The 2017 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, part of the third and final generation, is a neo-retro FWD tribute to an iconic past. The 6-speed automatic transmission pairs with either a 1.8L turbocharged four-cylinder with 170 horsepower, or a 2.0L turbo-four producing 210 horsepower in the R-Line SEL model. In terms of trims, the roster includes S, SE, SEL, and R-line SEL each with its own comprehensive set of features. Standout safety features include a rearview camera and Volkswagen's Car-Net telematics system which provides automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, and stolen vehicle location assistance. The infotainment system features a 6.3-inch touchscreen interface with VW’s Car-Net App-Connect, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto availability. The Beetle aims at a nostalgic connection with modern technology and safety offering a unique blend of old and new.
