VW Beetle Cabriolet 2.0 TSI (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Greg Pajo), 14 March 2013 09:00

VW’s range already boasts two drop-tops: the Golf Cabriolet and folding hard-top Eos. Now, the retro-styled VW Beetle joins the convertible contingent, and CAR has driven it in 2.0-litre Turbo guise to see how it stacks up. Clearly hoping that we winter-weary, Vitamin D-starved Brits would burn ourselves silly and write deludedly nice things while suffering a bout of sunstroke, ...

Volkswagen has taken a can-opener to the Beetle, just as the nights draw in and the weather turns even less summery. Still, the new 2012 VW Beetle Cabriolet is said to be improved over the old version, with a retro look that VW claims is the most akin to the 1940s original yet. What's different about the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle ...

It's a Herbie GTI! Volkwagen is topping off the Beetle range with high-powered petrol and diesel variants. There are also two new special edition trimlines to choose from, and the option of a Fender-developed sound system for audiophiles. So, is this a new VW Beetle GTI? No, despite the 197bhp, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine being similarly powerful to the one in the ...

Tim Pollard, 22 April 2012 00:01

Volkswagen, one of the biggest players in China's swelling car market, chose Beijing to unveil its latest E-Bugster - a good look at the forthcoming convertible version of the Beetle. We saw the E-Bugster in tin-top form at the 2012 Detroit auto show; now they've gone and chopped the top fully for Beijing. It's a two-seater speedster version of the ...

Volkswagen has designs on expanding its Beetle family - and the new 2012 VW E-Bugster gives us a few clues to what's in store. As the name suggests, the E-Bugster is an electric Beetle, showcasing Wolfsburg's new e-powertrain coming to the Golf and other family members sooner than you might think. The Golf Blue-e-motion goes on sale in 2013. But ...

VW Beetle Cabriolet (2012) - new soft-top scooped

Tim Pollard, 01 December 2011 12:22

Volkswagen is readying the new 2012 Beetle Cabriolet - and the convertible Bug will stick with a cloth roof, these spy photos suggest. Our scoop photographers caught the new cabrio on test in southern Europe, with only the mildest of disguise around the headlamps to hide what's new. It seems to adopt some of the look of the 2005 Ragster ...

Georg Kacher, 17 August 2011 09:00

In the new September issue of CAR Magazine our European editor Georg Kacher has been behind the wheel of both the gorgeous VW Bulli concept and the New Beetle Mk2 - back-to-back with their original, iconic predecessors. We couldn't squeeze in everything Georg wanted to say about the original Beetle and Bulli in the latest issue, so here's the extra content... ...

VW Beetle Cabriolet (2012) revealed

Tim Pollard (artist's impressions by Christian Schulte), 10 May 2011 07:00

Volkswagen will chop the top off the new Beetle in early 2012. Our new artist's impressions reveal the new Beetle Cabriolet, which is due to stick with its soft-top fabric roof stashed unfashionably high on the rump. Why no folding metal roof? It's considered just too big and bulky for a car of this size - and don't forget the ...

After 11 long years on sale the New Beetle is dead – its successor is this, The Beetle. We'll just call it the new 2011 VW Beetle. 2011 VW Beetle: trading flower-power for outlaw rodder Wider, lower and longer, the 2011 Beetle abandons its predecessors three semi-circle styling for the flat-roof look of 2005’s hot rod-inspired Ragster concept. At the front, the Beetle ...

Tim Pollard, 28 January 2011 10:18

These are the latest spy photos of the new 2011 Volkswagen Beetle, which will be unveiled this spring. Expect to see the new VW Bug around April/May time, away from the usual motor show schedule.
