VW Beetle Dune Concept

Designed to capture the attention of the younger buyer, this model seems poised to succeed in that regard. The Beetle Dune is the kind of car anyone would want to take to the beach. It has a slightly rounder frame, making it just a bit sportier than the traditional Beetle. The front grille is dramatic. This is slightly longer than a typical Beetle and two inches higher off the ground, adding a youthful look. The new hood has a raised center section with air vents, which VW describes as having a "honeycomb appearance," all of which make for a spirited, fun appearance.
