VOLKSWAGEN ID.BUZZ 7-SEAT
BBC Top Gear UK
|January 2025
Volkswagen’s new seven seater ID.Buzz is now the family mover it always should have been
In hindsight, perhaps we were a bit too enthusiastic when the standard ID.Buzz arrived back in spring 2022, anointing it our Electric Car of the Year. We were in raptures about the sunniest piece of design for decades, the nostalgic hugs it handed out as it drove by and the way a van could be an object of desire... and zip along with such frictionless joy. We may have turned a semi-blind eye to the lacklustre range and unimaginative practicality, because we were too busy feeling the peace and love.
