VW hasn’t given the ID.Buzz the full California treatment yet, but the new Good-Night package introduced in Europe is the nearest thing to it. The electric van picks up a double bed, a V2L function, and an “overnight” mode, all of it aimed at buyers who’d rather spend a night in the van than book a room.

At the heart of the package sits a bed frame with a folding mattress measuring 2 m (78.7 inches) long and 1.2 m (47.2 inches) wide. It mounts above the folded rear seats, and when nobody’s sleeping in it, the whole thing stows away in the trunk.

VW also tossed in a blackout set for the windows to keep prying eyes out. Pair that with the ventilation grilles fitted to the side windows, which keep air moving through the cabin overnight, and the basics of sleeping in a parked van are covered.

There’s no awning in the deal, but the package does include a table and two chairs, so a meal or a drink alongside the van is part of the plan.

The hardware is only half the story. The kit also brings a new “Overnight” mode to the infotainment, which keeps the A/C running for up to 48 hours and holds the cabin at a steady temperature no matter what the weather does outside. Rounding it out is the V2L (vehicle-to-load) function added with the 2026 model year updates, letting the 230-volt outlet push up to 2,000 watts into e-bikes, laptops, coolers, and coffee machines.

And that leads us to pricing. The Good Night package is available for all passenger versions of the ID. Buzz priced from €2,600 ($3,000) in Germany. The factory-backed upgrade can be ordered now.

Lexus has brought the eighth-generation ES sedan to its home market, following the sedan’s earlier debut in the US and Europe. The hybrid and electric powertrains carry over unchanged, but Japanese buyers get access to a wider selection of optional accessories, including subtle bodykits and interior lighting.

The standout from the official catalog is the Lexus Genuine Aero Parts Set. It drops the sedan’s stance and sharpens its aerodynamics, with a splitter, side skirts, and a rear bumper extension finished in glossy black. The kit also pairs with droplet-shaped fins on each D-pillar, which Lexus says steady the vortices along the rear quarters to improve stability and steering response.

For buyers chasing something different, Modellista has its Advanced Luxury Package. It adds body-colored pieces that cut ground clearance along the profile by up to 26 mm (1 inch). The side skirts are illuminated and paired with mirror covers that integrate fins. Rounding it out is a set of 21-inch forged aluminum wheels in dark premium metallic.

While Japan has all of these options for the exterior, US buyers are currently restricted to black emblems, wheel locks, and protective films. Another difference between the two markets is the variety of lighting accessories.

Lighting And Projections

The Japanese-spec ES can be had with Projection Welcome Illumination, which casts a Lexus emblem onto the pavement ahead of the car, joined by side-projection lighting that throws geometric graphics down the flanks.

The catalog also covers illuminated door sills, a cargo sill, and Lexus-branded puddle lamps, all available in the US too. Buyers who want more can add illuminated cup holders and door pockets in a range of colors.

The rest of the interior list runs to headrest pillows, a rear footrest with deodorizing properties, seatback storage pockets with a tablet holder, and premium floor and luggage mats. The lineup also includes the ES350e Rr Comfort package, the equivalent of the US-spec Executive Package, aimed at owners who prefer the back seat. Lexus also doubles down on anti-theft measures with physical locks for the wheels and the steering wheel.

Japanese Pricing

The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe is one of the most widely recognized vehicles on the planet, with an estimated 25 million sold since 1979. The toy car is actually leg powered, but it spent decades pretending to run on gasoline, which, with pump prices now north of $4.50 a gallon, is starting to feel like a uniquely cruel bit of make-believe. Now, Kids who’d rather go green can grab the charging station accessory and do their part for the EV transition.

The Cozy E-Charging Station is designed to bring zero-emission infrastructure to backyards and playrooms, mirroring the real-world shift toward electric cars. The accessory first appeared in late 2022 as part of a UK campaign before graduating to a permanent fixture in the brand’s global lineup, now with a cleaner, more modern look.

The unit functions as an interactive charger, featuring a cable and a plug designed to slot into the fuel ports of all the existing Cozy Coupe models. Pressing the power button activates a sequence of light-up effects and electronic charging sounds, simulating a high-voltage top-up. The charger is powered by batteries making it suitable for outdoor play.

The Cozy E-Charging Station is about the same size with the old Cozy Pumper, measuring 17.50 inches (44.45 cm) tall and weighing about 3 lbs (1.36 kg). It is fitting for toddlers and kids aged from 18 months to 5 years, allowing them to “plug in and charge their car just like mom and dad“.

It retails for $32.99, a small premium over the $29.99 Cozy Pumper. Unlike their parents, however, toddlers do not need to buy a new vehicle to make the switch, since the charger is compatible with the existing fleet. They are also spared range anxiety, because the Flintstones-spec drivetrain of the Cozy Coupe will keep going as long as the driver is well rested and well fed.
