The ID.
Buzz electric minivan is a nostalgic tribute to the classic Microbus.
Three-row seating comes standard in either six- or seven-passenger configurations.
The Buzz uses either a single-motor, 282-hp setup driving the rear wheels or a dual-motor, 335-hp configuration with all-wheel drive.
The AWD model has an EPA-rated 231-mile driving range; we got 244 miles during our 70-mph highway-range test, both of which are modest by today's standards.
The minivan drives nicely thanks to quick and quiet acceleration, fairly agile handling, and a reasonably comfortable ride.
It isn't easy to get in or out of the front seats due to a wide step that's nearly the same height as the tall floor.
Once in, the interior is spacious and seats are comfortable in all rows.
The third row is removable but doesn't fold into the floor, hurting practicality.
As we found with the ID.4, many of VW's controls are unintuitive and frustrating to use.
