Volkswagen’s electric ID Buzz van will start at $59,995 in the US

Volkswagen has taken one of the final steps toward delivering the ID Buzz in the US by announcing pricing, battery range, and initial options available at launch later this year. The ID Buzz will start at $59,995 for a Pro S model that comes standard with RWD and, crucially, seven seats, as it’s the bigger, long-wheelbase version previously confirmed for the American market.

The 2025 ID Buzz now has a finalized EPA-estimated range of 234 miles for RWD models and 231 miles on the 4Motion AWD ones — well under some expected guesses of 300 or so miles on a single charge for a vehicle that has a sizable 91kWh battery.

The next model up is the Pro S Plus, which starts at $63,495 for RWD with bench seating standard and $67,995 for AWD, which only comes in the six-seat configuration with captain chairs. Plus, it gets you premium features, including a heads-up display, “Area View” surround cameras for easy parking, a 700-watt Harman Kardon sound system with 14 speakers, and easy open and close on the dual power sliding rear doors.

There’s also a launch-only first-edition model that starts at $65,495 with RWD (five seats) and $69,995 with AWD (six seats), both with a standard special dune interior package and several two-tone exterior color options that have candy white on top and the rest in cabana blue, orange, green, and more. The first edition is based on the Pro S trim but includes special 20-inch wheels, roof rail crossbars, special badging, easy doors, the better audio system, and an electrochromic panoramic glass roof (also available on the Plus).
