Some cars leave a paper trail; the Volkswagen BUDD-e left a name and a place in Volkswagen's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
The story
The Volkswagen BUDD-e is an electric concept car made by German car manufacturer Volkswagen. The BUDD-e has been often compared to the Volkswagen Microbus.
The BUDD-e was first shown at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show; Volkswagen stated that it would be released around 2020, though this appears to have been put back to 2023. The BUDD-e was intended to feature touch, voice, and gesture control, as well as digital displays called E-Mirrors instead of the usual side mirrors.
Its place in the line
In the Volkswagen line-up the Volkswagen BUDD-e has a clear place: it replaced the Volkswagen Bulli; it handed the line to the Volkswagen I.D. Buzz. Nearby in the Volkswagen catalogue sit the Volkswagen Apollo and the Volkswagen Routan.
