If you're in the market for a car that's retro-inspired and fun to drive, then a used Volkswagen Beetle is a great choice. With its iconic style and quirky appeal, the Beetle is known for turning heads. It has been around for decades, allowing for lots of customisation and a large amount of options to be found in the used car market.
With so many model years available for the Volkswagen Beetle, there's a long list of available powertrains to choose from. Sticking with the New Beetle only, there are diesel and petrol options, with a manual or an automatic gearbox and standard front-wheel drive.
PetrolThe Volkswagen Beetle is a practical car for front-seat passengers. However, most people purchase the Beetle for its stylish and fun nature rather than for its practicality.
Interior spaceSince 1945, the Volkswagen Beetle had been produced and shipped around the world. Its iconic appearance went mostly unchanged until the New Beetle was unveiled in 1997. After two generations of the new design, Volkswagen decided to pull the plug on production following the 2019 model, making it one of the longest-selling vehicles in history.

Both the 1.2-litre and 1.4-litre TSI petrol engines tend to be the most popular. However, it's not difficult to find the diesel engines either, which offer better fuel efficiency overall.
At the end of production, there were four trim levels offered for both the coupé and convertible: Base, Design, R-Line and Dune. The Design is the most popular with a rear spoiler, front fog lights and 17-inch alloy wheels. Buyers preferred this model because it's a step up from the base in terms of equipment levels, but isn't that much more expensive, so there's a better combination of features and value.
Customers should look out for some extra styling with upgraded wheel designs and a twin-pipe exhaust system. There's also the option for dual-zone climate control to increase comfort, as well as cruise control and parking sensors.
While most people aren't attracted to the Beetle for its ability to carry a family due to its three-door layout, it can be used to do so. The back seat is spacious enough for children and there are ISOFIX points installed to secure child seats. The boot space was increased in the last generation, providing plenty of room for shopping bags.
When the Beetle ceased production in 2019, there had not been a hybrid version. There were only petrol or diesel engines available. Customers who want a hybrid VW car should consider the Golf, Passat or Arteon.
Yes, you can find automatic examples of the Beetle on the used market. Look for "DSG" models, this is the name of the brand's automatic gearbox. The majority of used Volkswagen Beetles have a manual gearbox, which offers more control.
No, Volkswagen did not make a four-wheel drive Beetle. Instead, all models have front-wheel drive, resulting in better fuel efficiency and a reduced cost to buy.
