The Volkswagen ID. Buzz continues to add yet more silverware to the trophy cabinet, taking home the ‘MPV of the Year’ award at the 2025 Professional Driver Car of the Year Awards.
The Professional Driver Car of the Year Awards is one of the biggest reader-judged car awards. Now into their 15th year, more than 60 vehicles are tested across six categories by an invited audience of Professional Driver readers in a one-day event at Epsom Racecourse.
The ID. Buzz, available in five and seven-seat configurations, wowed judges with its combination of distinctive looks, good electric range and a roomy interior.
The award is one of the largest reader-judged in the industry; the judging panel consists of readers of Professional Driver, heads of chauffeur and private hire firms, as well as editors and journalists.
Both the five-seat and seven-seat variants have taken home a number of awards since their introduction.
Commenting on the award, Mark Bursa, Editor at Professional Driver, said: “Maybe operators are getting bored with plain vanilla van-based MPV, and instead are looking for a slightly left-field option. The ID distinctive, retro-styled, all-electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz fits that bill. As well as its great looks, it’s practical and roomy, making it ideal for private hire and taxi use.”
Eve Tyers, Head of Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, adds: “It’s gratifying to win any award, and we’re very pleased the ID. Buzz has been recognised by those who will use this vehicle every day.
“The fact that it continues to be celebrated for its flexibility as a do-anything vehicle three years since its introduction demonstrates what an iconic vehicle this truly is.”
