The icon that taught fun how it’s done.
There’s no mistaking a Beetle. It’s a bold
statement. A true original. One of one.
Add a turbocharged engine to the heart
of this icon and the thrill quickly shifts
into a whole other gear. So wipe that
smile all over your face. Because fun just
got a lot more fun. That’s the Power of
erman Engineering.

Design/Performance. You know the shape once you see it. That unforgettable profile.
Those classic headlights. It’s new and familiar all at the same time. With more sculpted
lines, available red brake calipers, and a sporty, leather-wrapped steering wheel, this
Beetle hits on all cylinders before you even hit the road. It wants to take on the next
straightaway. It wants to take on every curve.* It wants you in the driver’s seat.
*Always obey local speed and traffic laws.
Turbocharged.
Information Provided by:
Because fun is out there somewhere.
Performance. A good time won’t be hard to find. You have three powerful turbocharged
®
engines to choose from. From there, there’s an available XDS
better cornering. And choose an available DSG® automatic transmission that gives you the
option of enjoying ultra-fast shifts or shifting manually.* So don’t just sit there. You’re about to
find fun around every corner.

Saving has never been so fun. This available

The modern icon. Unveiled.
Information Provided by:
Design/Convertible. We took the Beetle that people know and love
and blew it wide open. A simple push of a button on the Beetle
Convertible lifts the roof for some serious fun in the sun. But you’ll still
see those unmistakable curves and characteristic headlights. It’s a
Beetle inside and out. Just modernized. And just as iconic.
Power-retracting soft top with simple 1-step operation
Only convertible in the U.S. with an available clean diesel
LED license plate lighting*
Bi-Xenon headlights. Brighter than traditional halogen
headlights, ours are framed by a distinctive row of LEDs for a
modern take on a classic look. The entire package is designed
to help you see. And be seen.*
Retro modern gauges. We took that familiar cluster of gauges
from the original Beetle and gave it a more modern look. It’s like
you’re looking into the past, but seeing into the future.
R-Line Convertible with Sound and Navigation shown in Deep Black Pearl
Rear spoiler. Every Beetle Convertible now comes with a rear
spoiler that doesn’t just increase its sportiness, it helps decrease
drag when your Beetle is cutting through the wind. And gives
people behind you something else to stare at.**
*Feature available on select models. **Always obey speed and traffic laws.
Syncs up with your senses.
Information Provided by:
Interior/Technology. Sit inside the Beetle and you’ll feel that instant
connection. It starts with the flat-bottom, multi-function steering
wheel in your hands and the available sport seats with leather
seating surfaces that hug your body as you hug the road. It continues
with the available touchscreen sound system and Volkswagen

Fender made its name with live performances, so it’s no surprise an

Interior. Get behind the wheel of the Beetle, and get ready. Because it’s the perfect place to be
cradled by the available sport seats when you start hugging corners.* The perfect vantage
point to take in the available performance gauges with lap timer and customizable ambient
lighting that gives off a beautiful glow. Of course, if all that’s not hot enough for you, the front
seats are even heated. Is it getting warm in here?
*Always obey local speed and traffic laws.
One cannot get by on good looks alone. So we also made it safe.
Information Provided by:
Safety. We’ll be the first to admit, looking good will only get you so far. And since we
want you to go as far as possible with your Beetle, we made it safe. In fact, the 2014
Beetle Coupe received a 5-star overall rating from the NHTSA.†† Plus, with both active
and passive safety features working together in unison, you won’t ever give peace of
mind a second thought. Safety. It’s a beautiful thing.
*Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. **The Intelligent Crash Response System
(
ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate.

Safety Features
Safety cage. Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash
ener
gy, while a rigid safety cage helps deflect it away from the
driver and passengers. It looks like we’ve got your back, front, and
every other side.
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS). The ICRS can
automatically disable the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and turn
on the hazard lights in the event of a collision that activates the
vehicle’s airbags.** It’s how your Beetle looks after you, even
when you can’t.
Adaptive airbags. Our airbags are designed to adapt to crash
severity, and special sensors in the doors help deploy the side
airbags faster in the event of a side impact.* We’re thinking
ahead, from every angle.
Seven stability-enhancing systems. Almost every new car
has stability control nowadays. But very few car companies go
to the extra length we do to help you maintain control. Like
including Anti-Slip Regulation and an Electronic Differential
Lock, to name a few. It’s nice to be in control.
R-Line shown in Reef Blue Metallic
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The Beetle is alert,
especially when it comes to its tires. To help stay efficient and
safe,† the Tire Pressure Monitoring System notifies you to a loss
of the tire pressure so you know when to put more air in.
Automatic Rollover Support System. Just when you thought it
couldn’t get safer, we added an Automatic Rollover Support
System to the Beetle Convertible that deploys two hidden steel
beams from behind the rear head restraints to help keep you
safe in the event of a rollover.

Nickname Badging Accessory Wheels VW Second Skin Graphics
For a car that’s loved the world over, it’s sure to
have some pretty cool nicknames in different
languages. So feel free to pick out a nickname in
your own language. Or one that just speaks to you.
Wheels don’t just make your car go. Sometimes
they make the car, period. Choose your alloy
wheels in different sizes and different looks.
And be prepared to hear, “Nice wheels.”
Want to have your Beetle really stand out?
Add a racing stripe right down the middle or
right on the sides. These available second skins
are designed to make a great first impression.
Customize. Go ahead and turn it up. Your Beetle was made for making a statement. Built
for building upon. Give it a more aggressive look with larger, sportier alloy wheels. Add
custom graphics like a racing stripe down the middle. That’s just a start. We’ll let you put
on the finishing touches.
