ID. Buzz as camper van available in the U.S.

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz was introduced to the U.S. market last year, and there is already a proposition for a camper conversion. At the same time, VW itself is hesitating to launch an ID. Buzz California camper version in Europe for fear of lack of demand.

On the contrary, an American converter, Peace Vans, already has three conversion levels on offer. Peace Vans claims to have spent six months working with Volkswagen on a range of equipment to turn the ID. Buzz into a camping van.

Customers now have a choice of three solutions: the electric minibus with kitchen (‘Buzz.Box’, priced $7,995), with kitchen and bed (‘Buzz.Box.Sleeper’, priced $10,995) or with complete equipment (‘Buzz.Camper’, price to be defined) including interior cupboards, table, etc.

While the first two versions ‘only’ require the third row of seats to be removed, the fully equipped version also requires removing the second bench seat.

From November 2024

Peace Vans states that it will offer camper versions of the ID. Buzz from November 2024 via selected dealers, direct shipping or on-site installation. Harley Sitner, owner of Peace Vans, says: “We’ve been waiting for the ID. Buzz for some time. We were fortunate enough to experience some early pre-production units, loved what we saw, and decided to build entirely new solutions crafted exclusively for the ID. Buzz.”

The new range created by the US conversion company is directly linked to the comeback of the VW Bus in the USA and Canada. Volkswagen celebrated its return there with an extended ID. Buzz last year.

Compared to the normal-length ID. Buzz available in Europe, the extended version’s wheelbase has been stretched by 25 centimeters to 3.25 meters, making the vehicle 4.96 meters long instead of 4.71 meters. It also has a third row of seats.

In contrast to North America, both the short and long versions are available in Europe. VW Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) also just extended its ID. Buzz portfolio.
