Limited edition Beetle launched
Volkswagen has refined the new Beetle's design, engineering, and technology. For the South African market, the car manufacturer is launching a limited edition Beetle R-Line model with only 50 units available to participating Volkswagen dealerships.
Available for the Beetle R-Line is a four-cylinder engine that features added power thanks to turbocharging. The TSI engine has an output rating of 110 kW and offers a maximum torque of 250Nm (between 1,500 and 3,500rpm). Fuel consumption on the new Beetle R-Line is 5.7litres/100km.
The car has ten key standard-specification details namely; 18-inch 'Ravenna' alloy wheels, distinctive sporty exterior styling elements, Bi-Xenon headlights with LED tail lights, composition media with app-connect, ambient lighting, black painted dashpad, exclusive R-line interior sport seats, pedals in brushed stainless steel, leather steering wheel with gloss black inserts and R-Line logo and climatronic two-zone air conditioning.
The central air inlet has been made larger and framing it now in the vehicle body colour are bars that strive outwards in an A-shape, making the Beetle appear wider and sturdier. On both the left and right outer edges of the bumper a black trim element emphasises the width.
The car features include a 6.5-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, USB interface as well as app-connect (only Apple CarPlay compatible). The optional 'Fender' premium soundpack has a 400-watt output from the eight speakers and subwoofer. The visual experience is created with ambient illumination around the speakers, door panels, lighting strip under the door trim, and the LEDs on the loudspeaker ring.
The limited edition Beetle comes with three paint finishes to choose from: Pure White, Tornado Red and the new White Silver Metallic, with the Black varnished roof as an option. In addition to paint finishes, an extra three options are available to personalise the R-Line; Panoramic sunroof, Fender sound system and Technology Package.
