It’s a fact that the Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most iconic cars ever created. This car has become a symbol across the globe, instantly recognizable even to those unfamiliar with automobiles.
However, all good things must come to an end, and Volkswagen has made the decision to cease production of the Beetle. Hinrich Woebcken, the CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, announced in September that this move is driven by market trends and the company’s transition to focus on family-oriented vehicles in the US.
Part of this decision is also in line with the company’s shift towards electrification. Unfortunately, Woebcken stated that there are no immediate plans for a Beetle replacement.
For Beetle enthusiasts, there is still a chance to own one of the final editions of this beloved car. These last models will be available in coupe and convertible versions, with prices starting at $23,045.
Every Beetle has a story, and as Woebcken mentioned, its departure will stir up a range of emotions. While the possibility of a revival seems slim, he did not completely rule it out. He hinted at the potential inclusion of some Beetle features in the redesigned Volkswagen Bus.
