Globally, the 2025 ID. Buzz is offered in short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase options, the latter growing in length by about 26 centimetres (10 inches). That’s the version we get here in Canada. Since the ID. Buzz is built on a dedicated EV platform, no space sacrifices were made to accommodate gas-powered drivelines. The result is a vehicle with a tremendously long wheelbase, very short overhangs, and industry-leading third-row legroom.
Look closely at the ID. Buzz from the side, and you can see the work of the new platform in action. Notice how close the wheels are to the physical corners of the vehicle? That’s one of the benefits of an all-electric platform. Not only does this configuration make for more stable handling and a more comfortable ride, but it can also give the vehicle superpowers when it comes to maximizing space. From that foundation, flexible seating and cargo-area innovations allow drivers to convert the interior of the ID. Buzz from lounge to bed to workshop to minivan in moments.
It’s functionality and innovation like this that helped the ID. Buzz recently secure the title of 2025 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year, from the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year (NACTOY) Awards, which are widely regarded as one of the industry’s most prestigious.

In addition to Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE array of safety and assist features, front and rear park distance control (PDC), park assist plus with memory parking, dynamic road sign display, and light assist are all standard. There’s a head-up display and 12.9-inch infotainment display, as well as a 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster for a modern, high-tech flair on board.
How much interior space will the VW ID. Buzz have?
You’ll find no shortage of space on board for the dollar, either. With 4,120 litres of cargo space, the ID. Buzz roughly ties the GMC Suburban for maximum cargo space, and offers 20% more than the Ford Expedition Limited Max.
