Volkswagen of America has just announced another delay in the return of its ID. Buzz electric minivan, this time pushing its arrival back to the first half of 2027. The passenger vehicle is now expected to return as a 2028 model, meaning it will also skip the 2027 model year. However, several updates are planned, including two-tone exterior paint options, physical buttons on the steering wheel, a charging port compatible with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and a Tourer version aimed at camping enthusiasts.
This marks the second consecutive model year in which Volkswagen won't offer a new ID. Buzz in the U.S. market. However, the automaker has emphasized that it has no intention of discontinuing the model. Built in Germany and introduced in North America in late 2024 as a 2025 model, the ID. Buzz has faced several obstacles. It was among the most expensive vehicles in Volkswagen's North American lineup, with an official driving range of approximately 372 to 377 kilometres, depending on the version. According to several analysts and industry observers, its high price and relatively limited range have restricted its appeal.
