TOP 5 REASONS TO BUY OR PASS 2025 VW ID. BUZZ

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz arrives in North America as a highly anticipated electric van, blending retro styling with modern EV practicality. The "First Edition" trim, exclusive to Canada for the first year, comes fully loaded, offering buyers a choice between RWD and AWD configurations. Key highlights include its exceptionally spacious interior, particularly the third row which boasts class-leading legroom, making it a compelling people mover. The "interior grooviness" is noted, with comfortable, feature-rich seats and a large infotainment screen. Driving dynamics are surprisingly agile for its size, with a tight turning radius and a footprint that feels smaller than expected. However, potential buyers should consider the range, which is slightly below the current EV average at 372-378 km, and the absence of one-pedal driving and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities. The price point is also a significant factor, with the AWD First Edition starting at $82,999 CAD, positioning it against competitors like the Kia EV9. Despite these drawbacks, the ID. Buzz's unique design, immense practicality, and standout third-row space make it a strong contender for families and those seeking a distinctive, functional EV.
