Volkswagen Beetle receives minor updates in Europe

Volkswagen has actually offered the Euro-spec Beetle and Beetle Cabriolet small updates inside and out.

Base, Design, and R-Line models gain from brand-new bumpers on both ends that provide the retro-chic hatchback a sharper appearance. The R-Line version gets an additional air vent right listed below the hood, while all trim level get brand-new paint colors and a selection of brand-new 17- and 18-inch alloy wheel designs.

Looking at interior, Volkswagen has actually included a brighter instrument cluster that’s much easier to read than in the past, and a new dash pad. Purchasers can select from three extra upholstery products, and they can fix up the cabin by purchasing a painted center console.

Volkswagen hasn’t made any significant mechanical modifications. That means the Beetle continues to offer 3 gasoline-burning engines and two diesel-powered units whose outputs vary between 105 and 220 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is the only setup available, however a lot of engines can be connected to either a manual transmission or a dual-clutch automated gearbox.

The upgraded Volkswagen Beetle is on sale now throughout Europe. The lineup consists of the standard designs, and a handful of limited-edition variants.

More is to be informed in coming weeks.
