Volkswagen ID. Buzz figure sur la liste des meilleures inventions de 2024 établie par TIME

Volkswagen of America, Inc. is pleased to announce that the all-new ID. Buzz has been named to TIME’s 2024 list of the Best Inventions, which features 200 extraordinary innovations changing our lives.

To compile this year’s list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields—such as health care, AI, and green energy. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.

Of the new list, TIME’s editors write: “The result is a list of 200 groundbreaking inventions (and 50 special mention inventions)—including the world’s largest computer chip, a humanoid robot joining the workforce, and a bioluminescent houseplant—that are changing how we live, work, play, and think about what’s possible.”

“We are thrilled to bring the iconic Microbus, reimagined for the electric future, back into American driveways,” said Andrew Savvas, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Volkswagen Brand North American Region. “The ID. Buzz is about so much more than getting from point A to point B. With its combination of retro looks and modern technology, it creates more smiles per mile on every journey.”

The ID. Buzz debuts for 2025 model year and is available in three trims, either rear-wheel-drive or 4Motion® all-wheel-drive configurations, and three rows of seats to accommodate up to seven passengers, with copious amounts of room for people and cargo. All models feature a 91-kWh battery; rear-wheel-drive models have 282 horsepower and 234 miles of EPA-estimated range, while 4Motion® models have 335 horsepower and 231 miles of EPA-estimated range. Pricing starts at $59,995 MSRP.
