2002 Volkswagen Beetle
A few years back, the nostalgic old Volkswagen Beetle Hatchback was released
once again in an updated, contemporary format that stayed true to the
original design and personality that won the hearts of so many the first
time around. Today's New Beetle still sports the rounded "bug"
shape and quirky delights like a flower vase inside the cabin, yet it
remains a versatile and user-friendly vehicle.
Available Models
A wide array of models are available for 2002 - Volkswagon
Beetle GL 2.0L Hatchback, Beetle GLS 2.0 Hatchback, Beetle GLS TDI Hatchback,
Beetle GLS 1.8T Hatchback, GLX 1.8T Hatchback, and 2002 Volkswagen Beetle
Turbo S Hatchback.
Interior Features
The fun cabin of the New Beetle features standard fare that
includes CFC-free air conditioning, front and rear integrated door armrests,
two rear reading lights, automatic locking feature, and power door locks
for central locking system. The impressive list continues with driver
and front passenger illuminated visor vanity mirrors with sliding covers,
folding rear seat, rearview mirror control pad with joystick control,
and an AM/FM stereo with cassette player and six powerful speakers.
Moving up the ladder, other models add a variety of features like a premium
sound system with CD changer, heated front seats, three-spoke padded leather-wrapped
steering wheel, soft leather upholstery, and power windows.
Exterior Features
Along with a highly distinctive exterior design, the 2002 Volkswagen
Beetle sports plastic front and rear fenders, body color door handles,
body color bumpers, front fog lights (GLS 2.0 and up), center high-mounted
stop lamp, body color mirror housings, and a roof-mounted amplified flexible
black whip antenna. The Beetle Turbo S is equipped with chrome dual exhaust
pipes, and both the Turbo S and GLX 1.8T are equipped with a power glass
sunroof with tilt and slide feature and heated windshield washer nozzles.
Performance
In the performance department, the Beetle GL 2.0L and GLS 2.0L
come with a 2.0-litre turbo-charged four-cylinder engine that produces
115 horsepower and 122 lb-ft of torque. The Beetle GLS TDI sports a 1.9-litre,
turbo-charged direct ignition, four-cylinder engine with an output of
90 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque. Up another level, both the Beetle

four-speed automatic transmission.
The VW Beetle Turbo S Hatchback boasts an impressive 1.8-litre, turbo-charged
four-cylinder engine that cranks out 180 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque.
Pretty good for a cute-looking little car! For added fun and excitement,
the only transmission available on this puppy is a six-speed manual -
great for quick acceleration.
