Can I Buy a Volkswagen Bus?

Even though the VW Bus left the market over 20 years ago, drivers have been clamoring for its return. While you can still find the retro Volkswagen Microbus at private vintage car dealers and sometimes in our ever-changing used car inventory, the upcoming Volkswagen electric bus has shoppers wondering when they can take home the iconic Microbus design again. When can I buy a Volkswagen electric bus? The new ID. Buzz is set to appear at North Canton-area dealers in 2024. Stay connected with the team at Volkswagen of Canton to get updates on the VW Electric Microbus. 

VW Electric Microbus

After many years of speculation, Volkswagen enthusiasts are even closer to owning a redesign of the retro VW Bus. The all-electric ID. Buzz has been announced as a part of the 2025 VW electric lineup. It will feature a longer wheelbase with seating for up to seven passengers and a cabin full of the latest technology. Here’s what we know about the ID. Buzz: 

• It’s expected to deliver 260 miles of range with DC fast charging capabilities.
• The ID. Buzz will come with standard RWD and available AWD.
• The longer wheelbase creates room for a larger 85 kWh battery (gross) with a 286-hp electric drive motor, while the all-wheel drive GTX version is expected to be capable of 339-hp output. 
• The interior will feature intuitive technology, including a head-up display, a next-generation infotainment system, and remote parking capabilities through your smartphone. 
• Calling back to the 1950s Samba Bus design, the ID. Buzz will feature a high-tech panoramic sunroof, the largest glass roof built by Volkswagen. 
• Keep an eye out for classic VW accents throughout the cabin, including an illuminated Volkswagen logo on the front. 

It’s been a long time coming, but the Volkswagen electric bus is set to debut in 2024. Keep in touch with the team at Volkswagen of Canton to learn how you can reserve and test drive the new VW Bus.
