2023 VW ID.Buzz Goes Its Own Way.

Superficially, the Volkswagen ID.Buzz fits into the current roster of U.S.-market minivans. It will, after all, have power sliding doors, three rows of seats, and plenty of cupholders. But this isn't really a direct salvo at the likes of the Toyota Sienna and the Chrysler Pacifica. For one thing, it's electric. And it's rear-wheel drive. And it looks cool. As in, people in Copenhagen were breaking their necks to stare at it during our drive of a Europe-spec Buzz. It's a learned reflex to think of minivans as anti-stylish, but this one is unabashedly fresh, a concept car made real in two-tone candy white and lime yellow. Climbing into the ID.Buzz makes you want to quit your job and become a surf instructor in Hermosa Beach, or go backpacking across Peru, or raise alpacas so you can knit organic-wool drug rugs for everyone in your commune. This is new territory: minivan as status symbol and halo car for an entire brand.

Given Volkswagen's success in squeezing Beetle nostalgia for a couple of extra decades' worth of sales, it's amazing it took this long to apply the same formula to the Bug's incense-scented cousin, the Bus (or, as VW affectionately calls it in Germany, the Bulli). But resurrecting the Bus with anything like the original snub-nosed proportions was never really feasible with VW's internal-combustion platforms—much easier to rebadge a Dodge Grand Caravan as a Routan than to engineer some sort of front-drive cab-over-engine people hauler. But on VW's MEB platform for EVs, the ID.Buzz can faithfully hew to the template of its beloved, painfully slow progenitor: rear motor, rear-wheel-drive. The vents in the D-pillar may be fake, but at least they correspond to the actual location of the motor.

Mechanically, the ID.Buzz is a doppelgänger for the ID.4 SUV, with a single motor making 201 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque, and a 77.0-kWh battery delivering 263 miles of range, according to the WLTP methodology, which would put it around 220 miles in the U.S. on the EPA's cycles. (For reference, the EPA rates the rear-drive ID.4 Pro's range at 275 miles.) VW claims the Buzz will mosey to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 10.2 seconds, which makes it the 1967 Bus of contemporary electric cars. An all-wheel-drive U.S. version ought to be considerably quicker, given that we clocked the 295-hp all-wheel-drive ID.4 at 5.4 seconds to 60 mph. VW claims that the two-row ID.Buzz weighs 5448 pounds, while we recorded 4698 pounds from a comparable ID.4
