2026 Volkswagen ID Buzz
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric van is a nostalgic tribute to the classic Microbus, but it is a decidedly modern vehicle. Three-row seating comes standard, with either six- or seven-passenger configurations. The Buzz uses either a single-motor, 282-hp setup to drive the rear wheels, or a dual-motor, 335-hp configuration with all-wheel drive. Fully charged, rear-wheel-drive models offer 234 miles of EPA-estimated range. AWD models are rated for 231 miles but we got 244 miles in our 70-mph highway range test. The cabin is nicely furnished and has a 12.9-inch infotainment screen, but controls mirror the ID. 4's, meaning they are unintuitive. The cabin is very roomy and the third row is removable but doesn't fold into the floor like other minivans. Available creature comforts include a massage feature for the front seats. Options include a panoramic sunroof with electrochromic tinting, and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon stereo. A full suite of active safety systems is standard.

Brand context
About Volkswagen
Most Volkswagens are well-built, agile, fun-to-drive cars that feel slightly more premium than their competitors. Its lineup is focused on SUVs, most of which have spacious, comfortable interiors and unexpectedly responsive driving dynamics. Its Golf hatchback, especially in performance trims, is a rare balance of practicality and driving thrills. Most models, including its EVs, have excellent fit and finish. Brand-wide downsides include unintuitive controls and infotainment systems, and below-average reliability for new cars. Reliability for used VWs is average.
