More than five years after it was first previewed as a concept, Volkswagen’s ID.Buzz<\/a>, the long-awaited successor to the iconic Microbus, is now in production.<\/p>\n

Production of the first customer examples got underway last week at a plant in Hanover, Germany. The plant is where VW also builds its Transporter and Multivan models<\/a>. Production of Audi and Bentley EVs<\/a> will also be handled at the plant starting mid-decade.<\/p>\n

Deliveries of the ID.Buzz in Europe start this fall but U.S. residents will have to wait a bit longer. VW has confirmed that the ID.Buzz will reach the U.S. in 2023 as a 2024 model. The delay is due to the U.S. receiving a long-wheelbase body style that’s still in development.<\/p>\n

VW is building both passenger and commercial versions of the ID.Buzz, the latter known as the ID.Buzz Cargo. It’s likely the U.S. only receives the passenger version.<\/p>\n
