The 2022 Volkswagen ID. Buzz is an electric van that channels the spirit of the classic air-cooled models. It's anything but retro, though.
Volkswagen’s growing family of ID-badged electric cars has a new mascot: the ID. Buzz. Inspired by the vintage air-cooled Bus models and previewed by a close-to-production concept unveiled in 2017, the heritage-laced van offers an electric powertrain, an eye-catching design, plus an interior that’s high-tech and almost lounge-like.
Predictably, the interior went through roughly the same toning down process as the exterior as the Buzz morphed into a production model. Up front, you’ll find a pair of individual seats mounted relatively high, a 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster that looks like the one fitted to the ID.3 hatchback sold in Europe and the ID.4 crossover, and a 10-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system .
The infotainment system is relatively straightforward; Volkswagen designed it to look and feel like a tablet. It’s reasonably easy to use, it offers sharp-looking graphics, and it responds relatively quickly to input. The touch-sensitive sliders located directly below the screen are a different story. They let the front passengers control the volume and the various climate control functions, and they help give the dashboard a clean and uncluttered look, but they take some getting used to.
Range and charging Volkswagen hasn’t released the American-spec Buzz’s specifications so I’m providing the following figures for context. Built on an 82-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, the European-spec van offers a maximum driving range of 263 miles when put through the European testing cycle, which returns higher numbers than the testing cycle used in America. Zapping the battery pack from 5% to 80% takes around half an hour if you can find a 170-kilowatt quick charger.
