THE 2025 VOLKSWAGEN ID.BUZZ PRO S+ IS AN ATTENTION GRABBING VAN THAT EXUDES NOSTALGIA

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz Pro S+ is a visually striking electric van that successfully evokes nostalgia for the original Microbus while offering modern EV technology. Its standout retro-modern exterior design commands attention, making it a celebrity on the road. Inside, the spacious cabin provides ample room, particularly in the third row, which offers class-leading legroom for adults. The reviewer highlights comfortable, well-equipped seats with standard heating, ventilation, and massaging functions, along with a vastly improved 12.9-inch infotainment system. However, the ID.Buzz falls short in practical areas: real-world highway range is a disappointing 200 miles, and the cargo space behind the third row is limited. The reviewer also notes a lack of second-row cupholders and a somewhat disappointing massage function, despite being standard. While its driving dynamics are surprisingly sporty for a van, the high price point, starting around $66,000 for the tested model, positions it as a premium, niche offering rather than a direct competitor to traditional minivans.
