Japan Used Volkswagen NEW Beetle for Sale

The Volkswagen New Beetle is a compact car, introduced by Volkswagen in 1997, drawing heavy inspiration from the exterior design of the original Beetle. The New Beetle has its engine in the front, driving the front wheels, with luggage storage in the rear. In 2011 for the 2012 model year, a new Beetle model, the Beetle (A5), replaced the New Beetle. It is often referred to as the New Beetle as well. At the 1994 North American International Auto Show, Volkswagen unveiled the Concept One, a "retro"-themed concept car with a resemblance to the original Volkswagen Beetle. The concept car was based on the platform of the Volkswagen Polo. Designed by J Mays and Freeman Thomas at the company's California design studio. 

The transmission 5/6-speed manual, 4-speed automatic or 6-speed automatic Tiptronic is available. The New Beetle carries many design similarities with the original VW Beetle: separate wings, vestigial running boards, sloping headlamps and large round tail lights, as well as a high rounded roofline. It was assembled in VW's Puebla factory in Mexico. Announced at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2010 Final Edition New Beetle features Aquarius Blue paintwork, with the hardtop receiving a black painted roof and the convertible sporting Campanella White painted side panels. In addition to unique 17-inch wheels, both models will be powered by a 2.5-litre engine mated to an automatic "Tiptronic" transmission.
