- Volkswagen is selling down 2025 ID.Buzz inventory in the US ahead of a pause in 2026 model year imports, citing current EV market conditions.
- Dixon Ford Volkswagen in Dixon, Illinois is advertising a 2025 ID.Buzz Pro S for $48,365, nearly $15,000 below MSRP.
- Volkswagen of Marietta in Georgia lists a new ID.Buzz for $48,991, among the lowest dealer prices found for the model.
- Volkswagen initially targeted baby boomers with the ID.Buzz but faced poor mainstream adoption due to high dealer markups pushing prices over $100,000.
- ID.Buzz features a 91 kWh battery with up to 234 miles of EPA-estimated range and a 282 hp electric motor, with an AWD 4Motion version offering 335 hp and 231 miles of range.
Why it matters: The price drop to under $49,000 makes the ID.Buzz significantly more accessible, but VW’s decision to halt 2026 US imports signals limited confidence in near-term EV demand, risking dealer inventory losses and narrowing consumer options just as affordability improves.
