Used Volkswagen Beetle information

Engines and transmissions

With so many model years available for the Volkswagen Beetle, there's a long list of available powertrains to choose from. Sticking with the New Beetle only, there are diesel and petrol options, with a manual or an automatic gearbox and standard front-wheel drive.

Petrol
  • 1.2-litre producing 103bhp is the most efficient of these two at around 52mpg.
  • 1.4-litre outputting 148bhp earns the lowest efficiency rating of 47.9mpg.
  • GSR special edition had a 2.0-litre engine that generated 207bhp.
Diesel
  • 1.6-litre produces 103bhp and has an impressive fuel economy of 65mpg.
  • 2.0-litre creates 108bhp in the base version, making it the most efficient at 65.7mpg.
  • Different trims can increase power to 147bhp while retaining fuel efficiency at around 61mpg.

Practicality

The Volkswagen Beetle is a practical car for front-seat passengers. However, most people purchase the Beetle for its stylish and fun nature rather than for its practicality.

Interior space
  • Front seats are accommodating and comfortable.
  • Sloping roofline makes the back seat better for children.
  • Standard ISOFIX points in the rear seat, with an optional one available for the front passenger seat.
Boot space
  • Improved boot space with the final generation increases the size to 310 litres, giving it more than the MINI Hatchback.
  • Rear seats flip down to increase the space to 905 litres.
  • Slight step created when folding the seats, so boot floor isn't entirely flat.
Bodystyles
  • Two-door coupé provides iconic styling and protection from the weather.
  • Two-door convertible offers more fun on warm, sunny days.

Safety

  • Euro NCAP rating was a perfect five stars.
  • Both adult occupant and child occupant ratings are 90% or higher.
  • Standard safety kit includes airbags, hill-hold assist and a post-collision braking system.

Technology

  • 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes standard with the latest models.
  • Bluetooth connectivity is easy to use.
  • DAB radio comes standard in final generation.

Volkswagen Beetle generations

Since 1945, the Volkswagen Beetle had been produced and shipped around the world. Its iconic appearance went mostly unchanged until the New Beetle was unveiled in 1997. After two generations of the new design, Volkswagen decided to pull the plug on production following the 2019 model, making it one of the longest-selling vehicles in history.

Used Volkswagen Beetle FAQ's

Which is the most popular engine in the Volkswagen Beetle?

Both the 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre TSI petrol engines tend to be the most popular. However, it's not difficult to find the diesel engines either, which offer better fuel efficiency overall.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

At the end of production, there were four trim levels offered for both the coupé and convertible: Base, Design, R-Line and Dune. The Design is the most popular with a rear spoiler, front fog lights and 17-inch alloy wheels. Buyers preferred this model because it's a step up from the base in terms of equipment levels, but isn't that much more expensive, so there's a better combination of features and value.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Customers should look out for some extra styling with upgraded wheel designs and a twin-pipe exhaust system. There's also the option for dual-zone climate control to increase comfort, as well as cruise control and parking sensors.

Is the Volkswagen Beetle a good family car?

While most people aren't attracted to the Beetle for its ability to carry a family due to its three-door layout, it can be used to do so. The back seat is spacious enough for children and there are ISOFIX points installed to secure child seats. The boot space was increased in the last generation, providing plenty of room for shopping bags.

Is there a hybrid version of the Volkswagen Beetle?

When the Beetle ceased production in 2019, there had not been a hybrid version. There were only petrol or diesel engines available. Customers who want a hybrid VW car should consider the Golf, Passat or Arteon.

Is the Volkswagen Beetle available as an automatic?

Yes, you can find automatic examples of the Beetle on the used market. Look for "DSG" models, this is the name of the brand's automatic gearbox. The majority of used Volkswagen Beetles have a manual gearbox, which offers more control.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

No, Volkswagen did not make a four-wheel drive Beetle. Instead, all models have front-wheel drive, resulting in better fuel efficiency and a reduced cost to buy.
