The 2003 Volkswagen New Beetle is part of the model's second generation. This compact car is available in two body styles: hatchback and convertible. It comes with two engine options: a 2.0-liter I4 producing 115 horsepower and a turbocharged 1.8-liter I4 that delivers 150 horsepower. Both of these engines pair with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. Key safety features include anti-lock brakes and front and side-impact airbags. Inside, the New Beetle features a vintage-inspired design with modern amenities such as a six-speaker audio system, power windows and locks, and optional heated front seats. There were no significant changes for the 2003 model year.
