What's New For the 2019 Volkswagen Beetle Final Edition?

The iconic Beetle is saying goodbye. Volkswagen revealed the final edition of its treasured franchise in Mexico. This is the last time we'll ever see the Bug manufactured, and the Final Edition features two new trim options and is based off the 2011 New Beetle model.

While it's strange to imagine Volkswagen without thinking of the history-making Beetle, the Final Edition presents old fans and newcomers alike with an opportunity to invest in the model that put the company on the map. Although the Final Edition might not be the major sendoff everyone expected from such an innovative and influential car, it still offers plenty of features and a strong design that make it worthwhile.

Fans of VW Bug can bid auf wiedersehen to the classic car with this stylish end to a legacy.

2019 Volkswagen Beetle Final Edition Trims & Features

There are two versions of the final edition - the SE and SEL - that are available as either a couple or convertible.

Each model can be purchased in one of five colors, including two new exclusive shades that were designed for the Final Edition. Fans of more simplistic, classic designs can choose from Pure White, Deep Black Pearl, or Platinum Grey, while those who wish to truly embrace the newness of the Final Edition can choose to buy it in one of the two new colors: Aquarius Blue and Safari Uni.

The 2019 Final Edition doesn't differ greatly from the 2018 model, but it has a nice combination of features and touches that give the Beetle its unmistakable charm. True to the year of its release, there's plenty of high-end tech for drivers to enjoy including a Fender premium audio system, 6.3-inch navigation touchscreen with Bluetooth capability.

Nappa leather seats, diamond-stitched upholstery and a vintage-inspired 18-inch wheels give the vehicle a timeless feel along with the signature Beetle badge on the rear deck.

2019 Volkswagen Beetle Final Edition Horsepower

Each 2019 Beetle plays testament to its original surprising power with a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The Final Edition packs the aggressive hardware fans of VW know and love and is capable of smooth acceleration and navigation, far more than most would expect for the "cute" car.

2019 Volkswagen Beetle Final Edition Safety

All models of the 2019 Final Edition will sport up-to-date driver-assistance technology. SE models will feature Blind Spot Monitor Rear Traffic Alert, and the SEL goes a step further with the addition Park Distance Control for the car's front and rear. Push-to-start technology and keyless entry via KESSY make operating the Final Edition effortless.
