The retro-styled model will be joined by a Cargo van variant later this year.

Initially the ID Buzz is available with five seats. Six- and seven-seat versions will join the line-up later.

The new ID Buzz launches with three trim levels: Life, Style, and a 1st Edition. The entry-level Life starts at £57,115 and offers LED headlights, heated windscreen, the Buzz box removable storage, Discover Pro navigation and infotainment with 10-inch colour touchscreen, and wireless charging.

Style, priced from £61,915 adds the ‘IQ Light’ LED matrix headlights and adaptive interior ambient lighting and tailgate surround lighting.

The range-topping 1st Edition is priced at £62,995. This specification includes a full range of safety, security and convenience features, including 21-inch ‘Bromberg’ alloy wheels, Discover Max navigation system with 12-inch colour touchscreen and comfort seats with memory function.

All ID Buzz variants feature a digital cockpit and are available with the iconic two-tone paint option. There is also up to eight USB interfaces, including three USB-C ports for rapid charging supplied as standard, ‘Hello ID’ voice control and online functionality via We Connect and We Connect Plus.

The vehicle features a 77kWh lithium-ion battery, supplying power to a rear-mounted electric motor that develops 204PS and 310Nm of torque. The ID Buzz is capable of an all-electric driving range of up to 258 miles.
