- Volkswagen is revamping its iconic microbus with the I.D. Buzz.
- The vehicle will be fully electric and hit dealerships in 2022.
- It will feature a customizable interior and tech features that will eventually move the car toward autonomous driving.
Once a symbol of American counterculture during the 1960s and ’70s, Volkswagen’s microbus was discontinued in 2013 due to safety concerns.
But in 2017, Volkswagen revealed a concept for a new, fully-electric microbus and confirmed it would go into production and reach dealerships by 2022.
Here’s what we know about the car so far.
