Volkswagen has toyed around with the idea of bringing back the emblematic Bus for the past 16 years. Four concept cars later, the company has finally confirmed plans to launch a retro-inspired van in 2022. The yet-unnamed model will take inspiration from the I.D. Buzz design study introduced earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show..................
The I.D. Buzz will ride on the modular MEB platform Volkswagen is currently developing to underpin an array of electric vehicles, including an oh-so-popular crossover and a hatchback that will replace the e-Golf. The MEB underpinnings means the van will be electric-only; Volkswagen won’t offer gasoline- or diesel-powered variants of it. A single rear-mounted electric motor and rear-wheel drive will come standard, while optional all-wheel drive will be available by installing a second electric motor over the front axle.
