Dealer Comments

The 2018 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0T SE in Deep Black Pearl Metallic with a distinctive Beige roof and a Ceramique and Black interior offers a modern take on an iconic design, blending classic character with contemporary performance and comfort. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0 liter engine driving the front wheels, this Beetle delivers lively acceleration and a smooth, confident driving experience that makes it just as enjoyable around town as it is on the open road. Its compact footprint and responsive handling add to its everyday practicality while preserving the fun personality the Beetle is known for.

The exterior stands out with timeless curves accented by Bi Xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, and LED rear license plate lighting that enhance both visibility and style. Fully automatic headlights, front fog lights, rain sensing wipers, and speed sensitive wipers provide added confidence in changing conditions. The 18 inch alloy wheels give the Beetle a sportier stance, while rear parking sensors and a rearview camera make maneuvering and parking simple and stress free.

Inside, the cabin feels both stylish and comfortable with Ceramique and Black perforated V Tex leatherette seating surfaces, heated front comfort seats, and dual zone automatic climate control. The thoughtfully designed interior offers a pleasant driving environment with quality materials and intuitive controls. The auto dimming rearview mirror, heated door mirrors, and leather wrapped steering wheel with mounted audio controls contribute to a refined and driver focused feel.

Technology and convenience are well covered with Bluetooth® connectivity, USB and AUX inputs, SiriusXM radio, and a touchscreen audio system that keeps entertainment and information easily accessible. The SE Premium Package adds further value with enhanced features designed to elevate comfort and everyday usability. Remote keyless entry, a panic alarm, and a security system provide peace of mind whether you are at home or on the road.
