VW’s electric van is nearly all it needs to be, but the company’s confounding timeline for the product means it won’t arrive in America until 2024.
And yet head-turning doesn’t even start to describe the kind of attention I experienced in a first drive through some coastal towns of its Skåne county in Volkswagen’s ID.Buzz electric van.
This time, VW has kept the retro cues inside and hasn’t gone so far above and beyond with them inside. There’s no vase inside, and no other overt nods to the flower power days. The ID.Buzz is just a very practical, comfortable modern electric van inside, and the biggest concession to the retro snout involves the angled front quarter windows that, from inside, essentially break the A-pillar into two.
Spotify and Apple Music “from now can thus be used in the ID.Buzz even without a linked up smart phone,” according to Volkswagen, although that’s among the many features that might be market-dependent. Vehicles at the test drive were running a quick-reacting and bug-free software version 3.2 that’s just starting to arrive in 2023 ID.4 models and should be available over the air soon.The second row is a bench seat good for three, split 60/40 with reclining backrests, and each section can slide 5.
That said, we got up to around 80 mph and found that wind noise remains well-hushed, perhaps even better so than in the ID.4.
