201 8 Beetle
What could possibly be better than the iconic, fun-to-drive Beetle?
That’s easy — two of them. Take your pick from the always-classic
coupe or the sun-loving convertible. Then enjoy the comforts of
modern technology with the spirit of an old soul. This Beetle is the
perfect one-two punch.
Two fun to drive.

modern touches. Like a 2.0L TSI® 174-hp turbocharged engine. Available Bi-Xenon
headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights in front and LED taillights in back.
Plus a 6-speed automatic transmission to put everything into high gear.* The
Beetle shows that fun never goes out of style.

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 technology.

The rear spoiler on the Beetle gives a
sleek

the car. So while you're turning corners,
it's turning heads.
The 6-speed automatic transmission offers
acceleration and smooth gear changes.
But if you’re looking for more control, shift
manually in Tiptronic mode and, to enhance
your experience, drop it into Sport mode to
amplify the fun.

Available Driver Assistance features are designed to give you confidence. For starters, there’s Blind
Spot Monitor, which can help alert you if a car is in your blind spot, and Park Distance Control (Park
Pilot), which can help you pull in or back out of parking spaces. And Rear Traffic Alert to help you back
up with more confidence.* Welcome to the 2018 Beetle, now with available peace of mind.
Helps you stay out of trouble.
The available Rear Traffic Alert comes in handy
when you’re backing up. It has sensors that can
alert you to vehicles crossing in your path when
in reverse, and can even help brake the vehicle
if needed.
The available Park Distance Control (Park Pilot) has sensors that can help alert you as you back
out of or drive into a parking spot. Audible signals and the optical parking system on the display
indicate how much space you have behind and, on some vehicles, in front of the vehicle when
parking. The frequency of the signal tone increases as the vehicle draws closer to the obstacle.
If you get too close, a continuous tone sounds as a warning. The display provides additional
information to the driver by showing the position of obstacles.
The sensors on the available Blind Spot Monitor
are able to help sense what you might miss.
When driving, if you attempt to change lanes,
the Blind Spot Monitor can help alert you to
cars that may be in your blind spot.

In the event of a collision that deploys the
airbags,** the ICRS can turn off the fuel pump,
unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights.
It helps react if you might not be able to.
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS
)*
Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash
ener
gy, while a rigid safety cage helps deflect it
away from the driver and passengers.
Safety cage
From Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution
(
EBD),
which helps maintain appropriate stopping
power during a hard-braking situation, to Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), which can adjust engine
throttle and apply corrective forces to the wheels
that need them most, your vehicle is equipped
with a total of seven stability-enhancing systems.
Seven stability-enhancing systems
Monitoring and maintaining proper air pressure
in
your tires helps with efficiency and safety. The
TPMS helps alert you to a loss of tire pressure so
you know when to add air.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS
)
We spend long hours engineering and testing safety features before they’re
ready for you. With seven stability-enhancing systems, an Intelligent Crash
Response System (ICRS),* plus a safety cage made of high-strength steel,
the Beetle allows you to be comfortable in your own shell, in its shell.
A lot goes in before you do.
*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. **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.
