2025 ID.Buzz: The $65,545 VW

DuneVolkswagen’s Buzz will cost first-adopters $61,545 (includes delivery) for starters.  It tops out at $71,545.  The look is retro; the battery electric vehicle’s sticker, however, is contemporary.  Each trim, unlike the original utilitarian panel van, is well equipped. Vehicle range is 234 miles (RWD) or 231 miles (AWD).

The entry Pro S has 20-inch wheels, dual power sliding doors, a power tailgate, heated and ventilated front seats, a 12.9-inch infotainment screen and eight USB-C ports.  The standard second-row bench seat means space for seven passengers.  Price without destination is $59,995, letting dealers tease buyers with a sub-$60,000 base price.

Copper

Pro S Plus starts at $65,045 (RWD) and $69,545 (4Motion).  It has a tow hitch, head-up display and upgraded sound system.  Options include optional captain’s chairs and panoramic glass roof.

1st Edition, based on the Pro S Plus, comes with two-tone exteriors, unique wheels, electrochromic glass roof and a “Dune” interior sporting VW’s bright “coastal” environment:  $67,045 (RWD) and $71,545 (AWD).

Midnight

VW sweetens the Buzz with three interior themes and several exterior colors.  VW’s interior “color worlds” include Copper, Midnight and Dune.  Candy White, Deep Black Pearl and Metro Silver are the single-exterior colors.  Eight two-tone combos include Candy White over Cabana Blue.  Exterior and interior themes vary by trim.

1st Edition models with rear-wheel drive have rear bench seats while the 4Motion has captain’s chairs.  Still thinking small?
