2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz 4MOTION, Ridgeline electric pop-top camper

Our first electric camper, and the one that stopped traffic on Haywood Road all summer. Ridgeline took a 2025 ID. Buzz Pro S Plus 4MOTION in Bay Leaf Green over Candy White and gave it a lightweight pop-top with a two-person bunk, a slide-out ash galley with an induction hob and wool-felt wall panels, and a rear bench that folds into a single bed, so it still seats five for the school run and sleeps three on the weekend.

The camper systems are fully isolated from the traction battery: a 200Ah lithium house bank, 180W of flexible roof solar, and a Truma VarioHeat propane furnace keep you warm without touching your range. The factory heat pump and app-based preconditioning mean you can wake up to a warm cabin at a trailhead. Fresh water is a 12-gallon tank with a folding sink.

3,100 miles, balance of VW’s 4-year/50,000-mile vehicle warranty and 8-year battery warranty. 234 miles of EPA range and 200kW DC fast charging make Asheville to the Outer Banks a one-stop drive. Test drives at our West Asheville shop.
