2025 ID. Buzz starting at $59,995 for Pro S; 234 miles of range for RWD models, 231 miles for 4Motion models

Volkswagen of America announced pricing and the EPA-estimated range for the ID. Buzz, the electric reincarnation of the iconic Microbus which debuts in the US later this year. Pricing for ID. Buzz models will start with the Pro S at an MSRP of $59,995, Pro S Plus at $63,495, and the launch-only 1st Edition at $65,495.
At 100% charge, rear-wheel-drive models will offer 234 miles of EPA-estimated range and 4Motion all-wheel-drive models will offer 231 miles of EPA-estimated range.
The entry-level ID. Buzz Pro S is a rear-wheel-drive only model. The Pro S offers a second-row bench seat to accommodate up to seven passengers. Building from the Pro S model, Pro S Plus pricing starts at $63,495 MSRP for RWD and $67,995 for 4Motion AWD.
The launch-only 1st Edition starts at $65,495 MSRP for RWD and $69,995 MSRP for 4Motion AWD.
Fun styling and a clever name are going to have a hard job making up for disappointing range from a 91kWh battery.
At $63k -$70k, the Buzz is competing with far more capable EVs. Without NACS and 300+ mile range, this won’t be a good candidate for sport van conversions and lifestyle adventure. (light camping/festivals/etc)
Could be a good family hauler / soccer mom platform if the stereo and interior appointments live up to its BMW / Mercedes level price tag.
