The Car and Driver 10Best is like the automotive Oscars, where only the most exceptional vehicles earn a coveted spot on the red carpet. The list is an annual showcase of the magazine's top 10 vehicles for the upcoming year.
Each year, the editors of Car and Driver embark on an epic two-week driving marathon, rigorously testing nearly 100 vehicles to crown the crème de la crème. With a keen eye for performance, value, and the sheer joy of driving, they sift through the good, the great, and the groundbreaking.
For 2025, the highly-anticipated spiritual successor to the iconic microbus, the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz, made the cut. "The ID. Buzz makes good on its hefty promises, fusing nostalgia and futurism in an imminently useful package," highlights Car & Driver. Combining timeless charm with cutting-edge innovation, the ID. Buzz emerges as a versatile electric vehicle built to captivate attention wherever it goes.
The ID. Buzz brings fun and flexibility in three trims—Pro S, Pro S Plus, and a launch-only 1st Edition. You can pick between zippy rear-wheel drive with 282 horsepower and a solid 234-mile range or go big with 4Motion® all-wheel drive, packing 335 horsepower and a 231-mile range. The ID. Buzz 4Motion® all-wheel drive will get you from 0 to 60 in an impressive 6 seconds.
With three roomy rows for up to seven passengers and plenty of cargo space, the ID. Buzz is where practicality meets electric power with a dash of style. The ID. Buzz offers smart versatility with a removable third row, creating up to 145.5 cubic feet of cargo space when the second row is folded. With over 160 cubic feet of passenger room, everyone rides comfortably. Elevated seats for the driver and front passenger provide a commanding view, while the minimal front overhang and expansive windshield deliver a panoramic, widescreen experience.
