The New Beetle
and New Beetle Cabriolet

A unique exterior and interior.
New Beetle driving is about enjoyment. So to maximise your enjoyment we thought you'd appreciate loads of great features. Like ESP, power steering, central locking, front electric windows and body-coloured door mirrors with integrated indicators which are also electrically heated and adjustable. The driver's side door mirror is also fitted with wide angle glass to make overtaking safer.
You'll also find a powerful 'Gamma' radio/CD player with six loudspeakers in the New Beetle, and 10 in the New Beetle Cabriolet. It not only provides terrific stereo sound – it also blends perfectly with the New Beetle's dashboard design.


- An extensive list of interior features includes a digital clock and exterior temperature gauge.
- The system maintains the above described temperature parameters.

| 01 The attractive and durable seat upholstery in ‘Eclipse’ design comes in a range of appealing colours. Interior shown is New Beetle Cabriolet 1.9 TDI. | 03 To improve all-round vision, the body-coloured door mirrors are both heated and electrically adjustable. Their simple operation makes adjustment for individual drivers a fast and easy process. These door mirrors also feature integrated indicators to make your intentions totally clear. | 06 Amongst its extensive list of features, the ‘Gamma’ radio boasts a single CD player, 30 station presets, a scan facility and Traffic Information Memory (TIM). |
| 02 All models in the New Beetle Cabriolet range have electric front and rear windows as standard. Located in the driver's door, the controls can operate the windows individually or all at once. So it's easy to remove the last barrier between you and the feeling of pure freedom that only a cabriolet can deliver. For comfort and safety the front electric windows feature a one-touch open and close facility and anti-trapping protection, should anything be in the way. | 04 The height and reach adjustable steering wheel ensures the optimum driving position. | |
| 05 Manual air conditioning provides year round comfort. | ||
| Standard on 1.9 TDI, 2.0 litre and 1.8T models. |
Wherever you sit in the New Beetle Cabriolet you'll always enjoy a comfortable place in the sun. It's all down to ergonomic design – the way that comfort and space are both achieved to maximum effect, ensuring the New Beetle Cabriolet is a fully accomplished four seater. The harmonious blend of design and function is also evident in the dashboard area, where the driver enjoys a clear view of the instruments and will find all controls within easy reach. In fact, all around you'll find proof of the New Beetle Cabriolet's high quality workmanship and attention to detail – even down to the unique vase for your favourite flower.







We hope you'll agree that the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are somewhat special when you compare them with other cars on the road today. Their individuality and practical solutions are part of their appeal. For example, as a two door, we designed some special front seats that lift up and away, so it's easy to get into the back. This simple task is almost effortless due to the design detail.
We've also included numerous features for your convenience, such as the two removable cup holders incorporated into the centre console. We allowed plenty of storage space, hence the net pockets on the front doors of the New Beetle, the door pockets in the front of the New Beetle Cabriolet, the document pockets on the rear of the front seats, the glove compartment and the front centre armrest (front centre armrest storage area is reduced if the optional front armrest-mounted six CD autochanger is fitted).
* Some parts of leather interior will contain artificial leather.

Simply unlock the New Beetle Cabriolet's hood and
then hold the operating button as the electrically operated hood glides down.* As it concertinas and
folds flat, it comes to rest on the tail end. From start to
finish, this elegant operation has taken just 13 seconds.
For neatness, it can then be tucked under the tailored
hood cover that is colour co- ordinated to the chosen
upholstery colour of your New Beetle Cabriolet.
Beauty needn't affect functionality.
01-04 The multilayered textile hood of the
New Beetle Cabriolet can be opened and
closed both quickly and easily. When closed,
its taut fit is a particularly impressive element
of the car's design, creating an atmosphere
where outside noises can barely be heard.
It even features a glass, heated rear screen.
The choice of fine quality materials and the
highest standards of workmanship help ensure
the hood's exceptional durability - against
abrasion, the weather and even the brushes
of a car wash.

Performance-enhanced beauty.
A galvanised body can be admired for years to come.
With the Volkswagen New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet, quality takes on a new importance. Because with a car that looks so good, you'll want to enjoy its classic design for as long as possible. The complete body of both models is therefore galvanised to protect against corrosion. Moreover, your Volkswagen retailer even gives you a 12-year warranty against rusting through.
The excellent build quality of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet is evident in many other ways, for example, the narrow and uniform gaps between the body panels. Such precision build is possible because of its great body rigidity achieved through special bonding techniques on areas of particular strain. Close fit panels have numerous benefits including reduced wind noise and improved aerodynamics which in turn lead to reduced fuel consumption. Not only is body strength an important safety measure, it's also key to great roadholding.
Impressive build quality is not only seen, it can be heard and felt as well. Like the sound the door makes as it closes or how the refined interior surfaces are pleasant to touch.
The excellent quality also shows in another, crucial field: repair friendliness. The wings and bumpers are made of resilient plastic and bolted to the body. Consequently, some panels can be exchanged in minutes, for example after parking damage.





The epitome of modern day safety.
We know you'll enjoy driving the New Beetle, but we want you to feel totally safe and secure as well. The chassis, for example, is strengthened at important points across the bodywork. Such joints absorb energy, and help to keep the inner protective safety cell intact following a collision. You'll also notice that in the New Beetle Cabriolet there's no rollover bar to obstruct the view of the clear blue sky. You can be assured however that it's there if you need it. At the slightest hint of a roll or impact, rollover bars eject from the rear backrests and together with a reinforced windscreen frame provide exceptional protection to passengers.
In addition to front airbags (passenger's front airbag can be deactivated if
required), the driver and front passenger have the reassurance of side
airbags, an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) for exceptional
roadholding on poor or wet surfaces and front active head restraints which
help lower the risk of whiplash injuries in the event of an accident . The two
eear passengers are protected by three-point seat belts and head restraints .
The car passengers are protected by three point seat belts and head restraints.

monitoring and assessing the driving situation and they are ready to react in milliseconds should the need arise. We believe that prevention

In addition, there is the innovative Isofix child seat mounting system.

The gearbox:
All engines of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are equipped with a five speed
manual gearbox, characterised by a smoothness of operation and powerful acceleration.
Alternatively, with the 2.0 litre engine, you could opt for a six speed automatic tiptronic in
the New Beetle or New Beetle Cabriolet . The innovative automatic tiptronic transmission
gives you the best of both worlds. When you fancy the involvement of a manual, you can
change gear by a simple ‘tipping’ action of the gear lever forwards or backwards. Should
you be faced with city traffic, you can then rely on the automatic function for more relaxed
driving . The automatic tiptronic gearbox even has several mode functions that interpret
your driving style, so should you be accelerating hard it will recognise this and amend the
shift pattern accordingly.

01) The maximum power output figures are quoted in PS (or Pferdestärke, which is the metric equivalent of horsepower). To convert from metric to imperial horsepower, divide the PS figure by 1.0139.
02) Figures are calculated in accordance with manufacturer's criteria. The individual unladen weight depends on the specification of the vehicle, this then reduces the possible payload accordingly.
03) With increasing altitude the engine performance diminishes. From 1,000m above sea level and for every 1,000m thereafter 10% of the vehicle/trailer weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight) must be deducted.
04) Thanks to the knock control, unleaded four star (at least 95 RON) can be used instead of Super plus unleaded.
05) The use of RME and FAME (bio diesel) is not possible.
06) Official fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based on the actual unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications can lead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption figures of this higher weight class. The driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences and vehicle condition can in practice lead to consumption figures, which may differ from those calculated with this standard.

New Beetle


| The Volkswagen Warranty. Three-year Warranty. All Volkswagen New Beetles and New Beetle Cabriolets come with a three-year/60,000 miles warranty, which protects your car against the failure of most mechanical and electrical components due to manufacturing defects. This comprises a two-year manufacturer's warranty with unlimited mileage plus a further one-year/60,000 miles (whichever is soonest) Retailer Warranty. Should the mileage exceed 60,000 miles within the first two years, the manufacturer's two-year warranty will still be valid. If an additional warranty for subsequent years or higher mileage is desired, it may be purchased from an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer; however, this additional warranty must be purchased before the mileage reaches 60,000*. Full details of the three-year warranty are available from your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer. * All warranty work must be completed by an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer. | Service Intervals. Volkswagen are pleased to offer you a choice on how your New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet are serviced. The appropriate selection is entirely dependent on how the car is likely to be driven and its general use. To help you identify which type of service would be most suitable, please refer to the following guide. The Time and Distance Service is recommended for vehicles that will cover less than 10,000 miles in 12 months and if the vehicle is likely to be used in the following way: • Predominantly urban driving, short journeys with frequent cold starts. • Activities regularly producing high engine loading, e.g., frequent hill climbs, driving with vehicle fully loaded and towing. • Uneconomical driving style using high rpms with heavy acceleration and heavy braking. The service intervals for the Time and Distance Service are as follows: • Oil change service Every 10,000 miles/1 year (whichever is soonest). • Interval service Every 20,000 miles/2 years (whichever is soonest). • Interval service inspection Every 40,000 miles/4 years (whichever is soonest). The LongLife Service is recommended for vehicles with a daily mileage of more than 25 miles where the vehicle is driven regularly mainly on longer distance journeys. The vehicle is driven mainly at a constant speed with minimum vehicle and engine loading, minimal towing and driven in an economical manner. With the LongLife Service the vehicle can cover anywhere between 10,000' and a maximum of 20,000' miles or 24 months (whichever is soonest). † Please note that milestones are approximate as the service indicator system uses kilometres as the distance measurement. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for advice and full details. | Extended Warranty. You may purchase additional protection from your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer, or contact 0870 9000 115. Volkswagen Finance‡. Volkswagen Finance specialises in providing funding solutions for Volkswagen drivers. Whether your Volkswagen is for private or business use, you can choose from a range of funding options. • Solutions - a personal contract plan • Hire purchase • Lease purchase • Finance lease • Contract hire With all Volkswagen Finance products you can choose a fixed-cost maintenance plan to help you budget for your servicing and maintenance costs. No matter what finance product you choose, your local Volkswagen retailer will be able to provide you with a personalised quote that could meet your budget and vehicle needs. ‡ Volkswagen Finance is a trading name of Volkswagen Financial Services (UK) Limited. An offer of finance depends on certain conditions. Available to people over 18 in the UK only. | Volkswagen Roadside Assistance. Every new car is registered for Volkswagen Roadside Assistance for one year. This provides vehicle home and roadside recovery in the unlikely event of a breakdown in the UK and Europe (subject to conditions). Volkswagen Roadside Assistance can also be purchased for subsequent years. For full details, please contact your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer. Tax Free Sales. For full details, please contact your authorised Volkswagen retailer. CO2 Emission. Increased weight of a vehicle, including higher trim levels and the addition of options will have a detrimental influence on the level of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions produced. The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are obtained from tests on a representative vehicle of the type, conducted and approved in accordance with Council Directive 80/1268/EEC as amended by Directive 1999/100/EC (or later) on the approximation of the laws of the member states relating to the carbon dioxide emissions and the fuel consumption of motor vehicles. Please Note: Some illustrations in this brochure do not necessarily reflect UK specifications and may not be available. In particular, controls and some items of equipment are positioned differently for the UK. The specifications contained in this brochure are for information purposes only and are subject to change. If you require any specific feature, you must consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer who is regularly updated with any change in specification. Please check model availability and full specification details with your authorised Volkswagen retailer prior to ordering.
