The 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible resides towards the end of the model's decades-long tenure as an icon of VW design. The nostalgic character is powered with a 2.5L five-cylinder engine delivering 150 horsepower, matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. Only one trim level was offered in the final years of its production, equipped with leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, and an MP3-compatible audio system. The Beetle Convertible is a front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicle that also offers standard safety features like stability control, traction control, anti-lock disc brakes,
and front side airbags. Its main infotainment feature is an AM/FM radio with a single-CD player, reflective of the tech offerings when the car was introduced.
