VW ID. Buzz spied testing nearly naked

Volkswagen showed us the ID. Buzz last month, but back then, the electric van was wrapped in colorful, impervious camo. Now, spy photographers have made their own contribution – and it looks much better.

The van was spotted running tests in a winter environment. The headlights and the taillights were taped over to conceal their true shapes, and the VW logo was hidden as well, but the rest of the front clip was practically exposed. The sides also looked production ready except for the black trim pieces, which we suspect were fake.

The ID. Buzz comes based on the MEB platform and shares much of its construction with the ID.4 and ID.3. We expect to see single- and dual-motor variants rated up to 203 PS (200 hp / 150 kW). Rumor has it that a performance spec with more than 300 PS (296 hp / 221 kW) is coming up as well, but that one is unconfirmed.
