VW ID. Buzz Scoring Top Marks in Safety

And Where to Find a Volkswagen Electric Vehicle Near You in Houston

On the heels of the success of the Volkswagen ID.4, the automaker has piqued the interest of reviewers and drivers alike for their upcoming sophomore effort. Considering that the VW ID.4 was the winner of the 2021 World Car of the Year Award and was named one of Wards 10 Best User Experiences, the bar is set rather high for the next Volkswagen electric vehicle.

There are actually a few VW electric vehicles in the pipeline, but the one that is closest to a domestic release is an electrified update of the classic Microbus – the VW ID. Buzz. It’s a futuristic spin on the family van, and it’s already making an impression as one of the highest-scoring vehicles in the safety category.

Once we break down the latest news about the VW ID. Buzz, we’ll cover the best way to find a VW electric vehicle near you and how to arrange a test drive.

The VW ID. Buzz – A Top-Ranked Safety Pick

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), there were over 35,000 crashes in 2020 that resulted in fatalities. This type of data lets automakers know that drivers need advanced safety features and vehicles that are more resilient to crashes to mitigate loss of life and better protect drivers.

The designers and engineers at VW are clearly taking the safety issue to heart since the VW ID. Buzz has one of the most comprehensive safety feature packages yet. In addition to having top-of-the-line accident-avoidance technology, the VW ID. Buzz received high ratings in the areas of occupant protection and collision testing from the European New Car Assessment Programme.

Some of the top accident-avoidance and smart safety features on the VW ID. Buzz include:

• Forward collision warning
• Autonomous emergency braking
• Active blind spot monitor
• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane assist
• Travel assist
• Front assist
• Emergency assist

The feature package, collision response, and overall construction of the VW ID. Buzz earned it a five-star rating from Euro NCAP. The new VW will be one of the safest vehicles to ever roll off the Volkswagen factory line.

Finding a Volkswagen ID. Buzz for Sale Near You

For those that have a large family dynamic and are finally ready to switch over to electric, the VW ID. Buzz is primed to revolutionize the van market in a big way. However, you won’t be able to find a VW ID. Buzz near you for about another year.

As it stands, the plan is that Volkswagen will officially unveil the vehicle in 2023 with pre-order sales to start in 2024. Once the VW ID. Buzz is unveiled, we’ll know a lot more about its key performance specs, feature package, trim levels, and pricing. Until then, the VW ID.4 will remain the resident Volkswagen electric car on our showroom floor.
