Volkswagen is bringing back the electric ID.Buzz bus with some cool upgrades for 2027
Volkswagen is bringing back the electric ID.Buzz bus with some cool upgrades for 2027-May 2024
2026-05-15 EDT 16:41:11

Volkswagen skipped the 2026 model year for the ID.Buzz entirely, a move that raised eyebrows and triggered the predictable is the electric bus dead? conversation. Well, it isnt dead after all. The automaker has officially confirmed the 2027 ID.Buzz.

Its arriving with the kind of updates that suggest Volkswagen actually listened to what early owners and reviewers were saying. The headline addition is the Tourer 4Motion, a new trim that turns the electric bus into a legitimate electric camper.

  Whats new in the 2027 ID.Buzz lineup?

The new trim is inspired by the European Good Night Package, and it brings a fold-out mattress with a dedicated platform, window blinds, front ventilation panels, and a stowable outdoor table and chairs.

Recommended Videos Then theres a new Overnight Mode that adjusts lighting, climate, and power management for sleeping inside. Other additions include a retractable tow hitch, second-row captains chairs, and electrochromic panoramic sunroof, 360-degree cameras, and 20-inch dark graphite wheels.

Beyond the Tourer, the entire 2027 ID.Buzz lineup also gets a couple of meaningful upgrades. A NACS adapter is now included in the box, bringing Tesla Supercharger compatibility without the hassle of getting one separately. One pedal drive is now standard across all trims.

  The 2027 ID.Buzz gets plenty of software updates as well

Volkswagens updated ID.6 infotainment software is now available on the electric bus with a redesigned navigation interface. Its new features include myQ Connected Garage remote access, TravelAssist with assisted lane changes, and AirConsole gaming on the infotainment screen.

Whats odd is that the company hasnt announced the pricing and the range of the new electric bus. The 2025 ID.Buzz ranged from $60,000 to $70,000, and EPA-rated range sat at 234 miles for the RWD version and 231 miles for the AWD version. Were not expecting any of the figures to change for the 2027 model, though.
