Buzz Get an obligation-free quote from trusted dealers today! [Find a Deal](#) × ## **Summary** [Volkswagen’s **ID. Buzz**](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/volkswagen-id-buzz/) revives the **Kombi** spirit with an all-electric twist, giving families (and businesses) a spacious people mover or cargo van that exudes modern retro flair. Its MEB-based platform, shared with models like the ID.4 and ID.7, ensures a smooth, punchy electric drive, while the airy cabin offers countless storage solutions. With seating for five in **SWB** form or seven in **LWB**, plus the forthcoming **GTX AWD**, Volkswagen aims to cover multiple lifestyle needs. However, while it’s a charismatic alternative to mainstream MPVs, the ID. Buzz arrives at a steep price, especially for private buyers not accessing novated lease benefits. Options can further inflate costs above the Luxury Car Tax threshold, removing some potential tax breaks. Yet for those craving a conversation-starting EV van with classic VW genes, the ID. Buzz hits a sweet spot of heritage and modernity like almost nothing else on the road. ## **Pros & Cons** ### **Pros** - Striking retro design that garners attention - Roomy, versatile cabin for five or seven passengers - Surprisingly zippy electric performance and direct steering - MEB platform means refined, stable handling at lower speeds ### **Cons** - Pricey before on-roads, with expensive option packs - Some ride choppiness over rougher roads - Hard cabin plastics echo its commercial roots - No wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto until 2025 update ## **Specs** - **Body Style:** Electric people mover (SWB 5-seat, LWB 7-seat) or cargo van - **Platform:** Volkswagen MEB (dedicated EV) - **Launched:** 2022 (global), 2025 (Australia) **Engine Options:** - Single rear motor (210kW/550Nm, RWD) - GTX dual motor (TBA, AWD) ## **2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz Pricing** ## Pricing Information – 2025 Volkswagen ID.
