- Volkswagen has delivered the first US-spec ID. Buzz to Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias.
- The comedian is a noted Volkswagen collector and owns an assortment of classic vans.
- While deliveries are just getting underway, it appears most dealers are avoiding markups.
The bus is back as Volkswagen has begun delivering the ID. Buzz in the United States. This has been years in the making and the first model was handed over to comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias by Volkswagen Group of America President and CEO Pablo Di Si.
The handover took place in California following a tour of Iglesias’ garage, which is full of Volkswagen vehicles and memorabilia. Iglesias has shown his collection a few times and he’s dubbed it the ‘Fluffy Volkswagen Museum’ as it includes a dizzying array of classic vans.

That makes it fitting the comedian took delivery of the first ID. Buzz in America. As a refresher, the model starts at $59,995 and features a 91 kWh battery pack that provides 234 miles (377 km) of range. Buyers will also find a rear-mounted motor producing 282 hp (210 kW / 286 PS) and 413 lb-ft (559 Nm) of torque.
Customers can also get a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with 335 hp (250 kW / 340 PS). It drops the range to 231 miles (372 km), while boosting the price to $67,995.
In other ID. Buzz news, dealers appear to be holding the line on pricing as we haven’t seen obvious markups in the past few weeks. That could change as more dealers receive their vans, but it’s an encouraging development and one trend that Volkswagen undoubtedly wants to continue.
However, the reality on the ground might be slightly different as we found a 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz 1st Edition 4Motion listed on a third-party website for $77,385. That would be a $5,000 markup, but the dealer’s own website lists it at $72,385. This could be a fluke, but it pays to shop around, especially if your dealer is trying to add a markup.
