Volkswagen has clarified some new details about the launch of ID.Buzz, the first electric minibus in 2017.

In addition, only the passenger version of ID.Buzz received the American version, while in Europe the commercial and passenger versions of electric minibuses were offered.
The base version of ID.Buzz can have a 200hp rear-wheel drive, while the more powerful version has a 300hp all-wheel drive system.
ID.Buzz's European Commercial Edition, originally introduced as Buzz Cargo, contains sensors and software with independent functions. However, a standalone version can only be offered after the regular version has been introduced.

ID.Buzz would like to pay tribute to the company's premium vehicles that were sold in North America between 1950 and 1980.
Since all of the batteries are installed underground, the production version is expected to be slightly different from the original robust version.
