The Volkswagen New Beetle and New Beetle convertible faithfully carry on the legacy that started with the original Type 1 more than 70 years ago. Both the sedan and convertible models contain the latest German engineering and refinement, and are finished with a fully modern Volkswagen design that still delivers that recognizable Beetle look and appeal.

The latest versions of the New Beetle are available in a single trim level, and start at $18,540 for the sedan model, and $26,170 for the convertible.

The New Beetle and New Beetle convertible are powered by a 2.5- liter inline five-cylinder gasoline engine that is chock full of German-tuned advancements. The 2.5L produces 150 horsepower available at 5,000 rpm, and 170 lbs.-ft. of torque come on strong yet smooth at 3,750 rpm. The engine features an aluminum alloy cross flow head, four valves per cylinder, double overhead camshafts, and maintenance-free hydraulic lifters to ensure consistent yet undoubtedly efficient performance whenever called upon.

Power is delivered to the front wheels with either an easy-to-shift five-speed manual transmission with self-adjusting hydraulic clutch, or an optional six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® that can change gears on its own, or allow the driver to select each gear using the gear selector. The New Beetle convertible is only available with the six-speed automatic gearbox, and achieves an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in city conditions, and 29 mpg on the highway. The New Beetle equipped with the automatic transmission also reaches the same results. With the manual transmission in place, the New Beetle is capable of 20 mpg in the city, and 28 mpg on the highway.
