The Volkswagen ID.Buzz 2025 is the modern version of the iconic Kombi, now fully electric and available for customization on the company’s website.

With three versions — Pro S, Pro S Plus, and First Edition — buyers can choose between rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with power ranging from 282 to 335 horsepower, all powered by an 86.0 kWh battery that provides up to 376 kilometers of range.

While customization options are limited, the nostalgic design and two-tone finishes catch the eye, especially for those looking for a family electric van with a retro touch.

Car and Driver revealed four different types of customizations made by its contributors. The first opted for the First Edition with all-wheel drive, highlighting that despite the high starting price, the model comes fully equipped, including two-tone paint and a panoramic sunroof at no extra cost. In contrast, the second chose the Pro S Plus with rear-wheel drive and a monotone paint job, preferring a more subdued and practical style focused on cost-effectiveness and using the van as a weekend camper.

A third also chose the Pro S Plus but preferred to spend more on details like second-row seats and a sunroof while maintaining the rear-wheel drive motor for greater range. The fourth highlighted the differences between the European and American versions of the ID.Buzz, opting for the Pro S Plus with all-wheel drive for better performance. He selected a discreet black paint and emphasized the importance of the sound system and electrochromic panoramic roof as technological differentiators that enhance the driving experience.

Overall, all contributors sought to tailor the ID.Buzz to their preferences, balancing price, design, and functionality.
