You might be surprised. It looks low. When I bought the car that I have now I had five boxes to check and one of them was a car low enough that I could just slide in and slide out. No having to fall out of it or climb up in it. The salesman led me directly to a Ford Flex. It checked every box.

My husband needs a higher seat, @monicakm.  Something like a practical but blah Forester.

 

We took our first ride in our son's new low slung Honda yesterday.  He needed help to get out.

The ground clearance of my Ford Flex is 5.9 in. Ground clearance for this new Volkswagen is 6.3 in.

That is less than one half of an inch taller than my car.  You will not have to climb up in that van, just slide right in.

I'm sure the seats in this VW are height adjustable 🙂

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is manufactured in Hanover, Germany. The ID. Buzz is a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) that's produced by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. 
 
Explanation
  • The ID. Buzz is assembled at Volkswagen's commercial-vehicle plant in Hanover. 
     
  • Volkswagen is investing in electrifying its German locations, including €2.3 billion through 2026.  
     
Volkswagen will be moving some or all of the ID. Buzz production out of Germany to its plant in Poland. This would be part of a plan to cut costs and stay competitive amid stiff competition from China. 
 
MSRP for this vehicle is $62,385

Long ago and far away, parents of a friend had one.  We rode in the cargo area, several at a time.  On the freeway 😂  Think the engine was in back too, so we had fumes 😂

I'm with you...love this Van!

 

My first car was a VW Bug...years later I had a Scirocco which was stolen from the commuter lot where I parked.

 

Fast forward...bought a new Tiguan (hate the name, liked the car)....and currently own a VW Atlas which I love.

 

My best guy friend was a VW mechanic and had a wonderfully funky shop I used to visit.  Every kind of VW in the process of being repaired.  He hated them, but had a souped-up Bug.  He was also a drag racer.

 

Now that I could afford that van, I might get one in the next few years.

I have no idea the cost since I'm never going to buy one.


It is cute, but starting at about 60K, I believe, I'll pass. For that much there are other vehicles I'd rather have,though I did always want a bug convertible, a VW Karman Ghia convertible or an original VW mini bus.
