What Is the World Car Design of the Year Award?

Since its inauguration in 2003, the World Car Awards have become a major part of the new car lifecycle. With specialized awards for performance cars, EVs, and luxury vehicles, these prizes are for the most exciting models on the market. The World Car Design of the Year Award is especially prestigious, and with its bold new style, the 2025 VW ID.Buzz took home the trophy this year.

Fresh New Design

The 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz has been turning heads from coast to coast, featuring a fresh new design that references VW’s iconic past. This electric bus is the perfect way to hit the road on your summer road trips and add a classic mid-century feel. And with up to 234 miles of range on a single charge, you can explore without ever hitting a gas pump.

Classic VW History

This electric bus is inspired by the beloved 1950 Volkswagen Type 2 bus. Instantly recognizable from its silhouette and split front windshield, giving it the nickname the “Splitscreen” or the “Splittie” among fans, this bus captures the spirit of the 1960s in a way few other vehicles do. And with an efficient electric motor under the hood, you can explore in this retro van without leaving emissions behind.

Another Win for VW

If you’ve been following the World Car Awards, you may not be surprised to see Volkswagen show up on the podium yet again. Volkswagen has been winning World Car Awards as far back as 2009, when the 2009 Volkswagen Golf took home the gold. The 2025 VW ID.Buzz isn’t the first Volkswagen car to win the design award, either. That honor goes to the 2010 Volkswagen BlueMotion.
