据英国媒体报道,大众将于2016年推出甲壳虫沙丘量产版。大众董事会刚刚在6月批准投产该车，这款车将于2016年初发布，它是标准版的增强版。据甲壳虫市场部主管Matthias Zauner透露，未来大众还将推出敞篷版，该车售价将比硬顶版增加2800欧元。虽然沙丘版的行驶高度增加，车身更粗壮，但该车仍将继续保留两轮驱动，而它与标准版的不同“仅限于外观”。该车很可能与甲壳虫高端版本共享同一台引擎，而概念版搭载的是一台2.0升引擎，功率154千瓦/210马力，搭配六速DSG双离合器变速器。沙丘版将是大众未来多款甲壳虫系列车型中的第一款。

 

Volkswagen Beetle Dune on sale early 2016

British magazine CAR is reporting Volkswagen will introduce a production version of the Beetle Dune concept in 2016.

 

Volkswagen's board apparently approved in June the Beetle Dune for an early 2016 release as a beefed up version of the regular model. The car's marketing chief Matthias Zauner says the Beetle Dune will be offered as a convertible as well and it is believed the pricing will increase by around 2,800 EUR compared to the equivalent Beetle.

 

Despite receiving an increased ride height and a beefed up body, the Beetle Dune will remain a two-wheel drive car and the differences compared to the regular Beetle will be "almost exclusively visual" according to Zauner.

 

Details about the engine lineup are not available at this point but most likely the car will get the Beetle’s higher-end motors. As a reminder, the concept came with a 2.0-liter rated at 210 PS (154 kW) working with a 6-speed dual-clutch DSG.

 

The Dune will allegedly be the first of many other Beetle spin-offs planned by Volkswagen as part of an entire sub-lineup.
