Volkswagen Beetle Classic Model Hits U.S. Markets!

At the end of last month, Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced that a limited-edition 2015 Volkswagen Beetle Classic model was going to hit markets during the month of October. Calling on its iconic past, the new model enhances the classic VW Beetle value while also adding a slew of new features. Keep reading to learn more!

The 1.8T Coupe Classic trim comes powered by a 1.8 turbocharged and direct-injection TSI four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower and 177 pound-foot of torque. It comes paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. The EPA estimates that the 1.8T Coupe Classic trim will average 33 mpg on the highway.

The Classic trim features 17-inch “Heritage” aluminum-alloy wheels to go along with a rear spoiler, and three possible exterior color options: Pure White, Black Uni, and Reflex Silver. The understated exterior goes along with the understate retro interior. But don’t imagine that understated takes away from the modern amenities because it does not! Inside the car drivers will find a leather-wrapped shift knob and e-brake level, two-tone brown “Sioux” leatherette and checked cloth seating surfaces, and comfort front seats with driver lumbar support. Drivers are also sure to appreciate the LCD touchscreen, RNS 315 navigation, and the access to Sirius XM Satellite Radio.
