Volkswagen is presenting the new Beetle Dune in its world premiere at the Los Angeles Motor Show. The crossover model is characterised by an eye-catching design with numerous off-road accents, large 18-inch wheels and a higher ride height. The Beetle Dune is making its debut as both a coupe and convertible.

The new Beetle Dune is a completely redesigned model, its powerful character emphasised by a large central air inlet. In side profile, the black wheel well and body add-on extensions are eye-catching in conjunction with the lighter body colours. In addition, black side trim strips and the 'Dune' badge underscore the dynamic image of the latest Beetle model. Three new elements define the rear of the Beetle Dune; along with a large rear spoiler and newly designed bumper, the new LED rear lights create a futuristic night design.

The trendy overall impression continues into the interior. Prominent elements include the dash pad painted in body colour, extensive contrasting stitching on the sport seats, leather-trimmed steering wheel and parking brake grip. In contrast, areas of the seat system, door trim panels, roof pillars and headlining are finished in black.

In Europe, the new Beetle Dune is available with three turbocharged petrol engines and two turbodiesels.
