2025 VW ID. Buzz Wins Prestigious World Car Design of the Year Award

With a design that can best be described as “nostalgia made modern,” it’s no wonder the 2025 ID. Buzz has been officially awarded the World Car Design of the Year—the brand’s sixth World Car Award. 

At the 2025 New York International Auto Show in April, Volkswagen’s reimagined Microbus, the ID. Buzz stood out among three World Car Design category finalists, showcasing its innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and all-electric performance. 

Kjell Gruner, President and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, said, “The ID. Buzz was always intended to be more than just transportation; it’s our brand’s electric soul, a halo that radiates fresh energy and excitement. The ID. Buzz is reconnecting us with our roots while boldly stepping into the electric era, and this award is recognition of that vision.”
