10 Of The Best Years For The Volkswagen Jetta (And Some To Avoid)

  • Volkswagen is exploring the development of a compact, budget-friendly electric minivan positioned below the ID.Buzz to succeed the Touran, which has achieved global sales exceeding 2.6 million units.
  • This interest follows renewed recognition of demand for family-focused MPVs despite SUVs growing more popular, and Volkswagen has revived several MPV concepts for design inspiration.
  • The electric minivan would likely feature sliding rear doors and be designed for practical daily use, aiming to rival emerging Chinese brands with new seats and door technology.
  • Currently, the ID.Buzz starts at around $59,995 in the US and €38,290 is a recent price point for Kia’s five-seater electric van with a 51.5 kWh or 71.2 kWh battery offering up to 400 km range.
  • Volkswagen has yet to decide on production timing or platform, and the minivan's launch may still depend on future battery and platform developments with no firm release date confirmed.
