All‑new ID.Buzz, the icon for a new era

In the ‘60s, the Kombi became a symbol of freedom, bringing people together and creating lasting memories. It remains a true icon, standing out in a time when the word 'iconic' is often overused. Today, Volkswagen celebrates the rebirth of the iconic Kombi with the introduction of the all‑new ID.Buzz Volkswagen’s first fully electric van, that will be available in early 2025 in New Zealand. 

“Designed as an ode to the classic Kombi, the all‑new ID.Buzz embodies the spirit of adventure that has defined Volkswagen vehicles for decades. The Kombi became one of our greatest stories, filled with fond memories that Kiwis to this day hold close to their hearts. Fully reimagined, the ID.Buzz is an electric vehicle for future generations, and will continue to shape our legacy.” says Kevin Richards, General Manager of Volkswagen New Zealand Commercial Vehicles.

Blending innovation, technology, and expressive styling with a touch of nostalgia, the all‑new ID.Buzz offers a 5, 6 or 7‑seat solution, for families, friends and adventures.

Transforming the commercial segment, the ID.Buzz Cargo is designed to make sustainable mobility practical. Businesses will be inspired by a cargo van built for functionality, with a 650kg payload and enough space to accommodate two Euro pallets, enhancing loading capabilities.

Both models are already a global phenomenon, with the ID.Buzz Cargo winning the prestigious industry prize "International Van of the Year 2023" (IVOTY) even before its market launch. Volkswagen New Zealand anticipates a similar reception locally with customers already registering their interest to find out more.

In addition to Volkswagen’s commitment to its legacy, both ID.Buzz models reinforce Volkswagen's dedication to sustainability, craftsmanship, and innovation featuring 100% electric carbon-friendly performance and recycled materials.

A newly developed interior concept, IQ.Light LED matrix headlights that give you a friendly eye blink on arrival and the largest sunroof ever to make its way into a Volkswagen are just some of the highlights that will make their make their way into the all‑new ID.Buzz.

The ID.Buzz will be arriving at your local Volkswagen dealership in early 2025, marking the beginning of a new era. This icon, reborn for the electric age, is ready to bring the spirit of freedom and adventure back to the road. Register your interest here to stay updated with the latest information.
