Is the VW ID.Buzz as Enchanting As We All Want It To Be?

Published 2024-02-10
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.

    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.
  • @phero6933
    The best thing about this is that it's an electric vehicle with normal door handles.
  • @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.

    Nice job Travis. Now I have to convince my wife to get this over the Kia Ev9.
  • @kubi0461
    The Buzz is one of my favorite vehicles. I just wish we could get the short version, awd, and with more range.
  • @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

    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.

    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.
  • @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
  • @spletest8977
    It's fun seeing VW finally make this van after teasing it for almost 25 years. First Microbus concept came out in 2001.
  • 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?
  • @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.
  • @rightlanehog3151
    Travis, I used the most powerful search engines known to humanity and I believe I am entitled to say VW ID Bust® is an original appellation for this perpetually gestating machine. 😁
  • @Rioichi4
    This thing has so much CHARACTER, I love it
  • @MattRoll
    They need to hurry up and bring this to market! I'm also hoping it qualifies for the tax credit.
