Volkswagen revisits fan favorite with the launch of the 2016 Beetle Denim

  • Exclusive short-run model, arriving in dealerships in early 2016
  • Equipped with 17-inch Heritage wheels and 1.8-liter TSI® engine
  • Original interior design, including unique seating surfaces and  jeans-inspired seat pockets

Volkswagen of America Inc. announced today the launch of the special edition 2016 #beetledenim. Paying homage to the 1970s Jeans Bug, the vehicle revives the rich heritage of the #beetle brand, offering fans a modern take on this classic model.

As a special edition vehicle, exclusive design elements have been added to the 2,000 production units. The 2016 #beetledenim is offered in two exterior color options—Pure White or Stonewashed Blue. The production run will be split equally between the two colors. The convertible top has been finished in Dark Blue with a brand new textured fabric that resembles denim.

Interior design features include a unique light-blue-and-silver dashpad and jeans-inspired seat pockets with small #beetle tabs in red.  The light blue denim-color cloth seating surfaces also feature white piping and dark blue leatherette accents.

For model year 2016, the vehicle is equipped with Volkswagen’s new MIB II infotainment system, which offers higher resolution, faster processing speeds, and crisper graphics than ever before. A 5.0-inch resistive touchscreen display comes with a host of standard features including AUX-in, SD card slots, and a USB multimedia interface with iPhone® and iPod® device connectivity, reverse camera display, and Bluetooth® technology for compatible devices.

Available in the United States with a 1.8-liter turbocharged and direct-injection TSI® engine and a six-speed automatic transmission, the #beetledenim produces 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The 2016 #beetledenim will be a value model in the Convertible lineup.
