The verdict: The all-new Volkswagen ID. Buzz is one of the most characterful, interesting and fun-to-operate new vehicles on the market regardless of its status as an electric minivan. Groovy, baby!
Versus the competition: Well, ah, there isn’t any competition. At the time of its release, the ID. Buzz is the sole all-electric minivan on the market, with the closest competitor being the Kia EV9 three-row SUV. Compared with that, the Buzz is comprehensibly better for frequently shuttling a full house, though its modest driving range and power might turn some shoppers off of it.
The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz? Oh, that’s a neat vehicle. Drives sweet, looks fantastic, is cleverly packaged. Its $61,545 base price (including destination) and EPA-rated range of 231-234 miles looked to be the double tap keeping consumers out of seats, particularly during a period of slowing EV sales.
