The New Volkswagen Electric Bus is Coming Soon!

Now, for the good news. Volkswagen has finally confirmed that the classic Volkswagen Microbus will be returning in 2022! The most significant change is that this new model will be an all-electric vehicle. Although it’s still in the “I.D. Buzz” concept stages, we’re happy to share what we know so far:

• The new Microbus will use dual electric motors to generate 369 horsepower, and it is expected to offer all-wheel drive.
• Two batteries are expected. The first will hold up to 48 kWh, and offer a predicted driving range of 200 miles. The second 110 kWh battery option is expected to provide an even more impressive 340-mile range.
• The Microbus will receive the VW fast-charge system, so it should be able to charge up to 80 percent of its battery in just 30 minutes.
• According to the concept, each and every one of the new VW Microbus seats can be spun around or removed from the cabin. (Yes, even the front seats).
• It’s still too early to tell, but according to Car and Driver, some have ventured to guess that the new VW Bus will offer autonomous driving technology. You’ve never seen a road trip vehicle like this before.

The exterior styling of the 2022 VW Microbus will be based on the well-loved and iconic looks of the original Type 2 model. Although there are certainly some major changes under the hood and inside the cabin, it undoubtedly stays true to the original model’s spirit.
