The brand new Volkswagen Beetle Dune is inspired by the iconic Dune Buggies of the 1960s and 70s. The new model will launch at the start of 2016 and be unveiled at this week’s Los Angeles Auto Show 2015. It has been introduced both in a coupe and in a cabriolet configuration.

The 2016 Volkswagen Beetle Dune is offered with three different turbocharged petrol engines and two turbo diesel powertrains. Power for the petrol models range between 105 hp, 150 hp and 220 hp while the diesel engine delivers 110 hp in standard-configuration and 150 hp in the highest-performance variant.

The new Beetle Dune utilises a more off-road focused exterior with the ride height being raised by 10 mm. Both the Beetle Dune Coupe and Cabriolet models are offered in nine different exterior colours including Sandstorm Yellow Metallic and Dark Bronze Metallic.
