·        The 2024 Volkswagen I.D.Buzz will make it to the U.S. market during calendar 2023 after a 2022 launch in Europe, according to Carsten Intra, head of the brand's Commercial Vehicles Division.

·        The much-anticipated electric descendant of the Microbus will make up to 300 horsepower, and U.S. buyers can only get it with a long wheelbase.

·        The Buzz will not be available as a work vehicle on the U.S. market but will be outfitted as an upscale people carrier.
