The next Beetle will share its inner structure with the future Golf VI and will be slightly longer and wider than the current model. The technical side will be performed in Germany while design will be realized in California in order to catch the latest trends.
The three door and the convertible variants will be re-conducted. It is also rumoured that the next -generation Beetle will be available as SUV model. Will it be the return of the Kübelwagen?
