The Volkswagen Beetle 2017 is a retro-styled hatchback. It is stylish, functional, and very fun and easy to drive!

Pros and Features. The two-door hatchback has a very stylish interior design. In addition, its engines offer a great mix of power and fuel economy. The Beetle is also very comfortable and has a good brake. The interior is also bright and airy due to its large windows.

Cons. The Beetle is more expensive than most of its competitors. It is also impractically outlandish compared to conventional compact hatchbacks.

What's New? The 2017 Beetle receives a styling update for its front and rear bumpers. There is also a new limited edition #PinkBeetle. The trim levels have also been simplified for this year.

Models. The Volkswagen Beetle 2017 is available in seven different models: 1.8T S, 1.8T Classic, 1.8 SE, a limited edition 1.8 #PinkBeetle, 1.8T Dune, 1.8 SEL, and 2.0T R-Line SEL. All of the 1.8 models are equipped with a turbocharged 1.8-liter four cylinder engine. This is capable of 170 horsepower and 184 lb-feet of torque.

The 1.8T S includes 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, cruise control, and other tech features. The 1.8T Classic adds 17-inch wheels and other comfort features but loses the automatic headlights.

The 1.8T SE is a favorite of many. It has automatic headlights and keyless entry and ignition. It also has nice upholstery and color adjustable ambient interior lighting for a very retro effect.

The limited edition #PinkBeetle is very similar to the 1.8 SE except it's in a metallic fuchsia color. It also has xenon headlights LED running and taillights. In addition, it has a unique plaid upholstery.

The 1.8 SEL has 18-inch wheels and adds a sunroof. It also has other safety and tech features. The 2.0T R-Line SEL has the same features as the 1.8T SEL but adds 20-inch wheels and other tech and comfort features.

Verdict. The Volkswagen Beetle 2017 is a beautiful hatchback that has a fun and funky look. While it is not as iconic as the original VW Bug, its new and futuristic take on it is well-appreciated but Volkswagen fans. The #PinkBeetle is also one model that is unique and exciting all on its own!
