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

rear passengers to get in and out.

As you unlock the backrest, the

front seats automatically slide

forwards. Carpet mats help protect

the interior and are standard on

1.9 TDI models and above, and

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.

05 The standard front centre armrest

doubles as a handy storage

compartment and houses the

optional six CD autochanger.

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.

01

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.
