Volkswagen New Beetle Gallery

Strong public reaction to the Concept 1 convinced the company to develop a production version which was launched as the New Beetle in 1998, based on the Golf IV's larger PQ34 platform. The New Beetle is related to the original only in name and appearance (including the absence of a car emblem script with the exception of the VW logo): under the hood, it is a modern car in every way. A convertible was added in mid year 2003 to replace the Volkswagen Cabrio.
The New Beetle carries many design features related to the old Beetle: separate wings, vestigial running boards, sloping headlamps and large round tail lights, as well as a high rounded roofline that provides enough headroom for tall drivers. It is assembled currently in VW Puebla factory in Mexico.
