The 2016 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible blends retro styling cues with contemporary driving dynamics. Part of the third Beetle generation, it comes with two engine options: a 1.8-liter turbocharged I4 producing 170 horsepower and a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 that ups the ante to 210 horsepower. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission propelling the front wheels. Two primary trims are offered, 1.8T and R-Line 2.0T, with the latter offering more performance and sport-infused touches. The Beetle convertible is equipped with features like a power-folding top, Bluetooth, touchscreen interface, and a USB port. Safety highlights include a post-collision braking system, stability control, and a comprehensive array of airbags, but lacks some of the latest driver assistance technologies.
