Volkswagen’s ID. Buzz Goes Galactic: Light & Dark Editions Galore!
Imagine cruising down the highway in an electric cruiser that looks straight out of a Star Wars spin‑off—that’s exactly what Volkswagen has achieved with their brand‑new ID. Buzz Light Side Edition and ID. Buzz Dark Side Edition. Both cars were given a cinematic makeover to honor the upcoming Obi‑Wan Kenobi series on Disney+. Let’s dive into how each version captures the classic struggle between good and evil.

- Lower panel color: Muted beige, mirroring the Jedi’s tattered tunic.
- Upper accents: Shiny chrome that pays homage to the sleek gear of Star Wars ships and droids.
With such subtle yet striking paintwork, the Light Edition feels like a quiet guardian on the road—ready to fend off galactic bad vibes.
Dark Side Edition – The Darth Vader of Electric Cars
- Model base: The rugged commercial Buzz Cargo.
- Color palette: Intense black and bold red—an unmistakable nod to the Dark Side.

This edition packs a punch: sleek, mysterious, and absolutely tempting for anyone who loves a little rebellion on wheels.
All of This Thanks to Adhesive Film Wizardry
Volkswagen didn’t spray paint or use complex mold work; instead, they applied specially engineered adhesive films. This technique allowed them to create truly iconic looks without compromising the vehicle’s original structural integrity.
