2012 Volkswagen Beetle Summary

Legend reborn, again Rated]] 

 
 
 Overview
After a brief hiatus, the New Beetle returns for 2012 as just the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. The new Beetle sports a more aggressive, masculine design more true to the original people's car than the New Beetle. With its Porsche 911-esque profile, the 2012 VW Beetle is longer, lower, and wider than the outgoing model while still remaining a compact coupe. At its debut, the 2012 Beetle will have two models, two engine options and four engine options. The base engine in the Beetle 2.5 is a 2.5-liter I-5 producing 170 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque. The standard transmission is a five-speed manual, while a six-speed automatic is available. The base engine in the Beetle Turbo is the same 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 found in the Volkswagen GTI. The turbocharged I-4 produces 200-hp and 207 lb-ft of torque in the Beetle Turbo. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on the Beetle Turbo, and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic complete with paddle shifters is optional. A 2.0-liter turbodiesel is slated to join the lineup in late 2012. The 2012 Beetle's interior gets redone for 2012 too. The 2012 Beetle loses its flower-power vase, and instead features a retro-inspired cockpit that includes a painted dashboard, an extra glove box (dubbed the "Beetle Bin"), and optional center console-mounted auxiliary instruments including an oil temperature gauge, clock, and boost gauge, on turbo model
