The most expensive VW being marketed in the US in 2025
I saw that headline and spit out my coffee. Expensive, and probably too late to the camper van hype. Used sprinters are so cheap now.
I haven't followed them actively. Just a quick search yielding several in the 20K range. Much of it depends on what you intend to do with it.I haven't been tracking used sprinters, but am surprised to hear they are 'so cheap now'. A friend of mine had one with an Airstream fit-out, and other than what looked to be a crazy-tight shower, it seemed to be pretty well suited for a couple of empty nesters. Do you know enough about them to respond to that?
With that range and the state of EA charging infrastructure, the BUZZ will be limited to around town use with home charging. I don't know why VW thought that this was competitive. They are relying on the nostalgic looks only. Families would be better getting a Kia EV9.Only 230ish miles of range. When I load my family of 4 with all our stuff for a road trip in winter, range will only be about 140 miles at best. Hard pass.
I bet you poor handling, crappy software...Not really. Slightly higher than the EV9, slightly lower than the Rivian and much better people mover than either of those. If I were looking for an on-road centric 3-row EV this would be on the short list.
