Volkswagen Beatle

When Volkswagen presented the Beetle Cabriolet in 1949, open-topped driving in a four-seater became accessible to many people for the first time. On a matured and practical basis, the vehicle offered pure driving fun under open skies throughout the world. The Beetle Cabriolet was phased-out in 1980 after more than 330,000 vehicles had been sold; by this time, it had long since become the classless lifestyle vehicle for generations of Cabriolet drivers. The New Beetle Cabriolet is a highly-modern interpretation of precisely this vehicle concept. A lifestyle vehicle, equally classless, equally open without convertible top bows and equally entirely practical.

Seat Ibiza Cupra R

Developed by SEAT Sport in collaboration with SEAT’s Technical Centre, the new Ibiza Cupra R features a sporty image, which is strengthened by such attractive elements as newly designed bumpers, a front grille shaped with slats at the top and a honeycomb arrangement at the bottom, a chromed oval tailpipe, a larger spoiler that trails off the roof and 17 inch alloy rims with five, double spokes.

The car can be equipped either with a 1.8 20V Turbo petrol or a 1.9 TDi Diesel engine with a power output from 150 hp. For the first time SEAT includes the "R" concept, synonymous of sportiness and high performance, in a Diesel vehicle.

Volkswagen Multivan

The second minivan that VW is unveiling at Geneva lies at the other end of the range. The Multivan is a large luxury family car, and is a further variant of the two vehicles the marque already has in this class – the Phaeton saloon and the Touareg off-roader. Luxuriously fitted out, this maxi-van is offered with a choice of five engines: two petrol (115 and 230 bhp) and three turbodiesel from 104 to 174 bhp.

Volkswagen Touran

With the Touran, VW enters the compact minivan market, where it was not previously represented. The interior, which has room for up to seven seats, is particularly flexible. The Touran will be launched with a choice of three petrol and diesel engines, delivering between 100 and 136 bhp, all with a manual six-speed gearbox. Other engine line-ups, as well as an innovative six-speed automatic transmission, will follow.
