VW’s Psychedelic Glamper Van Is a Nod to Its PastVolkswagen
  • VW Commercial Vehicles creates custom van for a music festival in the UK based on the ID. Buzz Cargo.

  • The Glamper Van features a built-in photo booth inside and will debut this weekend at PennFest 2023 in Buckinghamshire.

  • The passenger version of the ID. Buzz is headed stateside in 2024, but VW won't bring all the variants of the new EV to the US.


The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is closer to its hippie past than other recent VW models, with the Eurovan and the Routan managing to largely avoid the aesthetic associations with the classic Bus. But the Buzz can still benefit from psychedelic graphics to reinforce the resemblance, even if some vintage touches were certainly lost in the journey from concept to production vehicle.

A new one-off custom van dubbed the Glamper Van, based on the commercial ID. Buzz Cargo, aims to bring back some of the themes of the ‘60s for a music festival in the UK. Scheduled to debut at PennFest 2023 in Buckinghamshire this weekend, the Glamper Van will feature a built-in photo booth inside, complete with props and interior lighting.

"Following the success of last year's Pamper Van, Volkswagen is pleased to once again be helping festival-goers celebrate in style with the new Glamper Van," said Laura Bignall, Brand and Performance Marketing Manager at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
