We Packed Six Dogs Into a 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz and Everybody Loved It

In a week of test driving the 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz, I got showered in smiles, thumbs-ups, and compliments on my good taste (that I didn’t deserve, but took anyway). People just love to see a Volkswagen bus coming. But what really made onlookers lose their minds was opening the small hatch-sized rear window and letting my dog poke her snout out into the air. I’d never seen so many IRL heart-eyes expressions. Bramble the merle mutt was just as happy for the attention, too.

We’ve covered VW’s new electric hippiemobile quite a few different ways, and I’d encourage you to check out our first drive write-up for driving impressions and an upcoming full-length review for even more detail. I’ll also have a cargo-carrying analysis for you to look at soon. Here, we’re going to discuss the bus’s dog-hauling merits.

Since the ID Buzz can seat seven people (this test car had the second row bench instead of captain’s chairs) I thought it’d be cute and funny to try and load one human and six canines into the bus at once. Guess what—it was!

For this little shakedown and backyard canine campout, Bramble was joined by two of her brothers, her mom, and an “aunt” and “cousin” who aren’t actually blood-related. You can probably tell which of the animals she shares DNA with.
