Volkswagen Singapore officially unveils the ID.Buzz and ID.Buzz Cargo on Sentosa
As the first market in the ASEAN region to launch these models, Singapore is poised to experience the ultimate blend of sustainability, style and innovation.
The ID. Buzz's striking design pays homage to the iconic Volkswagen Type 1 Kombi and Transporter, albeit updated with a modern all-electric twist.
“Today marks a truly exhilarating moment for all of us, as we gather to celebrate the highly anticipated launch of the Volkswagen ID. Buzz in Singapore. Since we first previewed the ID. Buzz in Singapore in 2023, we received overwhelming interest. We are delighted to now welcome it to Singapore, a lighthouse market for electric vehicles. The ID. Buzz has seen strong global demand for passengers and cargo operators, with the ID. Buzz Cargo in particular attracting customers with its sustainability credentials and likeable character,” said Dr. Kurt Leitner, Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Singapore (opening photo, second from the right).

Available in four vibrant bi-colour options and three single-colour choices, this electric marvel is sure to turn heads, as its spiritual predecessor's nostalgic charm is reimagined through sleek lines, LED Matrix Headlights and 3D LED Rear combination lights. The ID.Buzz's exterior design seamlessly blends retro aesthetics with futuristic elements, which creates a unique visual experience.
Volkswagen's commitment to environmental responsibility shines through in the ID.Buzz's eco-friendly materials. The steering wheel rim is crafted from polyurethane, replacing leather and other animal-derived materials. Seat covers boast SEAQUAL yarn, comprising 10% marine plastic and 90% recycled PET bottles. This dedication to sustainability extends to the ID.Buzz's production process, which is built on the brand's MEB modular electric car platform.
