The 2016 Volkswagen Beetle will get you where you want to go, but it does so in a way that will bring a smile to your face. We like the Beetle's style and personality and the way it drives down the road. Woodstock. Fahrvergnugen. That silly little bud vase. Ferdinand Porsche. Flower power. Austin Powers. Herbie. Your sisters car in college.
Now that we have got all the possible references to its illustrious two predecessors out of the way, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle has a better chance to stand on its own. For, if you put aside its historic DNA, you're left with an intriguing compact car that strips away the function of a more conventional hatchback like the VW Golf in favor of distinctive styling inside and out.
The 2016 Volkswagen Beetle 1.8T models are powered by the turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Every 2016 Beetle comes standard with antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. A rearview camera is standard on SE trims
The S coupe adds automatic headlights, a rear spoiler, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and cloth upholstery. The 1.8T SE coupe adds 17-inch wheels, a rearview camera, heated front seats, V-Tex upholstery, three-color ambient lighting, a 6.3-inch touchscreen, VW Car-Net smartphone integration features, HD radio and available satellite radio.
