Enthusiasm for the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz was initially dampened by its perceived high price tag upon its US arrival. Many felt the starting Id Buzz Price of $59,995 was steep, especially considering its maximum range of 234 miles. Despite years of eager anticipation for this retro-electric van, the price caused some potential buyers to hesitate.
However, the ID. Buzz offers more than just its raw specifications. Having experienced several models firsthand, they possess undeniable charm and demonstrate impressive fast charging capabilities. For those who were undecided due to the initial price, there’s encouraging news: significant discounts are now appearing at local dealerships for the ID. Buzz.
A quick nationwide search on Cars.com reveals a notable trend. Among approximately 1,500 ID. Buzz vans currently listed, a considerable number are priced below the $59,995 starting MSRP, or only slightly above it. This adjusted ID Buzz price range aligns more closely with initial market expectations and presents substantial savings on this three-row electric people mover.
Consider, for instance, an ID. Buzz available in Boulder, CO. This particular model, while the base Pro S rear-wheel-drive version, comes well-equipped and is listed at $48,581. This represents a substantial saving of nearly $12,000. Another example in Long Island showcases a fully-loaded all-wheel-drive 1st Edition in an attractive Mahi Green, now offered at $57,092. This dealer discount amounts to an impressive $15,250. Furthermore, a 1st Edition van in Rhode Island is advertised at a compelling $62,927.
These represent compelling deals for a spacious and eco-friendly electric vehicle. While the duration of these discounts remains uncertain, their quick emergence after the ID. Buzz launch might suggest a slightly lower initial demand than Volkswagen and dealerships anticipated for these vans.

This situation, however, can benefit consumers. The current US market still lacks abundant larger, family-oriented EV options. If a three-row configuration is desired, the choices are limited, primarily to the ID. Buzz and the Kia EV9. While certain EV9 versions offer superior range (up to 304 miles in some configurations), the VW van remains a highly appealing alternative. Its charm and distinctiveness, combined with its practicality for larger families seeking an electric vehicle, make it a strong contender.
All Volkswagen ID. Buzz models are equipped with a 91 kWh battery. Trim levels include the Pro S starting at the previously mentioned $59,995, the Pro S Plus at $63,495, and the launch-exclusive 1st Edition at $65,495. Rear-wheel-drive models achieve an EPA-estimated range of 234 miles, while all-wheel-drive models offer 231 miles. It’s important to note that the ID. Buzz does not qualify for a federal tax credit due to its German production origin; however, this factor is typically considered in lease pricing.
Will these dealer discounts successfully reignite consumer interest in the ID. Buzz? The reduced ID Buzz price point certainly makes this retro-inspired electric van a more attractive proposition for families seeking a unique and spacious EV.
