What Happened to the VW ID. Buzz Release Date?

The 2025 VW ID. Buzz has been one of the most-awaited new vehicles in the Volkswagen lineup. You can now see, test-drive, lease, or purchase the long-awaited ID. Buzz at dealerships around the nation, but the wait was a long one! First revealed as a concept car in 2017 at the North American International Auto Show, the new Volkswagen ID. Buzz was set to begin production in 2022, but it didn't start arriving at VW lots in the U.S. until 2025. Although we had to wait a few years for it to finally materialize, the delay was for good reason.

Always an auto brand to maintain its core values, Volkswagen delayed the VW ID. Buzz release date until engineers were satisfied with the van's design. After conducting extensive market research geared toward its consumer base in the United States, Volkswagen spent the past few years working hard to deliver a new vehicle that blends retro VW Microbus energy with the modern-day electric performance and capabilities that American drivers crave.

More specifically, Volkswagen determined that drivers in the United States would prefer a three-row vehicle (European consumers only get a two-row VW ID. Buzz) with updated infotainment systems, a more powerful electric motor, and a larger battery pack for extended VW ID. Buzz range. To make these changes – which involved stretching the wheelbase nearly 10 inches, adding extra USB-C ports throughout the cabin, increasing infotainment memory and CPU capacity, and retooling the infotainment hardware – the Volkswagen team needed time.

Those additional months of production mean one thing for consumers: A near-perfect three-row VW ID. Buzz has made its mark on the North American market. Drivers now have the chance to be part of automotive history by purchasing or leasing this revolutionary new model.

VW ID. Buzz and Microbus History

The concept for the 2025 VW ID. Buzz was developed from design templates for the original Volkswagen Type 2, or "VW Microbus." The VW Microbus was first produced in 1949 to give European citizens a way to tour the Alps. The "Microbus" title came from its miniature bus-like design, which was chosen to fit lots of people.

Not long after its arrival in the U.S. in 1950, the Microbus gained the affectionate nickname of "hippie van" and would eventually rise to fame as a countercultural symbol. Customers had the option to purchase two models of the original bus: the Kombi, which had removable middle and rear seats, and the Commercial, which mimicked the utility of a panel van. The Microbus interior was spacious, the engine was air-cooled and rear-wheel-biased, and families across the United States loved its overall design for being a trendier alternative to a basic station wagon.

The VW Microbus was also highly adaptable – drivers could customize its interior to suit their adventurous activities. Keep in mind that although the Microbus premiered in 1949, it reached peak popularity in the 1960s – a time well-known for its social activism and "peace, love, and rock and roll" mentality. People began adding camper beds and sinks to the flexible interior, enabling an entire generation of American citizens to travel to different voting rallies and civil protests as they fought for a better, more equitable future.
