The commitment to matching or complimenting a vehicles paint to Andrea’s outfits is absolute perfection. No other channel does this and it’s a small but professional detail that we all ❤️ you guys are the best in the biz keep it up!!!
The memories I have of driving in and using the old VW vans was that they had a camper set-up in the rear, a sink, small fridge, bench that turns into a bed, and a pop-top so you could stand up inside when cooking and doing camping stuff. For me... no camper model, no deal.
You all be interested about cars but here’s me drooling at ma girl Andrea’s wardrobe choices! I’m mindblown you have wardrobe to cover every color and style combination 🤯
Wow! I was watching this on my TV and had to come to my phone to comment, what a great review! The camera work and layout of the video is really impressive. And as always, Andrea is the fashion icon of the automotive industry! Keep up the great work.
@@andreaspencer9813 Andrea you are a great addition to the auto reviews team. Your style and the outfits are always onpoint great attention to detail. Zack is a very lucky man indeed. 💯
I have owned numerous vw models over the last so years including an old 65 cargo van in Europe during my hippie travels. Never have we ever had ANY major issues with any of them.. cant same the same with our 2018 Toyota Highlander. We’re in line for an iD 4.
Very cute and quirky. I am in the never-again Volkswagen camp after once owning a nightmare Jetta, but VW does have their appeal. I love how Andrea always matches the car - they must have told you in advance of your trip which color you would get to see? One of these days we need a closet tour for Andrea (and maybe combined with a watch tour for Zack). As a woman of a similar age but zero fashion sense, I am always in awe of Andrea! :)
It's funny but every VW owner I personally know says the same thing. Never again. But that is generally true for most German makes once they get bills for things like brakes that are 10 times more expensive and last half as long as the Japanese cars. This van looks great and hopefully, they learned a lesson from the terrible "New Beatle" where VW had such a great opportunity to build a cute car and make it reliable. Why is it so hard to make a reliable car? If Toyota can do it then why doesn't VW buy one and reverse-engineer them. This van with Toyota reliability would be great - I mean when it comes to looks the Sienna LOL - uggh. Maybe they should team up - VW for the Style and Toyota for the substance.
Similar to Ford's Bronco, VW really nailed the retro vibe with this, oh so "cool"! This will be a great, non frumpy option for those who need or want a minivan or a 3 row EV. I think I hear the CA VW dealers phones ringing non-stop!
It seems like about 10 years since i first saw the "VW Bulli," which was the **NEW** gen Bus that VW promised. Fast forward to today, and they are STILL saying they need 2 more years. Positives: interior styling; exterior not bad, but could have been a lot more futuristic. Negatives: will be priced way too high for most folks; expected VW (lack of) reliability; BEV gremlins. I think it's smart to offer the 5-pasenger model in Canada; don't know why they didn't want to market that in the US. I predict lots of "fun" interest when it finally appears... but few sales compared to the investment in time and money for this thing.
Andrea looks amazing! Zack look just ok. Zack needs to fully join light side of the Force . Cameras love the light colors. That Blue exterior and white/clay interior POPS.
I have driven and loved many vans over the years. I am hoping this starts a new trend to bring them back. I do wish the shorter van would be available in the USA. I haven't done much research on new VW reliability. But, our 1970 VW is currently sitting in the garage not running. 😂
Looking forward to the camper version ... my only complaint is that they seem to have dropped the glass openness of the original. The original felt completely airy and open. The new model has smaller windows, and all the high seatbacks that make it look much more claustrophobic
The window pillars has to be much bigger than the original version because of rollover protection and now with the side curtains air bags you have to leave room on the top of the windows and the high back seats is the same it’s for rear crash protection
I am watching from Europe to see your review - great Job. Love the Buzz, if I am looking for an excuse to buy one...I really don't need one...but the design is really great.
Damn! Volkswagen is trying to resurrect the ‘minivan’ industry with style! All whilst taking it to a new level. Unfortunately that new level isn’t just the latest innovations, the coolest tech and this evolutionary radical… ‘retro’ design… it involves attracting a new level of client… rich. Which sadly isn’t me. The Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth minivans established the minivan market because they provided an any size family vehicle that gave them space/fuel economy/size and all the creature comforts or more (T&C)… and most importantly at a respectably affordable price. This new Volkswagen minivan is basically a ‘Fashion Statement’. All that being said… I do think it looks Super Cool! Thanks for the video.
Wonderful concept - great for us old hippies and flower children. If only it were a hybrid. Just finished a 10 day, 5500km roadrip to N. California. There were many places it would have been very hard to find a place to charge it in an expeditious manner. A roadtrip vehicle, this is NOT. A city runabout or short distance highway car - maybe. I've always said, "You can't supply me a car like this with a long enough extension cord." I stand by that to this day. You didn't mention price. Wait for it and hold onto your wigs!!! This is going to be a VERY expensive golf cart (pun intended, VW).
Great video, you guys! Another job well done. I know this vehicle has been a long time coming with many set backs on the release year. Looking at the ID Buzz compared to the original, I wish they had been able to better adapt the striking look of the original front with that iconic V-shape. I know there is a huge fan base and love for the original and many will be glad to have this as a futuristic version. While I think the inside looks good, the outside doesn't do it for me. I know it's hard to make a mini-van look good but this just looks so frumpy. It's very blocky. I know today's vehicles have more room and a wider wheel base and the original pillars of the VW Bus would not be adequate for today's safety standards but Volkswagen could have incorporated some of the other original design elements like the V-shape in the front, rounded headlights, and possible even some of the chrome elements. It seems like a missed opportunity not to lean into those nostalgic design cues in the same way they did when they created the New Beetle. If it better captured the VW Bus I think it could be given a pass on it's frump. I know some will love it as is and the fact that they are both vans with the VW logo will be all the commonality to the original some buyers will need. Those small similarities won't be enough to get me overlook the likely high price in 2023 or the fact that I can probably do better for reliability.
Beautiful vehicle and really shows its roots. As someone who has purchased several VW's over the years, be prepared for extremely high dealer mark-ups.
I'm thinking the only thing that will hold it back is pricing. Can't see a decently equipped Canadian trim level being less than $60K which would be a non starter for most, limiting this to upper middle class on up families looking to meet the cool one-upping the Jones quotient.
I love everything about it and I have honestly been waiting for this car for nearly three years. Unfortunately two things are going to kill this dream for me at least in the first few years 1) no reservation system so first come first serve meaning massive markups. I refuse to pay anything except msrp. 2) only 170kw charging. This is much too slow for a car with a 91kw battery. Any car worth road tripping needs to have at least 250kw if it runs on a 400v architecture.
Very promising, a lot to like. But with the problems with their ID4 (and our ownership problems with a Jetta that made us swear off VW); for us, we'll need a couple years of real world use before we'd seriously consider it. I really do hope they got it right.
How bad is the ID4? i was considering it when im ready to go EV. saw that it mostly has software issues. I got a GTi currently and its been the best car i've ever owned. Made me a VW fan. Sorry to hear about your jetta!
@@Nizon VW has a poor track record on the software updates. New ID.4s should behave far better than the earlier models. Same software issues on the ID3.
This is a much better design than Europe one and it’s still cute. Glass roof looks scary one. 😆 overall it’s a great vehicle and great for group tour and great for family and/ or group tour. Colours are smart. 👍🏻👍🏻 Great video Andrea!
Why can't VW disclose range and pricing? I'm sure they have some idea. I like it but I will probably have to win the lottery before ordering. Good job on the preview.
They're certainly doing a fine job of building anticipation for this model. Dare I say it? The advance buzz about this VW. Love the features and design, but everyone is hanging on those range numbers.
I think it would be worth reviewing if the price and range were known. Kinda of important. My take on it would be to delay a review once those are known.
Andrea needs to do a handstand to match the Buzz color. ☺️. Looks very comfy………they need to make a camper version, with a roof solar panel 🙂👍. Love the fun interior colors !
There's just so much history associated with the VW bus, 70 years! It's one of those models everyone has fond memories of and now VW has electrified it.
Tôi rất thích những chiếc xe bạn review❤. Nó quá đẹp và nhiều mẫu ở nước tôi k có. Tôi cũng rất thích và muốn sống ở Canada nhưng k biết cách nào để sang đó!
Great review, nice format. Love the Design of this vehicle, space & color options, too bad it's a VW 😥 and it took them way too long to bring it to market.

So glad to finally hear what we get in Canada. Oh, and VW, just take my money. :)
That's a really cool-looking vehicle and it pays homage to its former inspiration.
It's the coolest, VW did such a great job with the Buzz.
Fabulous review and great editing/camera work. You guys just get better every single time. Gladiator we salute you!

I’m pretty sure it’s not by accident
Looks like she could not find blue pants.
Love the look. Lots of questions about range, typical battery life, price, etc.
Can’t wait to see this driving around ✨
I love the idea of this vehicle... just makes me smile every time I look at that front grill
It could be nostalgic but it looks awesome! Will wait for it!

I REALLY REALLY love this vehicle! The options are fantastic. Charging ports everywhere? Sign me up. Bet this one will be expensive.
This is the only EV I'd consider. Thanks for the very well done video, guys.
Wow, the North American VW ID. Buzz is a game-changer
Nice review, very amazing retro look and modern look at same time; nice work vW.
This is cute, love it, looks a lot better than other mini vans. I'll get a Mazda CX-90 PHEV for 3-4 years then switch to this one.
I currently have a 2021.5 VW Atlas, I have been seriously considering trading it in for this whenever it comes out. Can't wait to see it in person!
It's pretty cool!
Slick van. I'd only want to turn that "sunroof" into a solar panel.
Similar to Ford's Bronco, VW really nailed the retro vibe with this, oh so "cool"! This will be a great, non frumpy option for those who need or want a minivan or a 3 row EV. I think I hear the CA VW dealers phones ringing non-stop!

Electric cars are best for city use right now. I wouldn't even dream of trying a lengthy road trip in one unless I had a long range Tesla.
I’d be buzzed for a hybrid version.
Vw multivan t7
I watched a number of these reviews on the Buzz, yours is the best- nice work!
Good summary and introduction to the ID. I've clicked on other videos that are way too long and technical. Please keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!

Sounds like a great vehicle. FINALLY car makers are offering more interior colours than Henry Ford's old black black black.
I'm in love with the ID Buzz

Amazing review and video editing. You guys are one of the best auto reviewers on TH-cam!!!
Cool looking... reminds me of what future cars looks like in an 80's future syfi movies.
Hadn’t seen talk about #9. Thanks for specifying that
I like it. It's way nicer than your average frumpy mini-van. But, I bet it ain't gonna be cheap.
I bet it’s the most expensive VW ever offered…..if you can get one…..
I personally love it and want one.
Love it. But now I have to got on the 7 years waiting list to get one😢
So excited to see this ID Buzz coming to Canada!!!
Thx for another great review / introduction, and great matching outfit Andrea!! 😉

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the first look video. We both can't wait to drive it!
Zack and Andrea, loved the review as always! Do you think VW will ever introduce an electric Westfalia?
Thank you! They are considering it.
I love it. Big windows lots of space. Retaining it’s retro style. Just waiting to see how much kilometres on a charge will it give.
This is a fantastic looking vehicle, real futuristic looking and I guess space to be in.
Volkswagen did such a great job bridging the old with the new.
@@andreaspencer9813 They sure did Andrea, will be waiting for when you get to drive it too.
Wow, Huntington Beach. That's where I am.
Gorgeous spot!
This is so cute as a camper 😊
very cool … thanks also for the great video
I’ve been waiting for years… issues for me will be estimated distance/ full charge and ultimately cost.
Id absolutely drive that.
Nice to see Canada 🇨🇦is getting both short and long wheelbase versions
They are all long wheelbase. You can get it without the 3rd row installed.
5 or 7 seats, not short and long

They're certainly doing a fine job of building anticipation for this model. Dare I say it? The advance buzz about this VW.
Love the features and design, but everyone is hanging on those range numbers.
Love all the colors. Why aren't all cars available in fun colors?
Because vast majority of buyers won't actually buy a fun color on a mainstream car.
Style is boxy, but it works. Stayed true to the original Westfalia...
If the VW ID Buzz is a rockin' then don't come a knockin'!
We haven’t had a mini van in 10 years, but this makes me want to get another 😊.
Stylish and Classy… and the VW is nice too!
Finally VW puts out a great hauler
Here in Europe a long version has just been announced with 282Hp and 85 kwh battery. Available in 5, 6 and 7 seats.
* * C'mon Andrea...same color...??? Oh boy ! * *
I will add this beauty one to my stable soon...!
I wonder if the back sits are complete removable. Can you tell us? Thank you

Looks cool. Like it
Good review! I wish it would be available in both sizes (lengths) in Canada!

Nice truck 💯💯
Nice review.Very informative also.
It’s a bit too fancy for a minivan. I’m already scared about pricing 😅
62000 gbp for the fully loaded version so it will be at least $90000 CAD
@@DR9800 VW prices things really well in Canada actually. There's hardly any spread between USA and CAD pricing for example.
I WANT ONE
For 20+ years VW has been trying to resurrect the bus, I can't believe it's finally here. It doesn't look that different from the 2001 concept either
