2010 Volkswagen Beetle

The 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle holds true to its predecessor the Volkswagen Classic Beetle with its cute compact design, but adds a new twist to vintage ideas.  The front-wheel-drive Volkswagen New Beetle is available as a two-door hatchback or a two-door convertible with a power folding roof as standard equipment. A 2.5L 150 horsepower 5 cylinder engine powers the 2010 VW Beetle giving it a respectable 20/29 MPG rating.  With standard features like antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side-impact airbags and active front head restraints the 2010 VW Beetle maybe small but it does not skimp on safety, receiving good ratings from the IIHS.  Come check out the 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle at Performance Volkswagen of Omaha.




No vehicle is more iconic or enduring than the Volkswagen Beetle. First brought to the people back in 1938, 'the little car that could' soon motored all over the world and became the longest-running and most-produced automobile of a single design. In America, the Beetle did everything from winning the Baja 500, to winning the hearts of Americans in every walk of life. This journey is far from over, as the New Beetle brings the fun and fashion of an iconic shape, and combines it with the latest in German-tuned engineering and European styling. So hop in, buckle up, and take off. The world is waiting.

Fun to look at. Even more fun to drive. That's the best way to describe the New Beetle.  A German-engineered 2.5L, 5-cylinder, DOHC gasoline engine delivers 150hp, 170lbs-ft of torque, and unlimited good times when you hit the pedal. It also delivers 20 city/29 highway mpg (20 city/28 highway mpg for the Convertible).* In addition, the vehicle has an optional partial-zero emissions certification. Paired up with this unbeatable engine is our beloved Tiptronic® automatic transmission. It's an automatic that you can drive like a sporty manual. Pair that pairing with the standard Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP), and your new best friend zigs, zags, and puts a smile on your face.
And speaking of fun, don't even get us started on the New Beetle Convertible.  It's iconic. It's a ragtop. It's ridiculously fun.

From a historic past to a bright tomorrow, the New Beetle comes at you with a big smile and loads of innovative features. Start down the road with the New Beetle's elliptical headlights, semi-transparent taillights, and an unforgettable body design. Once inside, you'll notice an inordinate amount of room, with comfortable seating for 4 adults. We mean truly comfortable, not, "Okay, I guess I can sit here for
a while until my legs fall asleep," comfortable. You'll also find innovations like the armrest storage compartment, an AUX-in jack, and even a rear-seat pass-through on the Convertible. And you'll take some of that innovation and fun with you, in the form of your New Beetle's key. It opens doors and windows, has a panic button, and even has the sophisticatedly cool switchblade key.

In a sound laboratory in Germany, the heart and soul of the New Beetle's entertainment system was born. The finest electronics and ingenuity combine to create the kind of system that audiophiles dream about. An MP3 compatible, in-dash CD with a 6-speaker stereo system and SIRIUS® Satellite Radio is the core of the New Beetle system. Also standard is the simple pleasure of an AUX-in jack to plug in any MP3 player.* Choose the New Beetle Convertible, and audio lovers take the next technological step up with
a 10-speaker stereo system. More speakers, more power, and more boom-boom.  With over 130 channels, SIRIUS Satellite Radio brings you more of what you love.  Get 69 channels of 100% commercial-free music, plus all your favorite sports, news, talk, and entertainment. Everything worth listening to is now on SIRIUS.

The New Beetle comes standard with 40 safety features we call the Prevent and Preserve Safety System. The features work in harmony to both help you avoid a crash, and protect you if a crash is unavoidable. And we are constantly updating it, because when it comes to safety, there's always room for improvement.

From the very first time you take a seat in the New Beetle, you feel welcome. Maybe it's the roomy dome-shaped interior, ample passenger room, and flip-down rear seats. Maybe it's the exterior color trim panels that match perfectly with the interior colors and textures. Maybe it's the bud vase/lollipop holder/inspiration pod that's comfortably tucked into the dash, the red and blue cockpit illumination, or the heatable seats. The fact is, when our German engineers do their thing on a German interior, the results are pure Volkswagen.

To drive and thrive in a New Beetle, you have to be a unique kind of person.  Here's where you can push that to the maximum. The Autobahn-bred brother of the New Beetle is the GTI, who's been nice enough to offer its optional Goal wheels set to increase your sport factor. You can also upgrade to R-line pedal caps so your feet have as much fun as you do. Downforce, aerodynamics, and style are the inspiration for your choice of a topmounted roof spoiler or mid-mounted hatch spoiler. You can lock down your convertible roof and make your auto's appearance a little more sleek with a color-coordinated boot cover. Factory cargo organizers help, you know, organize your cargo. Add a base rack system to carry everything from bikes to skis to kayaks to who-knows-what, and your New Beetle just became a sherpa.

The Carbon Neutral Project is a partnership with Carbonfund.org, designed to start addressing the issue of carbon emissions. With their help, we'll be making it easy for anyone who owns a Volkswagen to determine their vehicle's carbon output and take action towards offsetting it.  So far, the VW community has planted over 300,000 trees and offset 419,343 tons of carbon.  And that's just the beginning.
