Road Test: 2012 Volkswagen Beetle
For the most part, the answer is yes, just not outstanding — starting with the powertrain. While a turbocharged four-cylinder is also available for the 2012 Beetle (the four-cylinder TDI turbodiesel will be offered for the 2013 model year), the base engine remains the 2.5-litre five-cylinder, the same as in the Golf and Jetta. It’s essentially a carryover from the New Beetle, but fortified with 20 more horsepower for a total of 170. The motor is coupled with either a five-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed Tiptronic manumatic with a centre console-located shifter. Somewhat annoying is the gruff note to the 2.5L under power, although it smoothes out when it’s cruising. Whether that’s a function of its odd number of cylinders or something else, it’s a bit of a letdown.
So is the engine’s performance. Considering the four-seater Beetle tips the scales at a fairly trim 1,353 kilograms, decent if not scintillating performance might be expected. Yet it takes 10.5 seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometres an hour, which is OK for a small car but nothing extraordinary. At 7.3 seconds, the same goes for the 80-to-120-km/h passing manoeuvre (both times recorded during instrumented testing at AJAC’s annual TestFest).
