Already iconic, the Beetle was the world’s best selling car with the most recognizable shape.
The first Beetle came to life in 1983, but it was sold under the nameplate of Type I, 1200, 1300 and 1500. The Beetle was also nicknamed „Bug”. The new models still hold the “people’s car” design.

Volkswagen presented the coupe and the convertible Beetle in 2016, with three engine options: a 1.8-liter producing 170 hp, a 2.0-liter with 150 hp and the most powerful, a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder developing 210 hp. Users could choose between a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, as well as a dual clutch one.

Most probably because the Beetle was mostly bought by women, Volkswagen redesigned the exterior to attract more male buyers. The Beetle no longer looks that happy, but it was still a cute car, rather than having an aggressive look. The roof was lowered and the windshield was more upright. As most german cars, the design lasted over the years.

The cabin was simple, practical, with a clean look. The front seats were comfortable, while the backseats offered little to no legroom and headroom.

The cargo area was decent for the coupe, but not the case for the convertible with the wind deflector collapsed.

The top of the range was represented by the Dune version of the Beetle, which was taller and wider than the others.

The Dune was also available in both coupe and convertible forms.
