During the 2026 Paris Motor Show, Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Group, stated in a media interview that the replacement plan for the ID.BUZZ is underway, with the new vehicle set to be produced on Volkswagen's latest SSP platform and efforts are being made to bring the price down compared to the current model. The exact release date for the new vehicle has not yet been announced by the official, but based on previous reports, Volkswagen's first flagship SUV based on the SSP platform (or named ID. Touareg) is expected to be released in 2029. Therefore, it is estimated that the new generation of ID.BUZZ will likely not arrive until around 2030. Volkswagen's design director, Andreas Mindt, stated that the new generation of ID.BUZZ will have a significant change in its appearance. While the current model retains its classic nostalgic and character appeal, he plans to make it more stable, likable, and introduce a secret sauce, which will make the new product very interesting. It will be able to meet the brand's past, present, and future needs. Regarding the new vehicle, it is expected to be produced on the SSP platform, which will also improve its intelligence, range, and charging speed. The new vehicle is also expected to be equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries to further reduce costs. For more information about the new vehicle, we will continue to cover and report.
