Volkswagen decided to improve the engine range of the new Beetle in the United Kingdom. Firstly, British buyers will be able to order the model with a new 1.2-liter TSI petrol unit offering 104 horsepower which comes together with a six-speed manual gearbox.

The new petrol engine will be offered with the base and Design trim levels. A larger 1.6-liter TDI diesel power plant also joins the range and promises good fuel consumption figures mainly due to the BlueMotion Technology.
