Volkswagen New Beetle (1998-2010)

In 1998, Volkswagen resurrected the famous "beetle" in a new form, calling it the New Beetle (1998-2005). The model has a very original appearance and successfully imitates the shape of the once popular car. The German concern did not strive for originality in technical matters and built the Volkswagen New Beetle on the platform of the well-known and time-tested fourth-generation Golf.

As befits a modern car, this model has a front-mounted engine and front-wheel drive. Inside, only proven components used previously in the models of the VW concern are used. This approach guaranteed a high level of reliability, as well as easy access to original spare parts and their replacements. As a result, the maintenance of the car, although somewhat exotic (made in Mexico), does not cause any trouble and does not require high costs.

However, the model itself in the secondary market is not cheap, as it does not belong to the category of budget cars. However, when buying a Volkswagen New Beetle, the owner gets, first of all, a cute, original and well-designed car with a pleasant interior, excellent driving characteristics and engines that provide good dynamics.

 

Salon, especially at the rear and trunk (210 liters) are terribly small. But in this car, practicality is not as important as aesthetics. You just have to come to terms with this.

Engine

Volkswagen New Beetle entered the market in 1998 with a modest range of engines: a 2-liter gasoline unit with 115 hp. and turbodiesel 1.9 TDI 90 hp In 1999, the range of gasoline units expanded - engines with a working volume of 1.6 liters (100 hp) and 1.8 Turbo (150 hp) appeared. A year later, three more gasoline engines got under the hood of the New Beetle - 1.6 liters with a capacity of 102 hp, 2.3 liters with 170 hp. and 3.2 l 225 hp - for the sports version of the RSi with 4Motion all-wheel drive. At the same time, a new 1.9 TDI turbodiesel with a capacity of 100 hp was proposed. with injector pumps.

 

In 2001, 1.4 liter (75 hp) and 1.8 Turbo (180 hp) petrol engines appeared. In 2005, 2.5 liters - 150 hp joined the gasoline group. and a 105-horsepower 1.9 TDI turbodiesel (with unit injectors). For an ordinary car owner, power units with a working volume of 2.0 liters, 1.6 liters and 1.9 TDI with a capacity of 100 and 105 hp are preferred. Engines 1.4 l and 1.9 TDI with a power of 90 hp can be recommended to calm and very economical drivers. In turn, stronger gasoline engines are a good offer for those who prefer to have high dynamics, but are ready to incur significant maintenance and repair costs.
