The 2019 Beetle is the last in a long lines of automotive icons. Despite its popularity, the car is not going to be in production much longer. That has many enthusiasts eager to own one of the final editions. You can find them now at J Bertolet Volkswagen dealer Reading PA.
Beetles have always made a statement. Some call it charming. Others call it cute. No one can deny it is a fun way to travel. There’s even a convertible edition for those who want an open air ride.
Owners love the utility of these small cars. At 15.4 cubic feet, the Beetle trunk is bigger than some midsize sedans. Furthermore, the wide opening helps with loading. A split-fold rear seat lets the owner claim up to 29.9 cubic feet of space.
All 2019 Volkswagen Beetles have heated seats and heated washer nozzles, making them a good pick for our winter weather. A leather-wrapped steering wheel has multiple functions for your entertainment, cruise control, and phone use. SE models have a rich leatherette upholstery.
Instead of the 5-inch touch display, SE trims come with the larger Composition Media 6.3-inch touch screen. MirrorLink, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay help you do more with your smart devices. Useful standards include HD radio, a USB port, and hands-free texting.
The Final Edition SE trim combines leatherette and rhombus-pattern cloth upholstery. Adding a dash of nostalgia, a traditional Beetle bin has two sections. The upper one has a cover that lifts up while the other opens downward. KESSY keyless access provides push-button start. There are many fun details such as a gloss-black center console, a unique Safari dashpad and three-color ambient lighting.
Final Edition SEL models replace the standard comfort seats with sport chairs. These are covered in leather upholstery that is dressed up with diamond stitching. The dash is upgraded with a Discover Media navigation touch screen.
The automaker has added value by making driver assistance equipment standard on every 2019 VW Beetle. Watching side traffic, a blind spot monitor notifies the driver about neighboring vehicles. When in reverse, the driver is aided by a rear traffic alert that can spot incoming traffic. Of course, a rearview camera is standard.
Regardless of model, the VW Beetle has a reliable 2-liter TSI engine. Output is 174 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That’s considerable push for a car this size. An automatic transmission is standard, allowing this car to earn 33 miles per gallon on the highway. Combined fuel economy is 29 miles per gallon.
Shoppers will appreciate that the whole car is covered by a bumper-to-bumper six-year or 72,000-mile warranty. This limited warranty offers more years and more miles than the competition.
