Drivers Are Most Excited About Volkswagen’s Minivan Rebrand: Meet the 2025 ID. Buzz

Nov 17, 2025

The “family van” just got a full-blown reinvention, and family drivers are here for it. The all-electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz has officially been named the Top Minivan in the 2025 J.D. Power APEAL Study, proving that this isn’t your parents’ minivan. It’s something entirely new: a joyful blend of nostalgic design, cutting-edge technology, and all-electric performance that’s capturing hearts and headlines alike.

The APEAL Study (Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout) measures how excited drivers feel about their new vehicles, and the ID. Buzz didn’t just perform well, it outperformed the segment average by a wide margin. With an APEAL Index score of 882, it earned praise for its smooth, powerful electric powertrain, user-friendly interior, and instantly recognizable retro styling. While many new models underperformed across the auto industry this year, the ID. Buzz bucked the trend, reminding everyone that driving can still feel exciting, expressive, and fun.

A Rebrand That Reignites the Spirit of Driving

Volkswagen’s CEO Kjell Gruner summed it up best: “The ID. Buzz connects the legacy of the Volkswagen brand with the innovation of electric mobility.” It’s a perfect description of why drivers are so drawn to this all-electric minivan, it’s equal parts familiar and futuristic. Inspired by the classic VW Microbus, the ID. Buzz brings back that free-spirited energy, now powered by clean electric technology and packed with modern comfort features.

It’s no surprise that drivers are most excited about the minivan rebrand, because the ID. Buzz doesn’t feel like a compromise between practicality and personality. With a spacious, configurable interior, three distinct color themes (Moonlight, Dune, and Copper), and features like a 30-color ambient lighting system, 12.9-inch infotainment display, and IQ.DRIVE driver-assistance suite, it makes every drive feel like a mood-lifting experience. Families, commuters, and EV enthusiasts alike are seeing what Volkswagen fans have always known: driving should be joyful.

A Win That Reflects Volkswagen’s Momentum

The ID. Buzz’s recognition helped Volkswagen achieve its best APEAL score since 2020, ranking sixth among mass-market brands. Improvements in fuel economy and infotainment satisfaction show how Volkswagen continues to evolve, delivering vehicles that connect emotionally as much as they impress technically. The Jetta also played a part in that success, improving its score and representing about 20 percent of Volkswagen’s U.S. sales.
