The VW Bulli – or Microbus as it’s known by beloved fans in the U.S. – offers a tremendous mix of fun and practicality found in VW vans all the way back to the original Bulli created more than 60 years ago.
With this latest concept model, Volkswagen is finishing the 3rd incarnation of what began ten years ago with the Bulli concept of 2001. This one looks like it is a keeper! This latest eye-catcher seats six on the bench seats that fold down into a large reclining surface. The new and improved vehicle is powered by an electric motor and features an infotainment control via iPad.
The Bulli accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 11.5 seconds, and its top speed is 87 mph (electronically limited). Its range and driving performance not only make the compact vehicle ideal for short distances; but also perfect for longer commutes and recreational activities – with an added bonus of zero emissions.
