Order books opening for Volkswagen's new Beetle Dune

Engineered and styled to pay tribute to the 'Baja Bug' modified Volkswagen Beetles of the past, the new Beetle Dune is designed to offer a vibrant new dimension to the existing Beetle lineup.

Available to order from 5^th April through the Volkswagen U.K. Retailer network, the Beetle Dune's rugged looks are enhanced via 18-inch 'Mythos' alloy wheels, front and rear wheel arch extensions and bold new bumper designs.

Beetle Dune customers have a choice of Coupe or Cabriolet versions and deliveries of both will begin in June, while a selection of five body colours complement the car's eye-catching styling. The Sandstorm Yellow metallic and Dark Bronze metallic paint colours, in particular, have been developed exclusively for the Beetle Dune. 

The generously equipped new Beetle Dune is based on the existing Beetle's Design trim level, which means a comprehensive selection of technology and creature comforts as standard. Among the highlights is the Composition Media system, which includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth telephone connection, DAB digital radio receiver, dash-mounted single CD player, MDI (Multi Device Interface) via USB connection, SMS messaging functionality and eight speakers. Standard technology also includes a Light and Sight pack comprising auto dimming rear-view mirror, automatic headlights and rain sensing wipers, while convenience is enhanced by ultrasonic parking sensors front and rear.
