The 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle is a stylish compact car available in either coupe or convertible body style. Its generation dates back to 1997 and carries over the retro-thematic design cues from the classic Beetle. It's powered by a 2.5-liter inline-five engine putting out 150 horsepower, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The New Beetle primarily features front-wheel drive. The car comes in two main trims: the base 'S' and upscale 'SE'. Notable safety features include antilock disc brakes, stability control, and front side airbags. On the tech side, it offered standard features such as full power accessories, keyless entry, and a MP3/CD audio system. However, in comparison to competitors, the model lacked features commonly found in 2007 compacts, such as navigation or advanced driver aids.
