“365 Days of Sunshine: The iconic Beetle Cabriolet lands in the Middle East”
Combining fun, comfort and a dynamic drive, the Beetle Cabriolet lands in the Middle East! Retaining it’s classic Beetle shape while enhancing the iconic design, the new convertible now comes with an elongated, wider appearance and a flatter roof, giving the model a more dynamic and sporty appearance.
The soft-top features a fully automatic, sweeping soft-top hood, which can be closed in just 9.5 seconds, with minimal noise – even while the vehicle is moving (up to 50 km/h). It will be available in two colors – Nutria Beige and Black Canvas. The new Beetle Cabriolet even boasts a classic Fender sound system – with 400 watts of pure power, a digital 10-channel amplifier, nine speakers and a subwoofer to produce the exclusive Fender sound – and ample space, with the four-seater model offering a boot capacity of an impressive 225 liters.
The Beetle Cabriolet can be distinguished by its stylish black exterior trims including air intake grills, door handles and protective side trim. The side indicator lights have been integrated into the painted exterior rear-view mirror housings, with the rear spoiler a standard feature, and 18-inch light alloy “Twister” wheels.
The Cabriolet is available in three trim levels – SE, SEL, and ‘Exclusive’.
The SEL trim level is available with an impressive range of additional features including keyless entry, “Vienna” leather sports seats front, navigation system with Discover Media and striking 19-inch “Tornado” alloy wheels.
The next trim level, aptly named ‘Exclusive’, features stylish interior details including “Beetle Exclusive” leather for the driver and front passenger sports seats, a leather seat mid-section and sides; and carpet floor mats with colorful edging in both the front and rear. The “Exclusive” trim also features scuff plates in door apertures and is equipped with 20-inch “Monterey” alloy wheels.
