Discover the ID. Buzz: the rebirth of the Westfalia
VW's famous microbus is back! Known at one time as the Westfalia, the vehicle that has become as (if not more) mythical than the Beetle will be reborn as an electric vehicle named ID. Buzz. It will be equipped with powerful electric motors, a modular interior and an impressive range thanks to its fast-charging battery. Find out more by reading on!
Pricing for the all-new ID.Buzz - MSRP expected to start at $44,995
As for the price of the ID.Buzz, the German giant expects a starting cost of between $44,995 and $60,000 or less for the province of Quebec; amounts are lower elsewhere on the Canadian market.
The good news is that since the Volkswagen ID. Buzz is 100% electric, it's possible it could qualify for the $5,000 federal grant.
→ As a reminder, to qualify for the Canadian government grant, a vehicle must have an MSRP of less than $45,000, plus up to $10,000 in options, for a total of $55,000. If the vehicle has 7 seats, the maximum amount is $55,000, with a maximum of $5,000 in options.
Once the Canadian price of the ID.Buzz is known, it will be easier to determine how much subsidy buyers will be eligible for.
VW electric minibus release date - 2024 in Canada
The first ID. Buzz models were supposed to appear in Canada in 2022, according to Volkswagen's schedule. Unfortunately its release date has been delayed, and is now scheduled for the year 2024 in Canada.

Volkswagen's microbus is also the world's first electric multipurpose van with a fully automated driving mode. In the automated mode "ID. Pilot" mode, the driver can turn the seat 180 degrees to converse with other occupants.
Moreover, it seems as if VW will also offer the possibility of removing seats, which will prove to be extremely practical in order to increase interior space when needed. Backseats will be able to recline for more comfort for passengers and a foldable tray will be available for them as well.
