The ID. Buzz runs purely on electricity. Who needs gas when you have all this to offer? With three rows and seating configurations for six or seven, it’s roomy enough to accommodate an entire family, along with some friends. Curious about the design? It’s a head-turner with its striking two-tone paint job. You won’t miss it in a crowded parking lot.

Reston, VA — Volkswagen of America, Inc. is pleased to announce that the all-new ID. Buzz has been named to TIME’s 2024 list of the Best Inventions, which features 200 extraordinary innovations changing our lives.
To compile this year’s list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields—such as health care, AI, and green energy. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.
