- Volkswagen launched its latest IQ.Drive ADAS across 2027 Atlas, Golf, ID. Buzz, and Tiguan models, calling it one of the most comprehensive standard driver-assist suites on US mass-market vehicles
- The 2027 ID. Buzz, Atlas, and Tiguan gain a new rear view camera that detects pedestrians, plus an assisted lane-change feature triggered by the turn signal and Emergency Assist Plus that guides the car to the roadside during a sensed medical emergency
- The ID. Buzz adds Road Experience Management (REM), which crowdsources real-world camera data—lane markings, signs, street lights—to improve map quality in low-visibility conditions, and is part of the In-Vehicle Premium subscription
- A one-year In-Vehicle Premium trial is included on the 2027 ID. Buzz, which VW skipped for the 2026 model year
- VW introduced a new Tourer 4Motion trim designed for overnight camping trips alongside Pro S RWD, Pro S 4Motion, and Pro S Plus 4Motion variants; 2027 pricing has not been announced, while the 2025 ID. Buzz started at $59,995
Why it matters: Coming back from a 2026 hiatus, the 2027 ID. Buzz needs to justify its premium over the 2025 model's $59,995 starting price with subscription-tied REM map data, a pedestrian-detecting rear camera, and a niche Tourer camping trim—though VW has not yet disclosed 2027 pricing for buyers to weigh against those additions.
