The Volkswagen ID.Buzz electric van is a nostalgic tribute to the classic Microbus, but it is a decidedly modern vehicle without a direct rival.
It measures about a foot less than traditional minivans, but the packaging benefits from not having an engine upfront.
The ID.Buzz uses either a single motor with 282 hp to drive the rear wheels or a dual-motor, 330-hp configuration with all-wheel drive.
The cabin has a rather minimalist design, with neat horizontal vents, 12.9-inch infotainment screen, and numerous charge points for mobile devices.
There are many creature comforts on the base van, such as powered, heated, and ventilated front seats.
Options include a heated windshield, panoramic sunroof with electrochromic tinting, and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon stereo.
Volkswagen is expected to provide a full suite of active safety systems.
