Volkswagen has announced pricing for the ID. Buzz, the reborn version of its famous Van that was widely successful, especially in the 1960s and 1970s.
The new ID. Buzz will start at $59,995 for its entry-level configuration, known as the Pro S. There will also be a Pro S Plus, which starts at $63,495, or $67,995 for the all-wheel-drive configuration.
Then there is the top trim, known as the 1st Edition, which will start at $65,495 and will cost $4,500 more for the all-wheel-drive configuration.
Volkswagen ID.Buzz headed to North America, marking the return of an icon
We’ll break these down more at the bottom of the page, but we want to highlight some of the customization and features of the vehicle first:
Features and Infotainment
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz will have a pretty robust infotainment package as it stands. It will have the newest version of the Volkswagen infotainment system with backlit controls, 12-way powered front seats, a heated second row (a great touch), wireless phone charging and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for more versatility.
It will also feature eight USB-C ports and a 110-volt outlet under the passenger seat, according to ArsTechnica.
The U.S. version of the vehicle differs slightly from the European version in the sense that pricing and features are not the same. In Europe, the entry-level ID. Buzz starts at $60,000 and has two fewer seats. It also has 8 kWh less of a battery than the U.S. version.
The three-row ID. Buzz has a 91 kWh battery pack and the rear-wheel-drive configuration also gets only 234 miles of range. This is only three miles greater than the AWD option, which is not super favorable at the price.
To be frank, it seems like a novelty item with the price tag and the lack of range. The features are great, though.
