This gives the ID. Buzz a unique advantage in the electric van market by combining EV practicality with camper-style versatility.
Built on the Pro S 4Motion platform, the Tourer also adds premium features including:
- Retractable tow hitch
- Captain’s Chairs
- Electrochromic smart roof
- Area View camera system
- 20-inch dark graphite wheels with black discs
These upgrades position the Tourer as one of the most lifestyle-focused electric vehicles in Volkswagen’s lineup.
