Take a look at Volkswagen’s iconic minibus redesigned as an adorable EV

If an object can convey both the past and the present, it does.

The ID is an electric redesign of Volkswagen's groovy mid-centruy T1 Microbus. There is buzz. The new EV comes with an electric motor and autopilot driving features, as well as personality-filled curves and playful details that make it live up to the promise of a microbus that can be both nostalgic and futuristic.

The fact that it's an ID. The design of Buzz was made possible by the fidelity of the T1 Microbus. The flat front of the bus is due to the fact that electric motors are much smaller than combustion engines.

Jeffrey Lear, Volkswagen's sales and marketing product manager, said that it was not possible to use a combustion engine in the front of the car.

There is some sad news for Americans. The card. Europeans will be able to order Buzz in 2022, but it will only be available in 2023. The American version will be on sale in four years.

There are differences between the American and European versions. The Euro version has just one back row, but plenty of trunk space. There is an American ID. Buzz will be bigger and have a third row.

The ID is necessary delayed gratification for Americans. Buzz is a cute car. Sure, it has an electric motor with a maximum Torque of 229lb-ft. Have you seen the two-tone colors on the exterior? The two-tone color scheme continues on the interior.

The ID.4 is built with Volkswagen's Modular Electric DriveKit ( MEB), which is a series of specifications and capabilities for the guts and computer that power other VW EVs. It has integrated driving directions into the dashboard and has some features like adaptive cruise control. The huge front logo on the car makes it look like it has a goofy grin.

The card. Those trying to live the #vanlife can use Buzz. Customers can use an attachment that slides into the trunk and over the flattened back row seats to create a platform for a mattress. There are wireless charging points for the driver's seat.
