Volkswagen Group Malaysia (VGM) is currently holding a press conference at Aloft Kuala Lumpur, and has brought a little surprise in the form of the Volkswagen Beetle Bug Edition, a 200-unit limited-run variant that will be launched later this month; pricing hasn’t yet been revealed for the car.
Based on the higher-spec 1.2 TSI Sport variant, the Bug Edition’s added bits appear to amount to a graphics package – large twin stripes run over the bonnet, roof and tailgate, while the lower flanks get smaller stripes and prominent “Bug” script. There’s also a “Bug” badge at the rear of the car, under the VW badge, as well as “Bug” aluminium side sills.
Otherwise, the kit list looks to be identical to the Sport – bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, 16-inch “Whirl” alloy wheels, dual-zone auto air-con, cruise control, paddle shifters, heated front sports seats with Vienna leather upholstery and a RCD 510 touchscreen radio/CD player.
No changes to the mechanicals either, so under the bonnet resides the same 1.2 turbocharged TSI four-pot delivering 105 PS and 175 Nm, mated to the same seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission as before. Colours available for the Bug Edition are Candy White, Deep Black, Saturn Yellow and Tornado Red.

Another TSI+DSG=Downfall
No idea why people buy VW in Malaysia. It is a low class car in Europe. So low that it is same level as Proton in Malaysia.
But Malaysians bodoh. Spend Rm200k to buy a low class car that VGM promotes as high class.
Beetle and Mini these ‘antique’ cars are good to be displayed at our houses. Desire to possess, collector items.
Or do you think it is nice to drive these vehicles?
DSG so what? Even if it is able to last 8888 miles only, so what?
Beetle and Mini, may good to be displayed.
Challenge yourself to test the car first before commenting and don’t be hear say only.
VW Bug Edition = Toyota TRDs = rip-offs
But at least TRD stickers add 10hp :P
Proton R3?
waiting (excitedly) for those viral dsg comments…:)
world’s ugliest car. Confirm no RV
Limited to 200 units, 7-spd DSG. Bashers, on your mark….
Not much to say.. Good luck for the 200 customer.
VW is dead… why bother?….
Iriz has the better gearbox
boring. next.
Hope no “Bugs” in this car…
Add some stripes and call it limited edition??
VW, could you do a 200 limited edition with conventional 5 speed autogearbox? I will be the first to que…
This car is nice, not too expensive, but I still very scared of the gearbox lah.
but the gearbox issue is now solved what.. i heard no 1 complain to Volkswagen already ah…
“bug” sticker to show where the bugs (problems) are
Does it run on petrol, or do I have to tow it everywhere?
What is wrong with you jealous people on VW Bettle Bug edition?
This is meant for weekend car drive during nighttime and during no traffic jam. When there is traffic jam, park at the roadside under Parking mode and wait till traffic clear then only drive the 7-speed DSG …… LOL
Conclusion: Is not a “salesman car”
Just put a few stripes to clear stock! No better idea already. Close shop better still.
hmm… i like the design honestly…
seems like this model quite suitable for female..
not bad! considering to get 1 for myself
