After waiting for more than two decades to see the electric van, Volkswagen finally unveiled this week in Paris the production-ready ID. Buzz. It showed the standard-wheelbase passenger model along with the Cargo workhorse. A stretched version has already been promised for a launch in the United States in 2024, with a California camper due to arrive about a year later.
What else has VW Commercial Vehicles on the agenda for the Microbus' electric revival? Top Gear magazine has learned a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version will join the lineup at some point. That doesn't come as a surprise since the hardware is already available in the ID.4 GTX and ID.5 GTX SUVs packing around 300 horsepower. In the US, where the swoopy ID.5 is not available, the all-paw setup is simply known as the AWD model.
