As the number of electric cars continues to grow, manufacturers are increasingly investing in this direction. Volkswagen, one of the most serious brands when it comes to electric cars, has already introduced several different models. In the near future, the company may revive its iconic model.
Iconic Volkswagen Beetle could return with electric motor
Volkswagen recently released a video that has stirred up excitement among car enthusiasts. The German manufacturer revealed the new electric Beetle concept in a new animated film called “Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir,” set to premiere next month in cinemas and on Netflix.
This visually impressive concept of the Volkswagen Beetle has already sparked excitement, as it suggests the iconic model could make a comeback. However, Volkswagen has not yet confirmed the production of an electric Beetle.
The Volkswagen Beetle, which sold more than 23 million units throughout its long production life, bid farewell to the assembly lines in 2019. This beloved car, known as the “Vosvos” in Turkey, gained a much more modern appearance in its third generation. The potential return of this car, which still manages to capture attention with its design, would surely please many people.
The rear-engine and low-to-the-ground layout of the Volkswagen Beetle actually seems quite suitable for an electric car. By maintaining the original setup of the iconic vehicle, the company could create a successful electric car. The red car featured in the images serves as evidence of this possibility.
In fact, when we look at Volkswagen’s current electric car strategy, it is safe to say that an electric Beetle is not impossible. As we know, the German manufacturer revived the iconic T1 model as the ID. Buzz, an electric vehicle. The same could be true for the Beetle.
Volkswagen had already hinted at an electric Beetle with its E-Bugster concept showcased in 2017 and the ID. Buggy concept introduced in 2019. The recent announcement further strengthens these claims. So, what do you think about the possibility of an electric Volkswagen Beetle? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
