-Sn!PeR- Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 Before you ask, no, we don't yet know how much Volkswagen's retro-futuristic ID Buzz electric van will cost when it arrives in showrooms later this year. We can guess, of course—expect to pay around $60,000 and up before any applicable EV tax incentives kick in—but we no longer need to speculate as to what the 2025 ID Buzz's trim levels will look like. VW has released a detailed outline of the ID Buzz lineup, which will launch in three variants: Pro S, Pro S Plus, and 1st Edition. ID Buzz Pro S Every 2025 ID Buzz will come well equipped with standard 20-inch wheels, a 91-kWh battery, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, wireless device charging, 30-color ambient lighting, electronic parking assistants, IQ.Drive adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist, and at least one electric motor. The entry-level Volkswagen ID Buzz Pro S model will only be available with rear-wheel drive and a single electric motor (4Motion all-wheel drive won't be offered on the Pro S, at least for now), and a second-row bench seat that brings the van's seating total to seven. ID Buzz Pro S Plus Stepping up to the Pro S Plus trim opens up the option for dual-motor all-wheel drive, upping peak output from 282 hp to 335 hp total. Stick with the rear-drive ID Buzz Pro Plus, and you get a second-row bench seat standard, but the option is available for a pair of captain's chairs (limiting total seating to six). Go for 4Motion all-wheel drive, and the captain's chairs are your only choice; you can't get an AWD ID Buzz with the second-row bench or seating for seven. Other benefits of the Pro S Plus over the base Pro S? More standard equipment, of course! There is an expanded parking camera, head-up display for the driver, 700-watt harman/kardon audio system, and a Euro-style manually retractable tow hitch that can tuck up under the bumper when not needed. Options include a panoramic sunroof, as well as a Flexboard, which helps create a flat and level load surface across the backs of the folded seats. ID Buzz 1st Edition This special-edition Buzz will only be offered at the van's launch, so aim to get one while you can. As with the Pro S Plus, the 1st Edition offers both rear- and all-wheel drive configurations, along with exclusive 20-inch wheels, a two-tone paint job, special floor mats, and the "coastal" light-colored "Dune" interior scheme. (Other Buzzes are offered with this same colorway, as well as a darker "Moonlight" scheme and a "mid-century modern" "Copper" layout.) Every 1st Edition comes loaded with a panoramic sunroof, the Flexboard, easy-open power-sliding rear doors and tailgate, the harman/kardon audio system, parking cameras, and 1st Edition badging. Volkswagen will offer several paint color options in addition to the three interior schemes outlined above, with the two-tone choices including a Candy White top with either Energetic Orange, Pomelo Yellow, Blue Charcoal, Mahi Green, Metro Silver, Cabana Blue, or Indium Gray lower; or a Metro Silver roof paired with Cherry Red lower bodywork. For monochrome fans, the Buzz is available in Deep Black Pearl, Candy White, and Metro Silver. Pricing for the ID Buzz lineup will be announced closer to the van's on-sale date this fall, but again, expect to pay nearly $60,000 and up. VW has plans to limit price gouging and other shenanigans, but remember: This will likely be a vehicle with more demand than supply. Range figures for the ID Buzz are similarly forthcoming, but figure on 220 to 260 miles depending on the spec, with rear-drive models going longer distances between charges. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2025-volkswagen-id-buzz-electric-van-price-msrp-trim-levels/
