We've seen it for awhile but are still waiting for the ID.Buzz to hit the shores of North America. The version we'll get is going the be a 3 row only which will put this in a unique position to compete against the currently limited minivan segment and the styling is likely to draw folks who were looking for a different vehicle all together but fell in love with the looks. The retro roots and tech forward design have blended together very nicely to give you all the functions you need without making things too cluttered up throughout the interior and up on the dash. If you need maximum cargo capacity there are going to be other options that serve your needs better but you'll be hard pressed to find a vehicle this flexible that's also this fun.

    It is insane how long this has taken to come to the US. They showed this at LA Auto Show like 5 or 6 years ago.
  • @justin9152
    This is my first time seeing Travis do the reviews. Great job, especially since it seem you are pressed for time around so many other people.
  • @UFOs077
    This guy did a great job with this video. Informative, not boring, good personal inserts, and also to whoever is behind the cam, good work too. About the VW. I like this!! I think that it'd be so cool to see these on the road here. Stoked for you all to cover it with more detail and road tests when available. Good video you all.
  • @phero6933
    The best thing about this is that it's an electric vehicle with normal door handles.
  • @PeaceChanel
    Thank You for supporting Electric Vehicles and for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
  • @kubi0461
    The Buzz is one of my favorite vehicles. I just wish we could get the short version, awd, and with more range.
  • @kristop3r
    Nice job Travis. Now I have to convince my wife to get this over the Kia Ev9.
  • @dcrijo
    If my wife was more into EV Vans, I would wait for this but not the case. I love this style of van..so retro & modern all at once. Great job VW! Thanks for the cool review
  • @Jacobk66
    I’m 37 and they’ve been talking about this since I was in High School. This thing should be perfect since it’s taken this long.
  • @hardstones17
    If they had a 2 row hybrid option (full EV is simply not an option for me) I would be all over this thing in Canada.
  • @ndg9367
    Travis, great review! Would love if you showed the sliding 2nd row windows and the opaque switch in-between driver and passenger seat on the ceiling. Also, I think the 2nd row folds flat for an optional bed mattress and the center arm rest also comes out from other videos reviews
  • @CSLFiero
    Other videos have commented that the second row trays are not going to be on the production id buzz, but here they are again. if VW keeps showing them, people are going to expect them. And I now expect them. I would also like to see the removable center have accessories like airplane-style fold out tray version or even a bench seat and seatbelt.
  • @spletest8977
    It's fun seeing VW finally make this van after teasing it for almost 25 years. First Microbus concept came out in 2001.
  • @RareFew
    I'm definitely planning on buying one of these. They gotta put in bench type seats with a table somewhere tho. Maybe something where the second row seats can swivle and be arranged as bench seats with seats in the back that can lay down.
  • @robertchinnis6651
    I was excited about this until they announced the unnecessary third row and extra length for the US version. It looks so much cooler in the European smaller version. Why do they think we all want that?
  • @Rioichi4
    This thing has so much CHARACTER, I love it
  • @naveenthemachine
    I think it looks adorable. I love that color combo. It’s less bold than the yellow white combo But the interior color looks weird and imo it should match the exterior color
  • @jonathantyree8172
    That open center is a godsend for us tall guys. I miss the days of bench seats. These giant center consoles dif into the sides of my knees. If shifters are going electric they need to go back on the column like this and the electric hyundai that is out as well
  • @daves1646
    Excellent quick look Travis!! Hope VW releases more function details soon. Looks as family capable as our current minivan and the 3rd row is far friendlier than most SUV back rows. Only shame like to be that as a brickish EV, the Buzz is going to be hard on energy. Any clue whether VW will put a heat pump in the US Buzz??
