After a long wait, Volkswagen Beetle is back in the news and this time, the company might surprise car enthusiasts with the changes it brings with this model. As per reports doing rounds over internet, this stunning car is most likely to enter the Indian car market by this year end. Already several units of this model have been imported in the country and this is an indication that it may be launched very soon. Most probably, it will be introduced through the completely built unit (CBU) channel. When launched, it may compete with MINI Cooper, Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione and a few others in this segment. This car might come with a few enhancements in terms of features yet, it sticks to the same classy styling that is reminiscent to the original one. In comparison to the outgoing version, it may be more sportier and muscular. It is said that the car's length is slightly increased, and it will also be lower as well as wider in terms of dimensions.

On the other hand, this upcoming car may be powered by a 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine that is currently doing duty in the Jetta sedan. It is likely to be more fuel efficient and generates nearly 120bhp power in combination with 200Nm torque. According to the sources, it will be introduced without diesel engine option and one can expect for it only in coming days.
The bug shape of this hatchback is what makes it unique compared to various other models running in the market today.
