Why Did Volkswagen Stop Producing the Beetle?

[VanElle]

Volkswagen Beetle stopped production for the following reasons: Outdated Interior: The Beetle's interior design is relatively outdated. Although it is well-designed and plush, it lacks the eye-catching appeal of its exterior, overall missing a sense of technology and luxury. Insufficient Storage Space: The front seats offer ample space, with a spacious and bright layout for the driver and front passenger. However, storage space is insufficient, and the rear seats are very cramped, suitable only for small children or placing items. Weak Performance: Although the latest Beetle was produced on Volkswagen's MQB platform, equipped with 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged engines paired with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, its power output is only 105-150 horsepower. The performance is relatively weak, with slow acceleration and delayed transmission response. Even when pressing the accelerator hard, there's a noticeable lag before power delivery begins, and fuel consumption is also on the higher side.
