New Beetle

From the old to the New Beetle

Everybody remembers the very first Volkswagen car of all: the Beetle. With its unique shape and reliability, it wrote motoring history. In 1993, Volkswagen succeeded in picking up where it had left off and put a smiling new face on the icon in the guise of the New Beetle.

A roof over your head, or maybe not

Open or closed? With a roof over your head? Or maybe not? The latest generation of the New Beetle is equally impressive as a saloon and as a cabriolet. The appealing looks, the captivating shapes and the powerful curves make both versions of the New Beetle irresistible. Whichever you choose, you are guaranteed exceptional driving pleasure.

An all-round one-off

The New Beetle is a vehicle with character and extraordinary styling. Its harmonious curves give it its looks, from the arched roof, the windscreen drawn forward over the bonnet and wings, to the rear end drawn down low to the road. Its long wheelbase and wide track indicate strength. Classic details like the assist straps in the interior evoke memories of the old Beetle, completing the bridge between the past and the future of car design.
