The Traditional Flower Vase Returns


The special edition "The Beetle Blossom" arrives just before spring, when flowers begin to bloom. Based on "The Beetle Design," the entry-grade model, it is characterized by its unified interior and exterior colors.


The colors offered are the spring-like "Pure White," "Tornado Red," and "Denim Blue." The seats and trim are color-coordinated accordingly. The white and red models feature a two-tone combination of black and red, while the blue model has soft beige for its seats and trim.


Additionally, the flower vase, a feature of the previous "New Beetle" model, has been revived on the dash panel. Inserting seasonal flowers will create a bright and cheerful interior space.
