The Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Reflects Inspired Design and Technology

Feb. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Auto Haus VW in Winnipeg (http://blog.autohausvolkswagen.com/winnipeg-vw-dealer/) is excited to announce the arrival of the new 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible to their dealership at 660 Pembina Highway. The latest Beetle design reveals a lower, wider stance for a more athletic look while still maintaining the classic feel that buyers expect. Also new this year is a soft-top option on the convertible in addition to the already popular hard top. The passenger experience continues to impress with more cabin and cargo space than ever as well as a list of high-tech standard and optional features.

The cabin experience of the Beetle Convertible (http://www.autohausvw.com/beetle_convertible/default.aspx?lng=2) is upgraded this year with a noticeable improvement in passenger space. 187 mm longer and 84 mm wider than the previous model, the new Beetle refuses to sacrifice comfort for style. Cargo capacity is up as well, from 141 L in the last generation to 201 L of versatile cargo space in 2013. Buyers of the 2013 VW Beetle Convertible won’t have to worry about losing space when they drop the top down—which takes about 9 seconds and can be done while driving—since the top folds away, not obstructing any space for passengers or cargo.

Available in both Comfortline and Highline trims, the new Beetle also includes a long list of standard and optional features. The base Comfortline trim is competitively equipped with a host of standard features, including:

• Leather-wrapped steering wheel, handbrake lever, and shift knob
• Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity with voice activation
• Cruise control with active display
• MP3 compatible audio system with 8 speakers
• Two 12V auxiliary power outlets
• Auxiliary input

For drivers looking for even more from their cabin experience, the Highline trim and Technology Package include full leather upholstery, a multifunction trip computer, a Media Device Interface (MDI) with iPod connectivity, and a combi-instrument with chrome rings.

In terms of power, the new Beetle Convertible is back this year with a 2.5L 170 hp 5-cylinder powertrain as well as a swift turbocharged 2.0L 200 hp 4-cylinder for those looking for a little more speed.

Expected to be a popular model this year, the 2013 VW Beetle Convertible is starting at a price tag of $28,775. Test drives and financing of the new model are available now at Auto Haus VW, located at 660 Pembina Highway in Winnipeg.
