Various car manufacturers are responding to this by coming up with retro models. Think of the Chrysler PT Cruiser, the Ford Thunderbird and the return of Mini. Volkswagen also participated in the trend and introduced the New Beetle. The modern reincarnation of the classic Volkswagen Beetle was built on the platform of the Golf and also appeared as a Convertible.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>tougher<\/strong><br\/><\/h2>\n\n<p>After an interim facelift in 2005 and many special editions, the New Beetle remained in production until 2011. That year the second generation appeared, but before that, Volkswagen did a number of things differently. For example, the name was changed to just &#8216;Beetle&#8217; and the car got a somewhat tougher styling with a slightly lower roofline. For example, Volkswagen hoped to achieve more success with the Beetle than with the New Beetle, which had actually only proved successful in the US.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>End of an era<\/strong><br\/><\/h2>\n\n<p>The Beetle was indeed better valued than the New Beetle, but the success still fell short of expectations. The introduction of special versions and the tough Dune version with &#8216;off-road clothing&#8217; changed little. In 2018, the Dutch importer already decided to stop supplying the model and in 2019 the Beetle also went out of production worldwide. In a sense, this brings an end to an era, because for the first time, Volkswagen no longer supplies a &#8216;Beetle model&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Engine type<\/td><td>petrol, 4-cylinder line<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Displacement<\/td><td>1,197 cm\u00b3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>max. assets<\/td><td>77 kW (105 hp)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bee<\/td><td>4,500 rpm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>max. couple<\/td><td>175 Nm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bee<\/td><td>1,400 rpm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Drive<\/td><td>front wheels<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Brakes from\/a<\/td><td>given disks\/discs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Turning circle<\/td><td>10.8 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Power range<\/td><td>77 to 162 kW<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Transmission<\/td><td>6MT<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Body type<\/td><td>3-drs. convertible<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Euro NCAP<\/td><td>5 stars<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market launch<\/td><td>Nov 2011<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Latest facelift<\/td><td>july 2016<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Guarantee<\/td><td>2 years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>From price<\/td><td>\u20ac31,890<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Particularities<\/td><td>The Beetle Coup\u00e9 and Convertible are available as Dune and Exclusive Series.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dimensions\/weights<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Tire size<\/td><td>215\/60 R16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>L x W x H<\/td><td>4,288 x 1,825 x 1,490mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wheelbase<\/td><td>2,538mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mass empty<\/td><td>1,295 kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>max. acc. wt.<\/td><td>n\/a kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>cont. bag. room.<\/td><td>310 l<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tank capacity<\/td><td>55 l<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consumption<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>conn. combined<\/td><td>5.5 l\/100 km<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CO\u2082 emissions<\/td><td>127 g\/km<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Energy label<\/td><td>C<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Acc. 0-100 km\/h<\/td><td>11.7 sec<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>top speed<\/td><td>178 km\/h<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By the late 1990s, with the turn of the century approaching, retro is a popular theme.
