ID. Buzz 7-Seat named ‘Best 7-Seater Electric Vehicle’ at What Car? Electric Car of the Year Awards 2025
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ all-electric ID. Buzz 7-Seat has been crowned ‘Best 7-Seater Electric Vehicle’ at the What Car? Electric Car of the Year Awards 2025.
The prestigious awards are a celebration of the leading electric vehicles across a range of categories, with an experienced panel of writers and editors judging on performance and practicality, among other criteria.
The 7-seater electric vehicle category focuses, in particular, on value and practicality for families and groups.
At close to five metres long, the ID. Buzz 7-Seat was praised for its spaciousness and practicality. Thanks to the longer wheelbase, it benefits from a total of 2,469 litres of storage capacity, providing plenty of room for up to seven people as well as ample space for luggage or bikes, and a six-seat configuration also available for further flexibility.
Despite the added length, the ID. Buzz 7-Seat’s car-like maneuvrability offers a comfortable ride for any family adventure, with a large 86kWh battery that delivers an all-electric range of up to 487km. And this excellent performance doesn’t come with a sacrifice on style. The retro-inspired design continues a long tradition of Volkswagen supporting a sense of adventure.
Commenting on the award, Steve Huntingford, What Car? Editor, said: “Usually you have to choose between style and substance, but the ID. Buzz delivers both in spades. Yes, it's achingly desirable, thanks to its retro design, but its beauty is far more than skin deep. It's one of the most spacious and practical cars on sale – one with loads of room in each of its seven seats. Plus, it's a very comfortable car and the driving position is superb.”
Eve Tyers, Head of Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, added: “We’re delighted that our ID. Buzz 7-Seat continues to be recognised for its practicality and versatility as an exciting family vehicle. We’ve been really pleased with the response since its launch, and are delighted to continue the year in this vein.”
