The award-winning Volkswagen ID. Buzz has excited critics and drivers alike with its retro design.
A company has turned the electric van into a state-of-the-art RV, with a range of 200 miles.
Check out the converted Buzz, with a pull-out bed, kitchenette, and solar-powered charging port.
The ID. Buzz is Volkswagen's attempt to revive the legendary Kombi van for the electric age.
It echoes the design of the vehicle that first hit the road in the 1950s and does on sale in the US in 2024.
The Buzz is already available in Europe and the UK, where it's been a hit with motoring critics. The ID. Buzz won the prestigious WhatCar? Car of the Year Award earlier this year, and was praised for its funky retro design alongside state-of-the-art engineering.
Now, an after-market company has decided to convert one into a fully equipped electric RV. Take a look inside.
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz Life model costs about £59,000 ($74,000), while the Style is £63,700 ($80,000.)

Love Campers has turned a couple of the new VWs into luxury RVs for adventure company Wild Drives.

The company has previously converted other Volkswagen vans, and even an old Mercedes ambulance.

The ID. Buzz I took for a spin can be rented from Wild Drives for about $465 for two nights.

The interior has a bamboo ceiling and kitchen area, and barley-colored lining, in keeping with its sustainable ethos.

There's a couple of drawers for storing crockery and other kitchen items.

The van has a tiny fridge drawer that could keep a few beers or a bottle or two of wine chilled.

The couch has pull-out pallets that turn into a bed, which at a squeeze could fit a couple.

When I used the ID Buzz to camp, I found the kitchen unit to be a bit too big for the available space, making the bed and sitting area smaller than I'd have liked.

There's also a sink, and a hob powered by a solar panel on the roof. It also let me charge my cell phone.

Love Campers charges about £17,500 ($22,000) to convert an ID. Buzz.

That's on top of the purchase price, meaning the total cost would be a rather pricey $100,000 or so.
