The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz signals a bold new chapter in electric mobility, fusing timeless design with cutting-edge technology. More than just an EV, the ID. Buzz reimagines what an electric vehicle can be—versatile, sustainable, and refreshingly fun to drive. Built for the everyday and the extraordinary, it’s a vehicle equally at home in dense city traffic, wide-open highways, or weekend getaways off the beaten path.

This new era of the ID. Buzz brings flexibility to the forefront, with drivetrain options designed to suit a range of driving preferences and environments. Whether you prioritize smooth daily commuting or the added traction for all-weather confidence, the platform is engineered to deliver refined electric performance with minimal compromise. Its modern electric drivetrain is supported by a host of intelligent systems that enhance efficiency, responsiveness, and driver control.

Underneath its sculpted body lies a thoughtfully balanced chassis, complemented by advanced braking and regenerative energy features that contribute to a smooth, controlled, and efficient ride. Innovative driving modes and intuitive controls bring a more engaging experience behind the wheel, while engineering focused on weight distribution and vehicle dynamics ensures comfort doesn’t come at the cost of agility.

Positioned as a leader in the next wave of EVs, the 2025 ID. Buzz reflects Volkswagen’s forward-looking approach to mobility. With enhancements introduced for this latest model year—including improvements in powertrain capability, design refinement, and overall versatility—the ID. Buzz continues to evolve while staying rooted in the joyful, iconic spirit that defines it.

POWER & PERFORMANCE: THE 2025 ID.BUZZ’s ELECTRIC DRIVETRAIN

The drivetrain and engine specifications of the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz represent a thoughtful fusion of modern EV performance and the spirit of classic VW design. Engineered for versatility, smooth handling, and confident acceleration, the ID. Buzz’s all-electric platform delivers a driving experience that’s both refined and responsive. Whether navigating city streets or cruising open highways, it offers a balance of power, control, and everyday usability that meets the demands of today’s drivers.

Built on Volkswagen’s MEB architecture, the ID. Buzz benefits from a low center of gravity, quiet operation, and seamless torque delivery—all hallmarks of next-generation electric vehicles. With multiple drivetrain options and a focus on intuitive performance, it invites drivers into a new era of mobility, while still honoring the charm and utility of its iconic predecessor.

The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz offers a versatile electric powertrain with two distinct configurations: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD). In the RWD setup, a single permanent magnet synchronous motor is positioned at the rear axle, delivering 282 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. The AWD variant adds a front asynchronous motor, increasing overall output to 335 horsepower, with 413 lb-ft of torque at the rear and 99 lb-ft at the front. This dual-motor setup enhances traction, stability, and overall performance.

Both RWD and AWD models are equipped with a 91 kWh gross capacity lithium-ion battery, offering 86 kWh of usable energy. This shared battery configuration supports consistent performance across trims, while acceleration figures reflect the difference in drivetrain: approximately 7.4 seconds from 0 to 60 mph for RWD models and a quicker 6.0 seconds for AWD.

Drivers will also benefit from regenerative braking, which helps capture energy during deceleration, and the intuitive 1-pedal driving system, allowing for smoother starts and stops with minimal pedal use. These features contribute to a more efficient and engaging driving experience, particularly in stop-and-go traffic or city environments.

Towing capacity is another strong point for the ID. Buzz. The RWD version is rated to tow up to 2,600 pounds when braked and 1,650 pounds unbraked. The AWD model offers even greater capability, with a maximum braked towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Together, these specifications reflect the ID. Buzz’s dual nature as both a lifestyle EV and a capable utility vehicle.

FAST, FLEXIBLE, AND FAMILIAR: CHARGING THE 2025 ID. BUZZ

The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz is designed to take the stress out of going electric. With a flexible charging setup and thoughtfully engineered power management, it delivers a smooth transition for first-time EV owners and a confident experience for seasoned drivers alike.

Whether plugging in at home overnight or topping up at a public fast charger, the ID. Buzz makes staying charged easy and intuitive. Its consistent charging architecture across trims means you don’t have to choose between convenience and capability—every version is built to keep up with your day-to-day demands. Paired with a thoughtfully tuned range and multiple charging options, the ID. Buzz proves that driving electric doesn’t have to come with compromises.

When it comes to range and recharging, the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz delivers competitive numbers that align with its practical, family-focused mission. The single-motor rear-wheel-drive (FWD) variant offers an estimated 234 miles of range, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) model sees a slight dip to 231 miles—no surprise given the added weight and performance hardware.

Both configurations make use of a 91-kWh battery pack (86 kWh usable), with consistent charging performance across all trims, including Pro S, Pro S Plus, and the launch-only 1st Edition.

For home charging, the ID. Buzz is flexible. Plugged into a standard 1.2-kW household outlet, drivers can expect a marathon 94-hour charge time—more of a backup plan than a daily solution. Upgrading to a 7.2-kW Level 2 setup brings that down to 15 hours, while a full 11-kW connection cuts it further to a respectable 9-hour window. Regardless of setup, the onboard AC charger tops out at 11 kW. Those on the go will benefit most from DC fast charging, where the Buzz supports up to 200 kW. At a public fast charger, the battery can jump from 10 to 80 percent in just 26 minutes. In ideal conditions, that nets around 81 miles of range in 10 minutes for the FWD model and around 79 miles for the AWD.

BALANCED, BUILT, AND READY: THE 2025 VW ID. BUZZ’S ENGINEERING FOUNDATION

Beneath its retro-inspired exterior, the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz is built on a thoroughly modern platform engineered for confident handling, long-term durability, and everyday comfort. This section takes a closer look at the foundational elements that influence how the Buzz drives, how it feels on the road, and how it’s been tailored for a variety of real-world conditions. From ground clearance to curb weight, brake setup to wheel sizing, these key mechanical components define the vehicle’s poise and practicality.

The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz maintains a ground clearance of 6.3 inches (161 mm) across both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants, offering a comfortable balance between elevated visibility and low-profile composure. It’s high enough to feel confident over rougher surfaces, yet grounded enough for smooth, stable handling on daily drives.

Curb weight ranges from 5,988 to 6,197 pounds depending on configuration, with the added weight of the AWD system accounting for most of the difference. The platform’s low-mounted battery helps manage that heft, keeping the center of gravity in check and giving the Buzz a planted, composed ride feel.

Wheel and tire sizing is substantial right out of the box. Up front, the ID. Buzz runs 8.0×20 ET45 wheels with 235/50 R20 tires, while the rear gets a wider 9.5×20 ET56 setup paired with 265/45 R20 tires. The result is a confident stance and solid grip under acceleration or cornering—especially noticeable in the dual-motor AWD version.

Stopping power comes courtesy of 15.0-inch vented front discs and 13.0-inch rear drum brakes, managed by an electro-mechanical parking brake. While the drum rears might raise eyebrows, the setup is tuned for efficiency and low maintenance—fitting for a van that blends utility with next-generation electric design.

A MODERN ICON, BUILT FOR WHAT’S NEXT

The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz is more than an electric reboot—it’s a redefinition of what a multi-purpose vehicle can be in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. From its flexible powertrain options to its cleverly engineered platform, the Buzz blends nostalgic charm with modern practicality in a way that few EVs manage.

It’s designed not just to keep up with the pace of everyday life, but to enhance it—whether you’re commuting through the city, setting out on a weekend road trip, or simply enjoying the ride. With thoughtful range and charging solutions, well-balanced driving dynamics, and a chassis built to carry people, gear, and expectations with ease, the ID.
