VW's Iconic Hippie Van Gets a Hipster Makeover

Description

If you're a baby boomer, chances are that you remember those far out times when love and peace were the words on everyone's tonge and the Volkswagen hippie van was the vehicle of choice. Well those days of nostalgia no longer have to be relegated to the distant past - Volkswagen has remade the iconic Type 2 Bus and shown it off at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Monday . It's called BUZZ ID, and it's the first driverless all-electric micro bus that features front and rear wheel drive. ID BUZZ can travel up to 372 miles on a single charge. When the van is running in self-driving mode, the front seats turn around and the steering wheel retracts, creating an interior space for up to eight people. ID BUZZ is expected to hit the market in 2020.

  • Volkswagen ID. CODE concept Design Preview

    With the world premiere of the ID. CODE at Auto China 2024 in Beijing, Volkswagen is providing a first glimpse of a completely new SUV generation, a new design language for China and a new technology generation.

CODE, Volkswagen is interpreting SUV design in a completely new way and enriching it with fascinatingly superior dynamics in the age of electric mobility. With its powerful, clear and fluid surfaces, the ID. CODE comes across more like a Gran Turismo than a five-metre class SUV.

  • The all-new Volkswagen Passat Interior Design Reef Blue Metallic

    A class of its own. The Volkswagen Passat is a global bestseller. To date, more than 34 million units have been delivered to almost every country in the world. An ongoing success – even five decades after its debut, the Passat is currently one of the three best-selling Volkswagens internationally alongside the Tiguan and Polo (with their derivatives). In Europe, it has always been a steady long-term seller, especially as the Variant. Since 2022, Volkswagen has therefore exclusively offered the Passat as an estate version between the North Cape and Gibraltar. And with resounding success. In Germany, for example, the Passat Variant was topped the rankings in the mid-sized class in 2023, with 45,494 new registrations. The secret to its success is the fact that the Passat Variant is two cars in one – a business class vehicle and a family all-rounder at the same time. Now, a brand-new Passat Variant is being launched that has been developed from scratch. And this time, it is breaking down class boundaries. Even though the Passat Variant – now in its ninth generation – is priced (from 39,995 euros) in the mid-sized class, its new size, new quality standard and new innovative power mean it can cater to the next segment up.
