Few vehicles have generated as much excitement as the all-new 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz. A reimagining of the iconic VW Microbus, this electric vehicle combines nostalgia with cutting-edge technology, offering a unique blend of retro-inspired design and modern engineering. For decades, the original Microbus symbolized freedom, adventure, and individuality, and now the ID. Buzz carries that legacy into a new, sustainable era. From its spacious, configurable interior to its advanced electric powertrain, the ID. Buzz is more than just a vehicle—it’s a lifestyle statement.
Let’s take a closer look at everything that makes the 2025 ID. Buzz one of the most highly anticipated vehicles in Canada, and why it’s capturing the hearts of drivers everywhere.
The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz is unmistakable on the road, thanks to its instantly recognizable retro-inspired shape. Paying homage to the original Type 2 Microbus of the 1950s, the ID. Buzz merges a nostalgic two-tone color palette with modern aerodynamic lines. Vibrant color combinations, such as Candy White with Cabana Blue Metallic, ensure the ID. Buzz stands out wherever it goes—whether at a charging station or on a scenic road trip.
LED lighting plays a key role in its futuristic appeal, with an illuminated front light bar and a glowing VW logo adding a unique touch. The ID. Buzz’s design isn’t just about looks—it’s functional, too. Built on Volkswagen’s innovative MEB (Modular Electric Drive) platform, the ID. Buzz has short overhangs and a long wheelbase, maximizing both stability and interior space. And with its optional electronically dimmable panoramic sunroof, the Buzz brings the outside world into its airy cabin.
The ID. Buzz is powered by Volkswagen’s state-of-the-art all-electric drivetrain, delivering instant torque and smooth acceleration. It comes in two configurations: the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) 1st Edition with a 282-horsepower motor and the 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive (AWD) version, which features dual motors producing a combined 335 horsepower. Both models utilize a 91 kWh high-voltage battery, offering impressive ranges of 377 km (RWD) and 372 km (AWD) on a single charge.
Charging is a breeze with DC fast-charging capabilities, allowing the battery to go from 10% to 80% in as little as 26 minutes. Regenerative braking further enhances efficiency by capturing energy during deceleration and returning it to the battery. For colder climates, the ID. Buzz features a heat pump system to improve winter range, ensuring it’s as practical as it is fun to drive.
Volkswagen has made spaciousness and flexibility the centrepiece of the ID. Buzz’s interior. Available in six- or seven-seat configurations, the ID. Buzz offers generous legroom across all rows, including best-in-class third-row legroom. The second-row captain’s chairs (available in the AWD version) make accessing the third row effortless, while the "Flexboard" cargo system creates a flat load surface, perfect for hauling larger items.
Premium features abound, including heated and ventilated massage seats, customizable 30-color ambient lighting, and the ID. Buzz Box—a removable storage unit for added convenience. A 12.9-inch infotainment display takes centre stage in the cockpit, offering seamless access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings. The intuitive IDA voice assistant is another highlight, enabling drivers to adjust climate control, find charging stations, or even hear a joke with simple voice commands.
The 2025 ID. Buzz is designed to make every journey feel like an adventure. Its "Easy Open" power sliding doors and liftgate provide effortless access to the interior, perfect for families on the go. The panoramic fixed glass roof with dimming functionality adds a sense of openness, allowing passengers to enjoy scenic views from the comfort of their seats. Advanced storage solutions, such as the modular Flexboard system and under-floor compartments, ensure the Buzz is ready for any adventure.
On the tech front, the ID. Buzz offers Volkswagen’s latest IQ.DRIVE suite of driver assistance features. Standard technologies include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, Emergency Assist, and Front Assist with pedestrian and cyclist monitoring. For added convenience, available upgrades like a 360° Area View camera and Park Assist make maneuvering the ID. Buzz in tight spaces effortless. Over-the-air updates keep the vehicle’s software current, ensuring a continually improved user experience.
While the ID. Buzz is designed for comfort and lifestyle, it doesn’t shy away from capability. The 4MOTION AWD version features a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, making it practical for hauling small trailers, boats, or campers. Its low centre of gravity, thanks to the floor-mounted battery, enhances stability, while the AWD system provides extra traction for inclement weather or light off-road conditions.
With instant torque and responsive handling, the ID. Buzz delivers a driving experience that’s as enjoyable as it is efficient. Whether you’re navigating city streets or winding mountain roads, the ID. Buzz proves that practicality and fun can go hand in hand.
To mark the return of the iconic Microbus, Volkswagen has introduced the limited 1st Edition model of the ID. Buzz. This special version is packed with exclusive features, including 20-inch alloy wheels, a two-tone paint finish, and premium interior details. The 1st Edition RWD seats seven, while the AWD version comes with six seats and second-row captain’s chairs for added luxury.
These 1st Edition models celebrate the spirit of the original Microbus while offering all the benefits of cutting-edge EV technology. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, the 1st Edition is a chance to own a piece of automotive history.
The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz is more than just a vehicle—it’s the rebirth of an icon. Combining the charm of the original Microbus with the performance and technology of modern electric vehicles, the ID. Buzz is designed to bring joy, freedom, and sustainability to drivers everywhere. With its spacious interior, advanced EV drivetrain, and timeless design, the ID. Buzz represents the future of family travel and adventure.
For Canadians who value individuality, eco-conscious driving, and the spirit of exploration, the ID. Buzz offers a unique opportunity to be part of a new era. Whether you’re cruising through Ontario’s cities or heading off the beaten path, the ID. Buzz ensures every journey is one to remember.
