New Volkswagen ID.Buzz for Sale near Commack, NY

The Volkswagen ID.Buzz electric van finally arrives in the United States.

Volkswagen’s new halo vehicle goes all-in on nostalgia as it attempts to resurrect some brand identity while moving toward an electrified future. In its North American debut, the ID.Buzz took to the streets of San Francisco, a city now known for progressive policies and tech-forward business, but also where a culture of peace, love, and the Grateful Dead made the original Volkswagen Bus a million-units-sold success.

Verdict: The ID.Buzz’s nostalgia is undeniable. During a day of test driving, we drew stares, questions, and plenty of photographs from onlookers. It's not perfect: the driving dynamics are a bit funny, and we expect its long-term sales success may be tempered by the dramatic styling, short electric driving range, and high price tag. But in the short term, we expect this Microbus reincarnation to be the talk of the town.
