Volkswagen ID. Buzz 2024 review – Is it worth the hype? | batchreviews (James Batchelor)

It's been a VERY long time coming. In fact, Volkswagen has been teasing us with a modern version of its iconic Type 2 van for over 20 years, with different concepts and previews showing what could be. But now, eventually, VW has made good on its promise.

Meet the ID. Buzz. It uses a lot of what you'll find in VW's other ID models, such as the ID.3 and ID.4, but wraps all of this up in a retro body. There's going to be a range of Buzzes too – coming along later in 2024 will be a performance GTX and a seven-seater long-wheelbase model.

Here I get behind the wheel of the standard wheelbase Buzz in top-spec trim to see if it's better than an electric SUV and whether they hype surrounding it is really justified.
