Should you consider this seven-seat electric cool-mobile? (Volkswagen ID.Buzz Pro LWB 2025 Review)

The retro-cool Volkswagen ID.Buzz electric people mover has finally arrived in Australian showroom over 20 years after being teased by 2001’s Microbus concept.

Chasing Cars’ contributor and Volkswagen fanatic Nathan Ponchard takes the Pro Long Wheelbase version for a full test on Aussie terra firma. He tells us what he likes and doesn’t like about the ID.Buzz and, importantly, assesses whether the cool factor actually translates into a solid, contemporary electric family hauler.

The seven-seat extended wheelbase version is joined by a go-fast GTC variant, a SWB five-seater as well as the commercial-focused Cargo. And the big daddy Pro LWB clocks in at $91,290 before on-roads, plus four grand for the must-have two-tone paintwork.
