What is the Volkswagen Beetle's top speed?
I’ve always wanted a Volkswagen Beetle, but models from the 60s and 70s are either super expensive or rusted out. As a result, I’ve decided to buy one from the last generation. I just want to make sure it has a bit of power. What is the top speed of the Volkswagen Beetle?

If you decide to go with the last generation, the
Volkswagen Beetle
has a top speed of 120 mph. With a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 174 mph and 184 pound-feet of torque, this compact beauty also manages a 0-60 mph time of right around eight seconds. It also includes a smooth-shifting, six-speed automatic transmission.Following the
Volkswagen New Beetle
, the final generation of the Volkswagen Beetle was produced from 2012 to 2019. Unlike the more cartoonish New Beetle, the Beetle reintroduced the iconic 1960s-era looks but with modern interior and exterior features. Plus, it offers 33 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg in the city, giving you top-notch fuel economy.If you decide to purchase a last-generation Volkswagen Beetle, you’re doing more than buying a car.
