Volkswagen New Beetle
The Volkswagen New Beetle is a compact car introduced by Volkswagen in 1998, drawing heavy inspiration from the exterior design of the original Volkswagen Beetle. Unlike the original Beetle, the New Beetle has its engine in the front driving the front wheels, with luggage storage in the rear. It received a facelift in 2005 and was in production until 2011, nearly fourteen years since its introduction. In the 2012 model year, a new Beetle model, the Beetle (A5), replaced the New Beetle. Various versions of this model continued to be produced in Puebla, Mexico, until the final car left the assembly line on 10 July 2019.
