Volkswagen has announced recommended retail prices for the facelifted New Beetle, which goes on sale in the UK next month.

The restyle of the New Beetle shape coincides with the arrival of Luna models, extra value entry-level variants for both the hatchback and the Cabriolet.

The range starts with the 1.4-litre Luna hatchback at £11,245, moving up through the 1.6-litre Luna, 1.9-litre TDI, 2.0-litre (with manual or automatic transmission), and finishing with the range-topping 1.8T at £15,720. The Cabriolet mirrors the engine range of the hatchback, with a price range of £13,995 for the 1.4-litre Luna to £19,110 for the 1.8T.

The Luna variants replace the previous 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre models, and now features 16-inch Houston alloy wheels, in addition to standard specification which includes ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) with ABS; driver’s, front passenger’s and front seat side airbags with active front seat head restraints; radio/CD player; electric windows; plus remote central locking with alarm and interior protection.

In addition, a new range of colours and alloy wheels will be available at launch, complemented by new fabrics for the interior.

Order books for the New Beetle are open now.
