Volkswagen Beetle is one of the best selling cars in history. The first generation sold over 21.5 million copies. The second generation found about a million buyers, and in 2011 sales of the third Beetle began on the American market. The model reached Europe later.
According to the developers, the new Volkswagen Beetle was created from scratch. Indeed, he borrowed practically nothing from his predecessor. Nevertheless, the Beetle was designed on the platform of one of the previous generations of the Volkswagen Golf and is technically the closest to the C-class sedan. Volkswagen Jetta. Moreover, they are produced with the Jetta at the same plant in Mexico.
One of the main tasks that faced the designers of the third Beetle was to create a car that would equally suit both female and male audiences. Not without reason in the new "Beetle" you can see the motives inherent in the Porsche model. The hood has become longer, and the height of the car, in turn, has decreased slightly.
The model comes to our market in three trim levels - Basis, Design and Sport. In the first and last versions, the interior is dominated by black trim. In "Sport", among other things, there are decorative inserts for carbon. The most original option is Design. In addition to the standard chrome trim on the bumpers and side skirts, in this configuration, you can order the trim of the front panel, inserts on the steering wheel and doors in body color.
The range of engines for the Ukrainian market consists of petrol turbocharged engines of 1.2 (105 hp, 175 Nm), 1.4 (160 hp, 240 Nm) and 2 liters (200 hp, 280 Nm ).
The 105-horsepower unit relies only on the “mechanics” for six speeds. The 160-horsepower engine is available exclusively with a seven-speed DSG robot with two wet clutches. And for the most powerful 2-liter engine, which is offered only in the Sport package, both a manual transmission and a six-speed “robot” with dry clutches are available.
According to the results of Euro NCAP crash tests, the safety of the car was rated with a maximum of five stars.
The list of music systems for the Volkswagen Beetle includes Fender Premium Audio, developed jointly with Panasonic and including 8 speakers, a subwoofer in the trunk and a ten-channel amplifier. By the way, many competitors can envy the cargo compartment. In its normal state, the boot volume of the Beetle is 310 liters, and with the rear seats folded down, it grows to 905 liters. At MINI Cooper, for example, the volume of the trunk is only 160 liters.
