[Auto] The Volkswagen ID Buzz already has an official date to arrive in the United States

[#Steeven.™]

Volkswagen's ID range has been a catalyst for its commercial offensive. Thanks to the development of the new MEB platform, they have been able to create a family of models that ranges from the B segment to the competitive E segment. Among them there is a very special one that takes us back to the brand's golden age. We refer to the Volkswagen ID Buzz, a van that, thanks to its charming design, has managed to penetrate the hearts of fans of the brand.

When we saw the Volkswagen ID Buzz for the first time, we were pleasantly surprised, especially by the great resemblance of its design to the T1. However, it was not until later that they confirmed their arrival on the assembly line. Shortly after, they announced that their production would take place exclusively in Germany and, now, they are taking another step forward. The brand has confirmed that it will be sold in the US, daring to give an exact date. Do you know which?

The landing of the Volkswagen ID Buzz in the United States will be in 2024

Thanks to various sources, including Car & Driver, we have learned about the plans that the German consortium has for the Volkswagen ID Buzz. It has been Carsten Intra, head of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles USA, who has announced the date on which it will start its sale in the US. If all goes according to plan, the first market to receive it will be Europe. This will occur in early 2022 and later, in mid-2023, it will reach the other side of the pond.

In addition, Intra wanted to comment on the way in which the range will be made up. Customers in Europe will be able to choose between two versions: passenger and cargo. However, the Americans will have to settle for the former. The reason why they would have made this decision is not clear, although there are sources that suggest that it was due to tariffs. Apparently, this type of vehicle must pay a 25% tax to enter the country.

As a complement, Intra reported that in the US only versions with a short wheelbase will be available. Finally, he reconfirmed what we have all known for a long time. The Volkswagen ID Buzz does not yet have a definitive trade name. This and many more data will be public when 2022 approaches and the date of its world debut. We are expectant, because we want to know how much it changes.
