A success in smiles-per-mile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The general consensus is the Volkswagen ID. Buzz has largely delivered on the hype since coming to North American shores last year<\/a>. The all-electric minivan has brought a hit design and real utility to a market with few-to-no rivals in the EV space. There are more options for EVs every year, but because the ID. Buzz really should compete with traditional minivans like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna, its playful looks and electric powertrain help it stand out in a big way. Let\u2019s have a look at Wade\u2019s 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz<\/a>, our November car of the month<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right off the bat, the ID. Buzz\u2019s biggest selling point is the design. Its sleek, modern take on the friendly VW buses of old feels like it\u2019s hitting a satisfying sweet spot. The two-tone paint and hubcap-evoking wheels make its inspiration instantly recognizable. And since it\u2019s electric and has no engine up front, the ID. Buzz gets to have very little body hanging past the front wheels, which further helps it emulate the classic Microbuses everyone knows and loves. In short, Volkswagen<\/a> hit this design out of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other key component is the voluminous, airy cabin. It uses a similar blend of retro and modern, and is genuinely super practical. The ID. Buzz\u2019s interior is highly configurable, and in Wade\u2019s example, boasts an immense number of cubbies, pockets, and shelves for the storing of items \u2014 a non-negotiable in the minivan world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seats can fold flat or be removed, as they should be able to do in a proper minivan<\/a>. There\u2019s a big screen on the dashboard, ample cupholders, and notably, many charging ports. Actually, there are up to eight<\/em> USB-C ports inside the ID. Buzz, which is a nice touch of minivan practicality meeting the model\u2019s electric nature. \u201cBuzz\u201d is in the name, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s more than straight German utility inside. This Volkswagen has customizable ambient lighting, massaging front seats, and a huge moonroof that adds to the capacious feeling. And there are play and pause icons embossed on the \u201cgas\u201d and brake pedals. Very cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a vehicle of this size, it\u2019s reasonably quick \u2014 5.5 seconds to 60 mph was a sports car acceleration figure not that long ago. Wade\u2019s van here is an all-wheel drive version, which means it has an EPA-estimated 231-mile range on one charge. 231 miles isn\u2019t particularly impressive in the EV world, but it should get the job done for everything but long road trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the ID. Buzz provides most of the practicality you\u2019d look for in a minivan and has some fun party tricks. Sales haven\u2019t been exactly stellar, likely related to its price tag (starting around $60 grand) and less-than-outstanding battery range. But it looks like nothing else on the road and definitely succeeds in putting a smile on your face. And that\u2019s got to be worth a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
