Volkswagen Japan unveils limited‑edition ID. Buzz 1st Anniversary model

Volkswagen Group Japan announced the release of a special‑edition ID. Buzz electric minivan to mark its first anniversary in the Japanese market. Only 70 units will be produced, split between the Pro and Pro Long Wheelbase grades. Both variants feature a unique two‑tone paint scheme—candy white combined with medium‑blue metallic—evoking the classic Volkswagen bus design. Prices start at ¥9,797,000 for the Pro version and ¥10,528,000 for the Pro Long Wheelbase version, with additional equipment such as 20‑inch aluminium wheels on the Pro and a bright‑coloured micro‑fleece seat on the longer model.

To promote the launch, Volkswagen Japan partnered with the iconic Japanese character Doraemon for a summer campaign running from August 1 to October 31, 2026. The tie‑up includes a TV commercial featuring Doraemon alongside the ID. Buzz, a dedicated website, and dealer‑wide special fairs offering families and fans a branded experience.
