Three round gauges are arranged in front of the driver (tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge), providing all key information at a glance. A multifunction display is integrated in the speedometer, which is housed in the central position in the binnacle. The steering wheel is specially designed with optional painted accents in the spokes depending on the equipment line.

The 2012 VW Beetle is not a car for a tall family. A 6-foot tall dad and his 5'8" tall son are not going to sit back-to-back comfortably.

The Beetle comes standard with the RCD 310 sound system with eight speakers; an optional Premium VIII audio system features a CD changer, interface for SD cards, a touchscreen, and a navigation system. For the first time ever, navigation will be offered in the Beetle, with the RNS 315 featuring a five-inch touchscreen, CD player, and SD card slot. The Beetle will also offer concert-quality sound with an available Fender Premium Audio System, designed exclusively for Volkswagen.

For the first time, the Beetle will be offered with Bi-xenon headlights. These will be available on future Beetle models, framing the xenon module on the outer perimeters of the headlights and serving as the daytime running lights and parking lights.

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is the redesigned iteration of the classic Beetle. Simply put, Volkswagen has nailed the new design and created a car that either gender could feel happy driving.
