and blue accents, the rims are this sand color and blue, the glass and all lights are blue, there is also under glow but it is blue. Overall lots of people are very excited about the release of this vehicle and they hope it will not disappoint, the ID.BUZZ is expected to come out around 2025 and you can already preorder them on the Volkswagen website. Volkswagen will start mass production sometime this year and they will start to deliver them around next year. Volkswagen has been putting ads and commercials all over the internet so people are very interested and excited
