About the Volkswagen Beetle
A favorite for generations, the Volkswagen Beetle blends iconic design with modern technology for an unforgettable ride. Revised front and rear bumpers combine to give the Beetle a youthful, athletic profile. The Beetle reflects a personality as unique as your own, thanks to a variety of bold, expressive exterior colors and available nickname badging. Thanks to a more powerful standard turbo engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® and Sport mode, the Volkswagen Beetle packs potent performance. Bluetooth with audio streaming lets you talk to your friends or play your music via your compatible smartphone, allowing you to focus on the drive. The optional VW Car-Net Security & Service feature and trial subscription can show you where you parked your Beetle, if you locked the doors, as well as handle bigger tasks like calling for help.
What the Critics Say
The Beetle is fun to drive, with quick responses and a suspension that's on the firm side. It's not a sharp corner carver, but it's better-composed than its retro looks suggest. Inside, the Beetle's retro theme carries over with a dashboard painted to match the exterior and no shortage of vintage kitsch." - The Car Connection
As we mentioned before, this Final Edition gets an extra splash of pizazz thanks to the diamond-stitched upholstery in lovely beige hues. It goes nicely with the Beetle's trademark painted interior panels, vintage style glove box and the single round instrument binnacle for all the dials." - Autoblog
What's New for 2019
The 2019 Volkswagen Beetle will be the last production year of the iconic coupe and convertible, exactly seven decades after it first came to the United States in 1949. As part of a year-long farewell to the much-loved Beetle, special Beetle Final Edition models help give the model a proper sendoff.
Beetle Final Edition coupe and convertible models feature two unique colors that echo the beige and light blue colors chosen for the end of the first-generation Beetle production in 2003 -- Stonewashed Blue and Safari Uni. They come equipped with unique wheels, either a 17-inch aluminum alloy with a 15-spoke pattern or an 18-inch alloy ?disc? design with white trim. If you?ve always dreamed of owning a Volkswagen Beetle, this is your last opportunity to experience the vehicle that?s created a sensation across the globe.

The People First Warranty Coverage
Fun to drive. Easy to cover. A New Vehicle Limited Warranty* covering 6 years or 72,000 miles, whichever occurs first, isn't generous; it's proof of our confidence.
A warranty built for two. If you sell your Beetle, the remainder of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty* transfers to the new owner at no cost to you.
Compare our warranty to the runners-up. Our bumper-to-bumper transferable New Vehicle Limited Warranty* is longer, in years and mileage, than our competitors.
*6 years/72,000 miles (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty on MY2018 and newer VW vehicles, excluding e-Golf. Remainder of warranty coverage transfers to subsequent vehicle owner. See owner's literature or dealer for warranty exclusions and limitations.
Beetle Convertible
If being open is more of your style, Volkswagen offers a Beetle Convertible model lineup. It has the same great available features and trims as the Beetle, but offers a power-folding soft top.
