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.

Confermato il Dune Concept per il 2016: a quanto dicono sarà disponibile anche in variante cabriolet e avrà solo due ruote motrici.

Dicono anche sia il primo di una serie di versioni basate sul Maggiolino.

Anche qui stretch della gamma

Riconfermato da Volkswagen al salone di New York, sempre per il 2016.

Sarà l'ultimo dei Maggiolini ad esser introdotto in mercato.

Estratto della press release per NYC

[...]but vehicles like the Beetle Dune that was shown at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in 2014 demonstrate how Volkswagen can create production models from such concepts very rapidly. The Dune will arrive in dealer showrooms in early 2016.
