Volkswagen has officially announced the pricing and EPA-estimated range for the highly anticipated ID. Buzz, the all-electric reincarnation of their iconic Microbus, set to electrify American roads in 2024. This modern take on the classic minivan blends retro charm with cutting-edge EV technology, promising a unique and stylish option for families and adventurers alike. Starting at an MSRP of $59,995 for the Pro S model, the 2024 Volkswagen minivan, known as the ID. Buzz, aims to redefine the electric vehicle landscape.
The ID. Buzz stands out with its distinctive design, a nostalgic nod to the original Microbus, updated for the 21st century. Its oversized VW logo, short overhangs, and expansive windows create an unmistakable silhouette. Volkswagen is offering a wide array of exterior and interior color combinations, allowing buyers to personalize their electric minivan and make a statement on the road.
Inside the 2024 Volkswagen minivan, three unique interior color worlds have been crafted exclusively for the North American market, offering distinct atmospheres. The Copper interior evokes mid-century modern design, featuring rich brown leatherette seats with yellow piping, complemented by brown door inserts and a sophisticated washed wood-look dashboard. Dune, initially unveiled with the ID. Buzz in 2023, presents a bright and airy coastal vibe, combining light grey leatherette seats with clay-colored piping and door inserts, along with a light wood-look dash. For a more dramatic feel, the Moonlight interior offers a moody dark ambiance with dark brown leatherette seats accented by white piping, blue door inserts, a dark wood-look dash, and a black headliner.
