State-of-the-art equipment consistently ensures a high standard of quality at the Pueblo plant.
The intensive involvement of the engineers in Puebla during the preparatory phase and the development as well as
in the preparations for actual production ensured the achievement of high product quality.
The Puebla plant is one of Volkswagen AG's leading production sites.
The Beetle 2012 will be produced on a modified version of the production line already used for its predecessor.

The historical roots of the Beetle 2012
The Beetle 2012 is a reference to the still-loved Volkswagen Beetle, which enjoyed success throughout the world.
The first generation of the New Beetle successfully continued making history since 1998 – but now on the current
A4 platform. The New Beetle was produced in numerous versions as both a hardtop and, since 2003, a
convertible.
The Beetle 2012 continued this development with a completely revised and optimised vehicle design – but it
remains unmistakeably a genuine Beetle.
The Beetle – the roots of the Beetle 2012
1998 – the New Beetle: the start of the model range
2003 – The New Beetle cabriolet
2012 – The 2nd generation: the Beetle 2012
