Iconic German car maker Volkswagen will launch five new models of electric cars into Australia by the end of next year to capitalise on EV mania.
The famous manufacturer announced five of its ID electric vehicle range will land here by the end of 2024 including the ID.Buzz, its homage to the classic Kombi.
The ID.Buzz will come in two makes, the ID.BUzz People-Mover and the ID.Buzz Cargo.
With a long chassis and blunt bonnet, the model harkens back to the original VW Kombi which was popular as a touring van during the 1960s and '70s, becoming synonymous with surfer and hippie culture.
Alongside the two ID.Buzz models, the ID.3 sedan - which has been sold across Europe since 2019 - and the new ID.4 and ID.5 SUVs will hit Australian roads around the same time.

The Kombi's electric successor features a range of around 500km with a charge from five to 80 per cent taking around 30 minutes when connected to a DC-fast charger.
It also comes with a digital dashboard and an emphasis on comfortable and configurable seating,
