About the Volkswagen NEW Beetle

The Volkswagen New Beetle is a compact car introduced by Volkswagen in 1998, drawing heavy inspiration from the exterior design of the original Volkswagen Beetle.

It received a facelift in 2005 and was in production until 2011, nearly fourteen years since its introduction.
