New Beetle Anniversary Edition.

Drawing on design cues from the original beetle, this contemporary version of the legend is built to attract attention. Taking over where the original beetle left off, the chic, retro-styling of the New Beetle Anniversary Edition announces a compact car that’s better and stronger than ever. Packed with extra features, the New Beetle Anniversary Edition is even more fun to drive, with just a slightly cheekier character.

Under the classically curved bonnet of the New Beetle Anniversary Edition you’ll find a punchy and efficient 1.6 litre, 75kW engine that packs a zippy 148Nm of torque. With the strong and reliable engine you’d expect from Volkswagen, the Anniversary Edition offers you a choice of 5 speed Manual, or 6 speed Tiptronic Auto, for a car that’s perfectly suited to you.

You’ll instantly recognise the New Beetle Anniversary Edition as a car to be seen in. The Campanella White body colour with Black roof and door mirror housings announce a car that loves attention. With an exterior stripe package, dark tinted rear side and rear windows and 17x7” ‘Versus’ alloy wheels with 225/45 R17 tyres, the Anniversary Edition adds strong sporty undertones to the New Beetle’s retro-futurist design - in a car that’s built for fun.

You’ll notice the style of this car’s exterior mirrored throughout its roomy interior: the seats’ black and white leatherette upholstery with white seam stitching in front head restraints, is complimented by the leather steering wheel, gearshift knob and handbrake lever with white stitching. The same stylish look even extends to the white edging of the floor mats and leatherette door trims.

Beneath its retro appearance beats the heart of a thoroughly modern car. Cruise control lets you relax and enjoy the drive, with minimum effort and maximum fuel efficiency. To enhance your driving pleasure, road hugging sports suspension smoothes over all manner of bumps, offering grippy handling through the tightest of corners. Front fog lights employ the latest technology to give you maximum visibility always.

The New Beetle Anniversary Edition manual starts at $27,990 and the New Beetle Anniversary Edition Tiptronic automatic starts at $30,290 (1).
