As Volkswagen expands its electric lineup, including the 2025 ID. Buzz and the ID.4 crossover, it brings a suite of technologies and innovations that separate its EVs from the crowd. While range and charging speed are critical factors in any electric vehicle, Volkswagen has gone further by developing platforms and features that enhance practicality, versatility, and the overall experience behind the wheel.
1. Dedicated EV Platform for Optimized Interior Space
Both the ID. Buzz and ID.4 are built on Volkswagen’s MEB (Modular Electric Drive Matrix) platform, which is specifically engineered for electric vehicles. Unlike traditional platforms adapted from gas-powered vehicles, MEB allows for a flat battery under the floor, freeing up massive amounts of cabin space. The ID. Buzz capitalizes on this with a spacious, configurable interior that blends minivan practicality with modern design. The ID.4, meanwhile, offers generous rear-seat legroom and a flat load floor, making it one of the most functional compact electric SUVs available. The result is an interior experience that feels a class above, particularly in passenger and cargo comfort.
2. Smart Charging and Long-Distance Readiness
The 2025 ID.4 and ID. Buzz are both equipped with DC fast charging capabilities up to 175 kW, enabling a 10 to 80% charge in roughly 30 minutes depending on conditions. For home charging, Level 2 capabilities allow for full overnight replenishment. What truly sets these EVs apart, however, is how intelligently they manage energy. The system preconditions the battery before arriving at a charging station (when routed through navigation), ensuring optimal charging speeds. Coupled with route planning that accounts for charging stops and terrain, the experience is designed to reduce range anxiety and streamline long trips.
3. Advanced Driver Assistance and Connectivity
Volkswagen electric vehicles come equipped with the latest IQ.DRIVE safety and driver assistance technologies. This includes lane centring, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, blind spot monitoring, and Emergency Assist. The ID. Buzz enhances daily driving with features such as Park Assist Plus with a memory function and a panoramic augmented reality head-up display. Inside, the infotainment interface has been updated for quicker responsiveness and easier access to frequently used features. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and over-the-air updates ensure vehicles remain up-to-date with the latest software improvements.
Volkswagen’s approach to electric mobility focuses not only on emissions reduction, but also on creating vehicles that elevate comfort, practicality, and confidence behind the wheel. With thoughtful design, robust range, and cutting-edge tech, the ID. Buzz and ID.4 offer a distinctive experience in the electric VUS segment.
