Introducing the ID. Buzz, a modern reimagining of our iconic microbus. Now, the bus is back in an all-electric way.
The original microbus, known as the Type 2, came to Canada in the 1950s. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Type 2 was embraced by people who valued freedom, adventure, the spirit of exploration, and of course, quirky design.
Over the years, we’ve introduced various iterations of the microbus, from the Vanagon to the Eurovan. But one thing never changed: the good vibes.
Today, after a long hiatus in Canada, the spirit of the microbus has been fully reimagined for the modern era. The same retro-inspired shape, colours, space, and nostalgia – now with a fully electric drivetrain with instant acceleration and all the latest tech.
There’s no other vehicle quite like the ID. Buzz. It’s not just a means of transportation. It’s a lifestyle.
Inspired by the original microbus, the all-new ID. Buzz has an instantly iconic shape and an array of vibrant colour options. So whether you’re at the charging station, at the beach, or on a road trip, you’ll be putting a smile on the face of everyone who sees you.
The original microbus had lots of space, so why should the all-electric reimagining be any different? The ID. Buzz offers an option of 6 or 7 seats, extra roomy rows, and a flexboard that creates a large flat interior surface for unlimited possibilities. All made possible due to its state-of-the-art MEB platform, huge wheelbase, and short overhangs.
Plus, with an available panoramic glass roof that lets in the sky above, you’ll feel like the ID. Buzz has space for the whole world around you.
To celebrate the first year of the ID. Buzz, we created the 1st Edition model and filled it with special features and details to commemorate the occasion. As if bringing back a classic wasn’t special enough.
Get a closer look at all the feel-good features of the ID. Buzz, from its German-engineered performance and design to smart tech and so much more.
Oh the places you’ll go
With a range of up to 377 km on a single charge1, your ID. Buzz will always be ready to take you on your next adventure. No matter where that is.
Instant torque. Instant fun.
Thanks to its instant torque, the ID. Buzz can call on its 282 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque the moment you hit the pedal. Needless to say, it’s a little quicker than your grandfather’s Type 2.
With available 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive, output jumps to 335 horsepower with 413 lb-ft of torque, and the ID. Buzz can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds.*
*Please drive safely and obey all traffic laws, including speed limits
Stay charged
Just because the ID. Buzz has chill vibes doesn’t mean it’s not hard at work behind the scenes.
The ID. Buzz converts braking energy into useful battery power. So whenever you brake or take your foot off the pedal, that kinetic energy is stored for later.
Heat things up in the winter
A standard heat pump helps ensure energy-efficient interior heating. And that takes less power from the battery. The benefit? Greater range in cold weather. Happy exploring.
Light up your world
The ID. Buzz incorporates the fun and vibrance of light into its design, inside and out.
As you approach the vehicle, the LED headlights will pivot and light up with a friendly “open eye” greeting. Now that’s a warm welcome.
Shine on
The ID. Buzz has a prominent VW logo right on the front, just like the original microbus. But the ID. Buzz takes it to the next level. The logo lights up and is accompanied with an illuminated light line on the grille. Which looks awesome.
All eyes on the road
When you’re in the driver’s seat of the ID. Buzz, you’re in an elevated seating position that keeps you high up above the ground. In fact, the ID. Buzz has the highest elevation of our entire family of vehicles.
Being higher up means you’ll have increased confidence and full command of the road ahead.
Buzz your way
The ID. Buzz comes with two seating configurations. How will you choose to Buzz?
7 Passenger:
The 7-seater ID. Buzz comes with a second-row bench seat. The bench can slide forwards and backwards, and can be folded for easy access to the third row. The 7-seater version of the ID. Buzz comes exclusively with Rear-Wheel Drive.
6 Passenger:
The 6-seater ID. Buzz comes with two second-row captain chairs. The second-row seats can move forwards and backwards, can be folded for easy access to the third row, and has 8 reclining positions. The 6-seater version of the ID. Buzz comes exclusively with 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive.
No matter which seating configuration you choose, the third row is fully removable for whenever you need even more cargo space. Whatever the task, the ID. Buzz can adapt.
Stay flexible
Need to carry more stuff in your ID. Buzz? Fold down the third row, and you’re all set.
Need even more room? Fold down the second row too. But wait. Need even… more? Use the flexboard to extend your cargo space to an impressive 4,120 L*. That amount of space is also perfect for those adventurous trips where you’re camping in your car.
Whether you need lots of space, or lots of seats, the ID. Buzz can deliver.
Comfort to the max
The ID. Buzz has front row seating designed to heat and cool. Hot day out? The seats are ventilated to help cool you off. Brisk winter day? Simply use the heating feature. Plus, with two armrests per chair and a massage function, you’ll be comfortable no matter where the road takes you.
Fun design right below your feet
On the acceleration and brake pedals, you’ll find ‘play’ and ‘pause’ symbols. Even the ID. Buzz’s pedals are keeping things groovy.
Keeping things funky
Customize the atmosphere inside your ID. Buzz with ambient lighting. With 30 different colour options, you can change the vibe of your interior any time.
A twist on storage
The ID. Buzz’s centre console has a bit of a party trick. That’s because it’s fully removable.
Remove it, reverse it, put your stuff in it. It even comes with a bottle opener and ice scraper. Making it the perfect tailgating companion.
There’s also multiple mounting points for the centre console within the ID. Buzz. So you can keep it up front, or quickly install it in the second row of your 6-seater.
Kick it with the ID. Buzz
Not only does the ID. Buzz feature the iconic sliding doors of its predecessors, but opening and closing them is as easy as kicking your foot under the door. That’s helpful for all the times your hands are full.
Kick it real good
Hands are full? Not a problem. Just kick your foot under the bumper and the trunk will open right up. And once you’re done, another kick will close it.
Let the sky in
With its available panoramic glass roof, your ID. Buzz can always have a beautiful light-filled interior while offering a generous view of the outside world.
Feel like more privacy? Simply use the touch slider, or your vehicle’s voice assistant to turn the panoramic glass roof from clear to opaque in an instant. Just like magic. This also gives you added UV ray and heat protection.
In sight, in mind
With a nifty Head-Up Display, information such as speed, navigation, warnings, and more are displayed directly on your windshield – so you never have to take your eyes off the road. Talk about convenient.
Everything’s at your fingertips
The ID. Buzz comes with a giant 12.9” infotainment screen. Use it to set your vehicle preferences, set your vehicle’s climate, put on some sweet tunes, and everything in-between. Plus, with a range of customization options, you can tailor the display to your taste.
*Please do not drive distracted.
Get comfy
The ID. Buzz puts in a lot of work to keep you feeling comfortable.
The three-zone automatic climate control allows people in the driver’s seat, the front passenger seat, and the back two rows to set the temperature to just how they like it. Plus, not only are the front-row seats heated, but so are the window seats in the second row.
Put that together with the roominess of the third row, and you and every passenger in the ID. Buzz are in for one comfy ride.
Charge up and take off
On the road, you can charge your ID. Buzz’s battery 10 - 80% in up to 26 minutes.* That means a 10-minute charge can add almost 100 km of range on a DC fast-charger.
With a 91 kWh battery and a 200 kW DC acceptance rate, you’ll be spending more time cruising instead of plugged in.
*Estimated charging times are provided as a reference only.

Charging your EV is as easy as plug and play—but here’s a few more tips to help you get the most out of your charging.
Home Sweet Home
There’s no place like home, especially when it comes to charging your EV. The time it takes to fully charge your vehicle at home can differ depending on your setup, so it’s good to know the options.
Energy En Route
While charging at home is a convenience exclusive to EVs, anyone who’s ever driven is used to having to give their vehicle some juice while on the road. That’s where public charging stations equipped with Level 2 and/or DC fast chargers come into play.
Electric feels good. But making the switch can seem like a big change at first. That’s why we’re here to walk you through everything EV, including all the basics, our EV lineup, and the latest news and innovations.
