This Volkswagen brand icon, the star attraction of the show, made its debut in the country with the 1.2TSI and a host of new features.The Beetle looks more athletic now as it sports a bolder, more dynamic and masculine stance.
The car is lower and considerably wider. The hood is also longer and the recessed windshield much steeper. All this leads to a new dynamic design, a better appearance and muscular tension.The car is 1,808mm wide (84mm wider than the model it replaces), 1,486mm tall (12mm lower) and 4,278mm long (152mm longer). In parallel, the development team has increased the car’s track widths (front: 1,578mm, 63mm wider; rear: 1,544mm, 49mm wider) and wheelbase (2,537mm; + 22mm). In comparison with the model it replaces, the New Beetle, the new car is significantly bigger and wider. There is additional headroom and legroom while the boot space is bigger.
Inside, the dashboard has been given a unique touch. It has the form and colour of the front facia painted in body colour, which makes an instant visual connection, to the original Beetle, and yet looks evolved and modern.
Priced from RM139,888, it gets a 1.2-litre turbocharged engine and seven-speed dual clutch transmission combination that promises brisk performance and fuel economy.
The car is available in Candy White, Tornado Red, Saturn Yellow, Reflex Silver, Deep Black, Platinum Grey and Graciosa Brown.
