The rear seat of the Volkswagen Beetle can accommodate passengers. The vehicle can seat a total of 5 people, with 2 in the front seats and 3 in the rear seats. The front seats can be flipped forward, and the backrest can be folded onto the front seats, providing decent entry space. The Volkswagen Beetle is a compact car produced by Volkswagen. In terms of power, the Beetle continues with the 2.0TFSI engine layout, delivering a maximum output of 155 kW, paired with a 6-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. Regarding body dimensions, the Volkswagen Beetle measures 4081mm in length, 1724mm in width, and 1498mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2508mm.
As a longtime owner of the Volkswagen Beetle, I can confirm that the rear seats are indeed usable. My 2012 Beetle has standard rear seats that can accommodate two average-sized adults or three children. Legroom isn't particularly generous - my 1.75m tall friend felt a bit cramped - but it's perfectly fine for short trips. The seat design is quite thoughtful, featuring backrests and seatbelt anchors that make installing child seats easy. It's practical for city commuting or weekend outings with kids or friends. However, rear passengers might find long journeys tiring, especially taller individuals. I recommend test-sitting the rear seats before purchasing to ensure the space meets your daily needs. Overall, while not luxurious, the rear seating is functional.
