Volkswagen South Africa will launch the brand new redesigned Beetle in early October. We have the lowdown on the engine models and some indicative pricing! Beetle is a direct competitor to the MINI from BMW and as such, is considered to be a premium car. Therefore the indicative entry price of R250 500 seems well within reach.
The car will come fitted with either 1.2-litre TSI or a 1.4-litre TSI. The smaller is good for 77kW, while the bigger does 118kW. There is talk of a performance model which hopefully will come good with 132kW or even 155kW.
Some of the optional features include a 10-channel music amp with 400 watts on its palate, and a satellite navigation system.
VW says new Beetle has shed the girly, “flower-power” image of its early 2000s predecessor, and is now ready to play among serious, more masculine contenders like the Citroen DS3.
