We Check Out The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz LWB - And It's Every Bit As Good As Promised

The Volkswagen ID.Buzz has been on sale in Europe for quite some time now in its standard short wheel base variant. And, based on what we've been hearing from some of you, it's already got quite the fan base.
Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited to the U.S. launch event of that vehicle's slightly larger sibling - the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz LWB. While the smaller ID. Buzz isn't due to go on sale in the U.S. and Canada, we were lucky enough to drive both the rear and 4motion (all wheel drive) variants - and here's what we think.
As the title suggests, this is a modern-day microbus that, aside from its price point, ticks all the boxes.
