"The Volkswagen Beetle has a strong momentum, quality and value for money to build in a modern package."

Volkswagen Beetle hatchback

In the last decade or so, there have a handful of fashionable retro cars have been on the market which have seen great success - namely the MINI and the Fiat 500. Then there is the VW beetle. In around 70 years VW has sold more than 22 million Beetles around the world, and the latest version is clearly related to the original in connection with round headlights and this iconic form

The beetle takes an interesting niche -. It's retro-image will appeal to those in the MINI and looking 500, but it is closer in size to a golf, and it costs about the same VW popular family hatch well.

continued the retro-theme within the Beetle, with a body-colored trim pieces over the width of the dashboard and along the tops of the doors. There is also storage space in front of the front passengers, is reminiscent of the original.

has the vase of the previous generation, though gone, while everything else is taken in from elsewhere in the VW range, so it's all screwed together firmly and it is known also. It is a touchscreen infotainment system and air conditioning controls intuitive, and there is plenty of space in the front. Backcourt is a little tighter because of the steeply sloping roofline, but there is plenty of room for smaller passengers.

The engine range of other Volkswagen cars, as is well taken. There is a 104bhp 1.2-liter TSI, a 148bhp 1.4-liter TSI and a 2.0-liter TSI with 217bhp petrol fans, while those who prefer diesel power of two 2.0-liter TDI units either can choose with 108bhp or 148bhp.

In terms of orders, there is the standard Beetle, Design and Sport over to Turbo Black and Turbo Silver spending move.

There are now a Beetle Dune model also. It has some sturdy plastic cladding on the outside, unique Sandstorm Yellow and Dark Bronze paint colors and a slightly higher ride height compared to the rest of the region.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

3.4 / 5

thrifty 2.0-liter BlueMotion diesel will do more than 65mpg

If you want to save as much money as possible after the exhibition space on a beetle squirts out, make sure it has the 108bhp 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine under the hood. should return the BlueMotion engine to 66mpg and has CO2 emissions of 112g / km, which means road tax of just £ 30 per year.

At the other end of the scale is the 2.0-liter TSI with 217bhp. Available in Sport, Turbo Black and Turbo Silver trims, it should just shy of returning 40mpg and 176g / km of CO2 emitted. The higher powered diesel is the best combination of performance and economy, but.

The fact that the Beetle components with other VW Group classifies cars reduces maintenance costs, which should be in line with those of the VW Golf. There is also a fixed-price service offering that provides for 329 £ of maintenance for 3 years.

motors, drive & Performance

3 / 5

Latest beetle is far better than to drive previous, with powerful yet economical engines

the beetle is essentially a sixth generation VW Golf in funky clothes, each model drives meaning Good. Even the entry level 104bhp 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol with automatic transmission seven-speed DSG is coupled punchy acceleration and a comfortable ride. The engine responds and efficiently, while the automatic changes gears, even if it to react smoothly at low speeds, a bit slow.

The steering is sharp and the suspension comfortable, with larger 18-inch alloy wheels on Sport models improved grip and handling. The 158bhp 1.4-liter TSI gasoline in the Design and Sport versions has better performance than the 1.2-liter, while the 217bhp 2.0-liter TSI Sport, Turbo Black and Turbo Silver is the fastest.

However, the 148bhp 2.0-liter TDI diesel has a better combination of power and economy. Best efficiency comes from the BlueMotion version of the 2.0-liter diesel that returns 66mpg. The entry level model comes only with a six-speed manual transmission that is smooth and easy to use.

Interior & Comfort

3.2 / 5

The front seats are very comfortable and the interior is logically laid-out

Beetle ride quality is not quite usual to Volkswagen standards to be comfortable overall, but not always along well enough with potholes and bumps , It is certainly not as good as the Golf on which it is based, but it is more convenient than an Audi A1, without sacrificing too much grip.

All Beetle models are well built and have logically simple, high-quality buttons and switches throughout the building. The seats are all supportive, the Sport model with two-zone climate control, heated leather seats and a gloss black finish on the dashboard, steering wheel and above the doors. This can be modified for a variety of different colors. - But in most models, it is the same color as the exterior of the car

The pedals and steering wheel in all models weighted equally, while the view well all around the car. You can Navi and updated Fender stereo as options, as well as add a large panoramic sunroof that fills the interior with plenty of light.

practicality & trunk

2.6 / 5

of beetles can be tricky to park in tight spaces due to its curved body

Unlike the fact that only small children are able to use the rear seats and the curving roof reduces much headspace to a bit, the beetle is surprisingly practical. There will never be a conventional family sedan fit, but there is plenty of space up front for driver and front passenger, while visibility around good, though parking sensors help in tight maneuvers.

The interior features center console cupholders, many small storage solutions, two glove boxes and deep door bins (which is as large as the golf are not quite). split rear seats 50:50 and in the folded state, they increase the so-so 310-liter luggage compartment on a decent 05 liters. Unfortunately, the loading surface is not flat, which makes long loading a little headache objects.

Elsewhere, the curved shape of the Beetle can make a little bit difficult to judge its size and extremities, especially when parking.

reliability and safety

3.8 / 5

The based beetles on the previous Golf, so should be reliable

be

as on the same platform as the previous generation VW Golf, the VW beetle should prove how based reliable as this Car. All motors should also accurately determine been demonstrated elsewhere in the VW group. You also get a three-year / 60,000-mile warranty problems that arise to cover

In terms of safety, these beetles scored the maximum five-star rating in Euro NCAP crash safety tests -. Equipped with all models with six airbags, electronic stability control and antilock brakes.

price, price-performance ratio and options

3 / 5

There are a beetle for every budget, while equipment pretty good

The beetle is not cheap. That is, does the design specification start at less than the price of a basic golf - with all the Beetle driver and side airbags to be integrated, ISOFIX child seat points, electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, digital radio and a CD player as standard.

Mid-spec Sport costs about the same as the less well equipped (and less efficient) Golf GT, and makes for an interesting alternative to Renanult Megane Coupe and Vauxhall Astra GTC.

Of the limited editions, the Turbo Black and Turbo Silver are the most eye-catching, while the dune adds some visual interest with an increased ride height, distinctive colors and plastic cladding for a off-road look.

[1945074zumGlück], is the VW logo still a premium over the competition on the used car market areas, so that each beetle should have injected strong enough resale value has a pretty good deal if you move to your next car.

Our Sport test model pre-heated leather sport seats with manual adjustment and lumbar support. They are well padded, but the leather can be slippery when curves. You sit higher in the Beetle as the MkVI Golf on which it is based, and when combined with the small screen, this makes the front a little claustrophobic for six-footers. The tail is even worse.
Honest John
4 / 5
now Volkswagen beetle with the new and a look back, this is the original beetle of the 1930s in line much more. It is certainly more masculine than the previous Beetle and far less twee - it's for the start on the dashboard no vase - while the interior to the old model is built into it back to a flat dashboard and the apparent flip-up glovebox. Practicality is much improved with a boat that is almost 50 percent greater and interiors to space.

From most interest to us is a flagship 197bhp 2.0-liter petrol version hot versions of the Mini Cooper and Citroen DS3 to compete. It comes with VW-XDS electronic differential, installed as the Golf GTI to mimic the actions of a complete limited slip diff. This remains the hottest Beetle and is neatly distanced from the similar engined Golf GTI and Scirocco TSI of 11bhp.
