More than just a pretty face, the New Beetle’s front end is home to some pretty aggressive technology. A powerful (and surprisingly efficient) engine is ready to deliver a driving experience that dares to paste a smile right smack in the middle of your soul. Innovative Tiptronic® technology offers an automatic transmission with the feel of a manual – when you want it. Advanced stabilization technology makes sure you’re going where you want to go. And that’s just the beginning. But then again, isn’t everything? |

Safety |
| Safe Happens. |

We were feeling daring too, you know. Like when we dared ourselves to design a car that would help keep you feeling super safe. In a collision, the circular curves of the car allow even force distribution throughout the reinforced body panels. And the bumpers crush to help absorb energy, giving other safety devices, like airbags and safety belts, more time to slow the driver’s body down. All of which means you can dare to be happy for a good long time. |

| A rigid cell of reinforced, high-strength steel is built into every Volkswagen, helping to ensure maximum protection. Laser-welding helps hold rigid pillars and pillar attachments in place, while anti-intrusion side door beams add to the cabin’s already sturdy construction. |
 |
| |
FRONT CRUSH ZONE
Helps to divert impact energy away from occupants in the event of a collision. |
|
ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM
Scares away uninvited guests. (Otherwise known as not-so-good guys.) |
| |
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
For improved daytime visibility, turn the key and on they come. |
| |
4-WHEEL ABS
An onboard control unit designed to prevent wheel lock-up, for enhanced control in all driving conditions. |
| |
IMMOBILIZER
Prevents the New Beetle from being started up if an unauthorized key is used. |
| |

For better handling and control. (Why skid if you don’t have to?) |

2.5L 5-Cylinder
The New Beetle’s innovative 2.5L, 5-cylinder engine delivers a smooth, yet powerful, ride. It’s heavy on torque, light on noise. Packing in 4 valves per cylinder makes it super-efficient. And it also uses chain driven cams instead of belt driven cams, requiring less maintenance. (Just the way New Beetle drivers like it.) |
