New Beetle driving is about enjoyment. So to maximise your enjoyment
we thought you’d appr
eciate loads of great features. Like ESP, power
steering, central locking, front electric windows and body-coloured door
mirrors with integrated indicators which are also electrically heated and
adjustable. The driver’s side door mirror is also fitted with wide angle
glass to make overtaking safer.
You’ll also find a powerful ‘Gamma’ radio/CD player with six loudspeakers
in the New Beetle, and 10 in the New Beetle Cabriolet. It not only provides
terrific stereo sound – it also blends perfectly with the New Beetle’s
dashboard design.
01 The unique interior of the New Beetle is trimmed with ‘Eclipse’
cloth upholstery, and features a useful front centre armrest with
storage compartment.
02 An extensive list of interior features includes a digital clock and
exterior temperature gauge.
03 The remote switches for the boot and petrol cover are positioned
in the driver’s door for easy reach.
04 A glance at the clear and easy to read dashboard will provide you
with important data.
05 Sporty 16" ‘Houston’ alloy wheels with 205/55 tyres are standard on
the Luna 1.4 litre and Luna 1.6 litre models for both the New Beetle
and New Beetle Cabriolet.
A unique exterior and interior.

The attractive and durable seat
upholstery in ‘Eclipse’ design
comes in a range of appealing
colours. Interior shown is New
Beetle Cabriolet 1.9 TDI.
02 All models in the New Beetle
Cabriolet range have electric
front and rear windows as
standard. Located in the driver’s
door, the controls can operate
the windows individually or all
at once. So it’s easy to remove
the last barrier between you and
the feeling of pure freedom that
only a cabriolet can deliver.
For comfort and safety the front
electric windows feature a one-
touch open and close facility
and anti-trapping protection,
should anything be in the way.
03 To improve all-round vision,
the body-coloured door mirrors
are both heated and electrically
adjustable. Their simple
operation makes adjustment
for individual drivers a fast
and easy process. These door
mirrors also feature integrated
indicators to make your
intentions totally clear.
04 The height and reach adjustable
steering wheel ensures the
optimum driving position.
05 Manual air conditioning
provides year round comfort.
Standard on 1.9 TDI, 2.0 litre
and 1.8T models.
06 Amongst its extensive list of
features, the ‘Gamma’ radio
boasts a single CD player,
30 station presets, a scan
facility and Traffic Information
Memory (TIM).
Wherever you sit in the New Beetle Cabriolet you’ll always enjoy a comfortable place in the sun. It’s all
down to ergonomic design – the way that c omfort and space are both achieved to maximum effect, ensuring
the New Beetle Cabriolet is a fully accomplished four seater. The harmonious blend of design and function
is also evident in the dashboard area, where the driver enjoys a clear view of the instruments and will find
all controls within easy reach. In fact, all around you’ll find proof of the New Beetle Cabriolet’s high quality
workmanship and attentio n to detail – even down to the unique vase for your favourite flower.

01 ‘Easy entry’ seats make it easier for

optional on all other models.
02 For night-time use, the vanity
mirror is illuminated.
03 The cup holders keep your drinks
safe and within easy reach.
04 Driver’s and front passenger’s seat
height adjustment will help you
achieve the most comfortable
seating position.

We hope you’ll agree that the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are somewhat special when you compare
them with other cars on the road today. Their individuality and practical solutions are part of their appeal.
For example, as a two door, we designed some special front seats that lift up and aw ay, so it’s easy to get into
the back. This simple task is almost effortless due to the design detail.
We’ve also included numerous features for your convenience, such as the two removable cup holders
incorporated into the centre console. We allowed plenty of storage space, hence the net pockets on the front
doors of the New Beetle, the door pockets in the front of the New Beetle Cabriolet, the document pockets on the
rear of the front seats, the glove compartment and the front centre armrest (front centre armrest storage area is
reduced if the optional front armrest-mounted six CD autochanger is fitted).
06 07
06 Alwa
ys close to hand. The New
Beetle Cabriolet’s door pockets
provide plenty of room for maps,
books, CDs, suncream or sunglasses.
07 With the first drop, the New Beetle
Cabriolet’s rain sensor activates
the windscreen wipers and adjusts
their speed to the intensity of the
rainfall. With similar ingenuity,
the anti-dazzle rear-view mirror
automatically darkens if lights
from a following car are too bright.
Optional on all New Beetle models.
* Some parts of leather interior will contain artificial leather.

The sun is rising.
01 – 04 The multilayered textile hood of the
New Beetle Cabriolet can be opened and
closed both quickly and easily. When closed,
its taut fit is a particularly impressive element
of the car’s design, creating an atmosphere
where outside noises can barely be heard.
It even features a glass, heated rear screen.
The choice of fine quality materials and the
highest standards of workmanship help ensure
the hood’s exceptional durability – against
abrasion, the weather and even the brushes
of a car wash.
05 Releasing the hood is simple. Just push and
twist the handle to unlock, then leave the rest
to the electric assistance.*
06 If you are travelling briskly, wind buffeting can
be reduced by a wind def lector. Available as an
optional extra, it can be fitted in seconds to
reduce air turbulence.
07 Fitted in the centre console, the control for the
power hood can be easily reached.*
As a precautionary measure, a hood warning
light near the release handle will inform you
if the hood is not securely locked.
* Manual hood on Luna 1 .4 litre models.
Simply unlock the New Beetle Cabriolet’s hood and
then hold the operating button as the electrically
operated hood glides down.* As it concertinas and
folds f lat, it comes to rest on the tail end. From start to
finish, this elegant operation has taken just 13 seconds.
For neatness, it can then be tucked under the tailored
hood cover that is colour co-ordinated to the chosen
upholstery colour of your New Beetle Cabriolet.
Beauty needn’t affect functionality.
Model shown is 1.9 TDI with optional 17" ‘Sarasota’ alloy wheels and front fog lights.

With the Volkswagen New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet, quality takes
on a new importance. Because with a car that looks so good, you’ll want to
enjoy its classic design for as long as possible. The complete body of both
models is therefore galvanised to protect against corrosion. Moreover, your
Volkswagen retailer even gives you a 12-year warranty against rusting through.
The excellent build quality of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet
is evident in many other ways, for example, the narrow and uniform gaps
between the body panels. Such precision build is pos sible because of its
great body rigidity achieved through special bonding techniques on areas
of particular strain. Close fit panels have numerous benefits in cluding
reduced wind noise and improved aerodynamics which in turn lead to
reduced fuel consumption. Not only is body strength an important safety
measure, it’s also key to great roadholding.
Impressive build quality is not only seen, it can be heard and felt as well.
Like the sound the door makes as it closes or how the refined interior surfaces
are pleasant to touch.
The excellent quality also shows in another, crucial field: repair friendliness.
The wings and bumpers are made of resilient plastic and bolted to the body.
Consequently, some panels can be exchanged in minutes, for example after
parking damage.
01 The narrow tolerances
between the panels highlight
the exceptional build quality.
02 The use of computerised
construction techniques
helps ensure the precise
fit of every panel.
03 Perfect workmanship
provides a perfect finish.

A galvanised body can be
admired for years to come.

01 The standard side airbags help
protect the driver and front
seat passenger in the event
of a side impact.
02 Driver and front passenger
airbags are standard to help
protect the front seat occupants.
03 The front passenger airbag can
be deactivated, to allow the use
of a rear facing child seat, by the
simple turn of a key.
04 ABS helps you to steer around
potential hazards, under hard
braking, by preventing the wheels
from locking.
02 03 04
05
0601
05 In a potentially
dangerous situation,
the Electronic Stabilisation Programme
(ESP) will intervene to diffuse the
problem. Through the brake and
engine management systems, it will
specifically slow down individual
wheels for greater stability. However,
this enhanced system should not
lead to carelessness, because ESP
cannot defy the laws of physics.
In conjunction with ESP, two other
systems are in force to provide
improved roadholding and safety.
They are Electronic Differential Lock
(EDL) and Traction Control (ASR) –
a formidable combination to help
the vehicle’s stability and grip on
poor or wet surfaces.
06 The New Beetle Cabriolet’s rollover
protection system is hidden behind
the rear backrests. Through intelligent
electronic sensors, the possibility of
a rollover or impact will be detected
and immediate action taken. Within
milliseconds the rollover bars will
eject and, together with the reinforced
windscreen frame, provide protection
to passengers.
We know you’ll enjoy driving the New Beetle, but we want you to fe el
totally safe and secure as well. The chassis, for example, is strengthened at
important points across the bodywork. Such joints absorb energy, and help
to keep the inner protective safety cell intact following a collision. You’ll
also notice that in the New Beetle Cabriolet there’s no rollover bar to
obstruct the view of the clear blue sky. You can be assured however that
it’s there if you need it. At the slightest hint of a roll or impact, rollover bars
eject from the rear backrests and together with a reinforced windscreen
frame provide exceptional prote ction to passengers.
In addition to front airbags (passenger’s front airbag can be deactivated if
required), the driver and front passenger have the reassurance of side
airbags, an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) for exceptional
roadholding on poor or wet surfaces and front active head restraints which
help lower the risk of whiplash injuries in the event of an accident. The two
rear passengers are protected by three-point seat belts and head restraints.
In fact, there are numerous electronic features that are constantly
monitoring and assessing the driving situation and they are ready to
react in milliseconds should the need arise. We believe that prevention
is the safest form of protection. And when you feel safe, you can enjoy the
touring experience of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet even more.
In addition, there is the innovative Isofix child seat mounting system.
This allows children’s seats, equipped with the Isofix system, to be fitted
securely to the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet’s body via eyes
between the rear seat backrest and seat base. Child seats with the Isofix
system can be purchased from your Volkswagen retailer.
The epitome of modern day safety.

Advanced engineering.
Over the years, Volkswagen has been at the forefront of engine design, developing an envious
reputation for technical innovation. Our engines achieve our focused objectives – to offer the
perfect combination of p erformance, fuel efficiency* and environmental awareness.
The petrol engines:
The New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are available with a wide choice of petrol engines.
The range starts with a four cylinder, 1.4 litre unit that develops 75 PS. With its smooth
running, it’s ideal for relaxed cruising. If you’d prefer a power boost and similar acceleration,
then the 1.6 litre 102 PS may be for you. Maybe the refinement of the 2.0 litre 115 PS is more
to your taste – an engine capable of taking the New Beetle to 115 mph where the law permits.
Then there’s the turbocharged 1.8 litre engine which produces a superb 1 50 PS and gives
exceptional performance. Whichever engine you choose it’s reassuring to know they’ve all
been developed with fuel efficiency* and low exhaust emissions in mind, and all confor m to
EU4 emissions regulations.
The diesel engine:
Available for the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet is the 1.9 litre TDI 105 PS. Not only
can it accelerate the New Beetle Cabriolet from stands till to 62 mph in 12.0 seconds whilst
returning 51.4 mpg over the Combined cycle, it also conforms to EU4 emissions regulations –
combining low fuel consumption* and CO
2
emissions with high power output.
The gearbox:
All engines of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are equipped with a five speed
manual gearbox, characterised by a smoothness of operation and powerful acceleration.
Alternatively, with the 2.0 litre engine, you could opt for a six speed automatic tiptronic in
the New Beetle or New Beetle Cabriolet. The innovative automatic tiptronic t ransmission
gives you the best of both worlds. When you fancy the involvement of a manual, you can
change gear by a simple ‘tipping’ action of the gear lever forwards or backwards. Should
you be faced with city traffic, you can then rely on the automatic function for more relaxed
driving. The automatic tiptronic gearbox even has se veral mode functions tha t interpret
your driving style, so should you be accelerating hard it will recognise this and amend the
shift pattern accordingly.
* Please see the individual specifications in this section for fuel consumption figures.
