Volkswagen Beetle
At last, the all-new Beetle! This transformation has been a long time coming, as this vehicle has not been updated since its reintroduction in 1998. The 2.5 version comes with a 2.5L 5-cylinder engine that delivers 170 hp, while the 2.0 TSI calls on a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with 200 hp. The new Beetle is available with either a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
