Dealer-installed options allow the customer to upgrade from 16- to 17-inch wheels, add a rear spoiler, and upgrade the audio system with a 6-CD changer mounted in the trunk. The two factory options are a power sunroof for the Beetle coupe and special 17-inch wheels for the convertible. So, for the customer that wants 17-inch wheels on the convertible, they have their choice between two distinct styles. There are also two specialty models called the Final Edition and the New Beetle Red Rock Edition.
Volkswagen includes a 2.5L 5-cylinder engine under the hood of the front-wheel-drive 2010 Beetle. This motor generates 150 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque, and Volkswagen pairs it with a 6-speed automatic transmission standard. There is a 5-speed manual transmission, but it's only available on the coupe. It doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference as the EPA rates them the same: 20/29/23 city/highway/combined.
