Yahoo Autos 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz GTX is one wooly Bulli
The endearingly retro Volkswagen ID. Buzz is scheduled to hit dealers in the U.S. this year, but in typical VW fashion, the automaker has plans for some interesting variants that may never reach our shores. The ID. Buzz GTX is a high-performance van with all-wheel drive, a sporty, a black- and red-clad interior, and a bafflingly low 99 mph top speed. Volkswagen will open the order books for the van this summer, and pricing details will become available closer to the release date.
Perhaps it’s not surprising that VW limited the top speed so strictly, as it’s likely not the most aerodynamic vehicle on the road. That said, it gets fast charging that can boost battery power from 10 to 80 percent in 26 minutes using a DC fast charger, and VW will offer the van in short or long wheelbase lengths. We don’t have range, power, or acceleration numbers yet, but VW said it would be the most potent Bus (or Bulli, if you prefer) of all time and noted a 3,968-pound (1,800 kg) tow rating.
The GTX is unmistakably an ID. Buzz, but VW gave it some more aggressive styling touches. It has a black lower grille and gloss black trim pieces. The automaker equips 20-inch wheels as standard, but two new 21-inch wheel designs are available. An exclusive red or two-tone red/silver paint job is also available.
