2019 Volkswagen Beetle Review

Well, this is indeed a bittersweet moment. The 2019 Volkswagen Beetle is the last-ever VW Beetle rolling off the Volkswagen production lines. However, this car is going out with a bang in Warwick, Providence, and Coventry.

You’ll find the latest (and last) edition of the Volkswagen Beetle right here at Speedcraft Volkswagen. Our dealership is proud to serve VW drivers looking for a car that has been known for its sportiness, pep, and unique design. Let’s take a closer look at what it has to offer.

2019 Volkswagen Beetle Performance

You’ll feel the power of the turbocharged engine from the moment you press down on the accelerator. The standard engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, which features Sport mode to give you a more energetic feel when heading around corners and tackling the highway. Using the Tiptronic® mode, you’re also able to shift manually if you want to take control.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine strikes the right balance of performance and practicality. It makes the car fun to drive, but it’s also practical, receiving an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city/33 MPG highway.¹ The engine delivers 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, giving it a sporty feel while also producing just the right amount of power.

VW Safety Features

Every drive is different, and it can be hard to predict what’s ahead. However, Volkswagen has engineered the VW Beetle to be ready for anything.

Available safety features include:

• Blind Spot Monitor: The sensors can pick up on other vehicles, and if you’re changing lanes, you’ll receive a warning if it’s unsafe to do so.
• Rear Traffic Alert: When backing up, the sensors can alert you to vehicles crossing by in your path.
• Park Distance Control: Audible signals and the optical parking system let you know how much space you have when parking, so you’re able to navigate in and out of spots safely.

In the event of an accident, the Intelligent Crash Response System will deploy the airbags and unlock the doors while activating the hazard lights, reacting if you’re unable to.
