The Volkswagen ID Buzz is probably the most whimsical, fun, and unique electric vehicle we had in the United States and I was excited to have it back. However, it’s now getting delayed.<\/p>\n
The ID Buzz was discontinued in 2025 and took a break this year. It was suposed to come back for 2027. Now, it won’t return until 2028.<\/p>\n
I was so excited for the ID Buzz’s return.<\/p>\n
To be honest, I was totally fine with the original electric minivan. The cute color choices, tubular body, and creative storage solutions had me sold.<\/p>\n
Maybe I was just starving for something unique in a sea of bland electric SUVs. My colleague kept reminding me that it was super expensive despite having horrendous mileage and none of the charm of the original. And I have to admit, it was pretty silly that the ID Buzz didn’t come with any camping stuff. That was sorta the whole point…<\/p>\n
But Volkswagen listened. Sort of. The 2027 Volkswagen ID Buzz was still going to be expensive, but you could pay even more <\/em>to get the Tourer trim<\/a>, which would give you a bed and blackout shades and a dining set. These changes will still be here when the Buzz returns in 2028.<\/p>\n \u201cThe 2028 ID Buzz brings together meaningful customer-focused enhancements in a single launch, further elevating the ownership experience and strengthening the vehicle\u2019s appeal,\u201d the automaker said in a statement, according to Automotive News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I guess I can’t say the delay is surprising. The Buzz faced a lot of challenges in the United States market, selling about 6,100 units due to its high price point and miserable 200 mile range. Competitors in the same space offered a lot more for less. They just weren’t cute at all.<\/p>\n
