Vehicle Summary

After a long run in its current form, Volkswagen has redesigned its Beetle for the 2012 model year. Sporting more retro cues than its predecessor, the Beetle can have either of two gas engines or a diesel engine, the latter of which gets an estimated 40 mpg on the highway. Competitors include retro hatchbacks like the Mini Cooper and Fiat 500. The 2012 Beetle arrives in dealerships this fall.
