6 Things You NEED to Know About the 2025 VW ID.Buzz Before You Buy

If you're cross shopping the 2025 VW ID.Buzz against a Tesla Model Y or Kia EV9 expecting similar driving dynamics, stop. The buzz (pun intended) is real, but so is the physics of moving 6,200 pounds of retro styling. In this episode of The Driver's Cut, we separate marketing claims from ownership reality. We cover the actual highway range vs. EPA ratings, the "camping mode" workaround you shouldn't have to do, and why Canadian pricing makes way more sense than the US MSRP.
