The ID. Buzz is back, and it took a vacation to come back better. After a sabbatical year, Volkswagen's electric microbus returns in 2027. And not empty-handed.

The ID. Buzz is back, and it took a vacation to come back better. After a sabbatical year, Volkswagen's electric microbus returns in 2027. And not empty-handed.
Four versions, two of them new
2025 model shown
The lineup is being reorganized: Pro S RWD, Pro S 4Motion (new), Tourer 4Motion (new), and Pro S Plus 4Motion. New colors, new wheels, and real physical buttons making a comeback on the steering wheel.
The Tourer: your cabin now has four wheels
This is THE big news. Inspired by the European "Good Night Package," the Tourer turns the van into a refuge:
- Folding mattress with platform
- Window blinds
- Ventilation panels for the front windows
- Outdoor table and chairs
All of it controlled by Overnight mode, which reconfigures the cabin and exterior functions for spending the night on board.
2025 model shown
Built on the Pro S 4Motion, it adds a retractable tow hitch, captain's chairs, an electrochromic roof, the Area View camera, and 20-inch dark graphite wheels with black discs.
ID.S 6: the screen steps up
2025 model shown — the ID.S 6 interface will differ
Every ID. Buzz inherits the ID.S 6 software, built on Android: a redesigned navigation home screen for entering your destination faster, and a more intuitive vehicle settings page. On top of that, a one-year trial of In-Vehicle Premium comes with the new App Store, YouTube, and Spotify on board. Add a NACS adapter and one-pedal driving.
Two-tone, a nod, a legend
Simplified palette: two-tone combinations only. The new one, Candy White over Cherry Red with white wheels, is a direct tribute to the original Type 2. The top-of-the-line version can be fitted with optional 21-inch wheels.
Verdict
2025 model shown
A clearer lineup, richer tech, and a Tourer version that's nothing like a simple electric van anymore. The microbus has never been truer to itself.

FAQ
Is the 2027 Volkswagen ID. Buzz an all-new model?
No. The exterior and interior remain identical to the 2025 model — Volkswagen skipped the 2026 model year. What's new for 2027 is the arrival of the Tourer, the new ID.S 6 software, an entirely two-tone color palette, and the return of real physical buttons on the steering wheel.
What is the range of the 2027 Volkswagen ID. Buzz?
The Pro S RWD offers an estimated range of up to 377 km, while the all-wheel-drive 4Motion versions (including the Tourer) reach about 372 km, based on available data for the 91 kWh battery.
How long does it take to charge the ID. Buzz?
On a DC fast-charging station, the 91 kWh battery can go from 10% to 80% in as little as 26 minutes. A NACS adapter comes standard on the 2027, giving access to an even larger charging network.
How many passengers can the ID. Buzz carry?
The ID. Buzz is offered in 6- or 7-seat configurations. The Pro S RWD uses a folding second-row bench for 7 seats, while the 4Motion versions, including the Tourer, come with captain's chairs for 6 seats.
How much can the Tourer tow?
The Tourer 4Motion, with its retractable tow hitch, offers an estimated towing capacity of 3,500 lb — enough to pull a small camping trailer or a fully loaded bike rack.
When will the 2027 Volkswagen ID. Buzz arrive at dealerships?
Volkswagen has not yet announced an exact on-sale date or pricing for the Canadian market. Concrete details are expected in the coming months — we'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.
