Forget the old Kombi we once knew. The ID.Buzz is built on the advanced MEB platform, positioning itself between a minivan and an SUV.

The finish is made of 100% recyclable plastic, and the seats are covered with fabric recycled from the oceans. The technology is not lagging behind, featuring a fully digital instrument panel and a 12-inch multimedia center. The interior space? Spacious and comfortable, a true living room on wheels, with an unbeatable trunk in its segment.
