The new Vw Beetle has a special attraction here, the twisted and the people on the street heads. There is hardly a car that attracts more attention to itself, even in the rather nondescript "platinum gray" - Metallic paint of our test cars.

You feel immediately at home in the Beetle, and the functionality is excellent. All buttons and functions are where you expect them, and the materials used have a very high standard.
The space is excellent in the front row for the rear passengers is limited by the spherical shape of a little tight.

After all, can be expanded by folding down the rear seats on the volume up to 905 liters.
Practical storage and the flair of the original Beetle round out the very positive impression of the interior even more.
Compared to its predecessors, the new Beetle can come up with a top sound insulation. Even at highway speeds is the 1.2-liter TSI engine inside to hear nothing, and the rolling and wind noise are very low.
Its maximum torque of 175 Nm, the engine delivers 1550-4100 rev / min, which is available right at the start of growth spurt.
