Volkswagen says the line-up also features revised colour and wheel options.The newly introduced ID. Buzz Tourer is based on the European ‘Good Night Package’ and has been adapted for the North American market. According to Volkswagen, the variant is ‘geared for overnight camping trips’ and includes a fold-out mattress with platform, window blinds, front window ventilation panels, an exterior table and chairs, and a dedicated Overnight Mode software package that ‘adapts interior and exterior functionality to enable the vehicle to be used for overnight stays.’Built on the Pro S 4Motion version, the Tourer additionally features a retractable tow hitch, Captain’s Chairs, an electrochromic smart roof, Area View and 20-inch dark graphite wheels with black discs. A new optional 21-inch wheel package will also be available on the top trim.Volkswagen has also simplified the colour palette for the ID. Buzz. Only two-tone paint finishes will be offered for MY27, including a new Candy White over Cherry Red scheme with white wheels. The company says the combination ‘evokes an iconic Type 2 Microbus colour combination.’Additionally, the electric van now comes with a North American Charging System (NACS) adapter and one-pedal driving functionality as standard features.All MY27 ID. Buzz variants receive Volkswagen’s latest ID.S 6 infotainment software. It also gains additional connected and driver assistance functions, including myQ Connected Garage, AirConsole gaming integration and What3Words navigation support. They will come with a one-year trial of its In-Vehicle Premium subscription service, which bundles features such as Premium Navigation with real-time traffic, Premium Speech incorporating ChatGPT, Premium Radio with access to more than 30,000 radio stations and over one million podcasts, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability.The German carmaker expects selected MY27 models to begin arriving in US dealer showrooms from August 2026, with further launches continuing into early 2027.The ID. Buzz is not the only model celebrating a comeback. According to the announcement, the ID.4 will also remain available, though the carmaker did not announce a MY2027 variant. At least not yet. “ID.4 models will remain available to customers in the U.S. through current MY26 inventory, which is expected to support customer demand into 2027,” Volkswagen said, adding that “a future version of the ID.4 is currently planned for the North American market and details will be shared at a later date.”In April, the German manufacturer announced that it was phasing out the production of the ID.4 at its Chattanooga plant to focus on the second-generation Atlas, a large SUV with a combustion engine. This was likely the result of the end of the US tax credit, after which sales for the ID.4 had dropped significantly.vw.com
