2017MY VW Beetle
The VW Beetle gets a fresh
gallery as it gets closer to its official market launch. VW updated the Beetle
with a pair of redesigned bumpers, new color options and new fabrics and a
revised range that now includes the Denim, Exclusive Design and Exclusive
R-Line models.
Also new is the Blind Spot Monitoring
with Rear Traffic Alert system which warns the driver of any vehicles in the
blind spots or during reversing out of a parking space.
The cabin now features new colors,
materials and technologies, including a painted center console, new dashpad
designs, new seat fabrics and colors, new instrument dials and brighter,
adjustable ambient lighting. The company’s latest infotainment system is
offered as an option and comes with a 6.3-inch touchscreen display, MirrorLink,
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The new VW Beetle will come with five
different engine options: three TSI petrol and two TDI diesel units. The petrol
engine range kicks off with the turbocharged 104 hp 1.2-litre unit and
reaches all the way up to the 217 hp 2.0-litre TSI. Similarly, the
diesel range consists of a 2.0-litre TDI engine offered in 108 hp and
147 hp guises. Every engine can be mated to a dual-clutch DSG gearbox as
an option.
The R-Line model is replacing the Sport
one as the range-topper and offers sports seats, red-painted brake calipers, a
chrome tailpipe, special 17-inch alloy wheels and wider body fenders for a more
dynamic appearance.
