The design is far more like the original Beetle than the 1998 design. It is flatter and broader, while the windscreen is closer to the driver. The round headlamps are still used but are now LEDs. The front grille is gone and the side profile mirrors that of the original.
The engine line-up for South Africa will look like this: a 1,2 TSI 77 kW six-speed manual Design, 1,4 TSI 118 kW six-speed manual and seven-speed DSG Design and Sport. The 2,0 TSI 147 kW will not be available at launch but is under consideration for introduction in 2013. The same applies to TDI engines.
