Since its launch, which took place after more than a decade, Volkswagen NewBeetle was considered an iconic product design. In addition, the whole fusscreated around him did not bring anything other than million copies sold during the13 to 14 years of production. And the good news does not stop there. To their joy,lovers of retro products have a new generation - simply named Volkswagen Beetle.
Unveiled a world premiere in mid-April, the new Volkswagen Beetle became an instant classic. Retro lines and forms were again combined with attention and give rise to an attractive design, which is remarkable since the first appearance. Anattractive design and at the same time representative, not least, polished with many modern influences, to the period in which we live.



In short, compared to the previous generation, the new Volkswagen Beetle enjoys a lower roofline and more aggressive. Moreover, once arched shape nowdisappeared from the landscape, the style element can arouse much controversy.However, due to the emergence of this issue, the German manufacturer hopes toattract male model or more public than ever before.
Also, while the lights remained unchanged and kept their roundness - in addition, itnow can be equipped with LED taillights have taken a completely different form. If it’s good or bad remains to be seen and then analyzed over time.
And that’s not all. Another significant change is found in the engine hood, which not only increased in size, but is also much flatter. As a result, the new VolkswagenBeetle enjoys a bright and attractive smile, the old models never seen before.
We also have a list with less noticeable stylistic details. Compared with the previous generation, the new creation Wolfsburg German manufacturer of doorsenjoying the presence of redesigned and equipped with curved lines. In addition, when viewed from the side, the Volkswagen Beetle of the XXI Century boasts the presence of side windows without frames.
Once inside, passengers will notice the next occurrence of material (more) qualityof a wheel equipped with three-spoke design and a redesigned board tools. Asexpected, the list of missing equipment availability is no latest news in technology,but following the female segment that lacks Flower positioned in the dashboard.
From a technical standpoint, things are as follows: engine line promises to pleaseeven the most demanding customer, three gasoline engines, diesel respectivelyproviding a high efficiency. May at length, the new Volkswagen Beetle is availablein basic version with a 1.2 TSI 105 hp and 175 Nm. In this case, the first 100 km / hcomes after 10.9 seconds and top speed is 180 km / h. Fuel consumption? 5.9liters per 100 km.
Those who want more than that may opt for a 160 hp 1.4 TSI that produces 240 Nmat 5,800 rpm and between 1500-4500 rpm. Equipped with this engine, retro-German model accelerates from 0-100 km / h in just 8.3 seconds, the speedometer needle climbed up to 208 km / h. No fuel consumption does not lookworse, it standing at the barrier of 6.6 liters of gasoline.
