The 2004 Volkswagen New Beetle is the second generation of this iconic compact car, also known as the Beetle A4. The New Beetle comes with a 2.0L Inline-4 engine producing 115 hp or a more punchy 1.8L Inline-4 turbocharged gasoline variant offering 150 hp. Diesel lovers might opt for the 1.9L Inline-4 TDI engine that generates 100 hp and is renowned for its fuel economy. All engine options are paired with a 5-speed manual or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. The New Beetle is FWD, and trims vary from the GL to the sportier Turbo S. Inside, the retro-inspired dash houses a CD player and power windows, while safety features include ABS, stability control, and front and side-impact airbags. Despite its compact size, the New Beetle has a reputation for strong build quality and charming, if polarizing, design cues, drawing from VW's storied history.
