Volkswagen ID. Buzz 7-Seat Crowned ‘Best Van-Based MPV’ at 2025 What Car? Van and Commercial Vehicle Awards

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ ID. Buzz 7-Seat has achieved back-to-back recognition this week, earning the title of ‘Best Van-based MPV’ at the 2025 What Car? Van and Commercial Vehicle Awards. This accolade follows another MPV award earlier in the week, underscoring the model's exceptional performance in its class.

A Winning Formula

This victory marks the third consecutive year a Volkswagen ID. Buzz model has taken home the What Car? MPV award. Launched earlier this year, the 7-Seat variant impressed judges with its:

• Extended Range: Powered by an 86kWh battery, the vehicle delivers an all-electric range of up to 291 miles.
• Spacious Versatility: The longer wheelbase offers ample room for passengers, even taller adults, and a generous, configurable boot space.
• Dynamic Handling: Built on Volkswagen’s MEB platform, the 7-Seat combines stable handling with car-like maneuverability, despite its nearly five-meter length.

Industry Praise

Steve Huntingford, What Car? Editor, lauded the model:
“The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is a former What Car? Car of the Year, but it’s even more versatile in its new long-wheelbase form. There’s space for everyone, regardless of where they sit, and boot capacity rivaling that of a van. Plus, the larger battery ensures a range that will satisfy most buyers.”

Volkswagen’s Response

John Ricardo-Neto, Head of Product Planning for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, celebrated the achievement:
“This week has been a landmark for the ID. Buzz 7-Seat, earning two MPV awards across the car and LCV sectors. Retaining the What Car? ‘Best Van-based MPV’ title for a third year running is a testament to the versatility and practicality of this new addition to our lineup.”
