Beetle

Shift into overjoy.

Beetle

Iconic fun comes standard with the 2017 Volkswagen Beetle.
After all, it’s designed for those in search of a daily dose of
excitement. It’s also for those who enjoy the comforts of modern
technology, in the spirit of an old soul. And for those looking for
the refined power found in a Volkswagen, it’s got that too. All of
this is so that you can drive for the overwhelming joy of it.

The original original.

It’s an icon and an original, once again. That’s because
we gave this classic a modern touch. Like available
Bi-Xenon headlights. A sleek available panoramic
sunroof. And an overall unique exterior design, including
sportier bumpers that amp up its iconic look, no
matter what angle you’re looking from. Slightly
redesigned. Fully redefined. But always an original.

Heated power side mirrors

Even the side mirrors on a Beetle can bring the heat. So if the visibility
starts to fog up, these can help give you a clear view.

LED taillights

The available LED taillights have been styled with precise contours
that perfectly flow with its design lines. The bright illumination can
also help cars behind you know that you’re applying the brakes.

Unique exterior colors

Available in Bottle Green, Habanero Orange, Fresh Fuchsia, and
Sandstorm Yellow. Four more reasons why the Volkswagen Beetle
is as unique today as it was when it first hit the streets.

Iconic design

The Beetle has always been ahead of its time. And we’ve taken
its iconic look to the next level. The Beetle unites classic styling
and modern technologies.

Panoramic sunroof

Take a drive on the brighter side of life. Open up the available
panoramic sunroof and let the sun shine down on you.

Bi-Xenon headlights

Available Bi-Xenon headlights with sleek LED Daytime Running Lights
boost a longer life and use less energy. It’s a really bright side to this
headlight story.

17- and 18-inch alloy wheels

A Beetle this distinctive needs wheels to match. The available designs
are perfectly matched to this time machine.

With a strong allegiance to design, the inside of
the Beetle shines as bright as the exterior. Thanks
to its retro-modern gauges and multi-function
steering wheel, as well as the available customizable
interior lighting and heritage-inspired glovebox, the
Beetle shows you what it’s made of — even while
sitting in park.

Leather-wrapped, multi-function steering wheel

Grab hold of the leather-wrapped, multi-function steering wheel and
you can take control of the road, your music, and so much more.

Frameless, auto-dimming reaview mirror

The way to look back and still be fashionably forward. The available
auto-dimming rearview mirror helps handle that garish light by
dimming when things from behind get too bright. Here’s to good
looks and looking out.

3-color ambient lighting

Available ambient lighting helps set the mood. Want another color?
You can get one in the blink of an eye.

V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces

Fall under the spell with available V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces,
which offer a premium feel.

Käferfach heritage-inspired glovebox

Vintage design is in the details, including the available Käferfach
glovebox that enhances the retro-modern look of the Beetle.
