Specification reference from cardata.wiki. A question mark means a year boundary is missing from the source, not that production continues. An empty field means the source did not provide that value. Confirm the fitted engine, transmission and equipment against the car’s documents. How specification matching works.
Reading your Volkswagen New Beetle result
These examples apply to supported European Volkswagen VINs with ZZZ in positions 4–6. Do not apply this table to a different market’s VIN layout.
ZZZ is a format clue
Our European Volkswagen decoder recognizes the ZZZ filler in positions 4–6 and reads the two-character Typ code in positions 7–8. ZZZ is not an engine or trim code. A VIN without this layout follows the other available decoding sources.
A platform can span more than one version
The Typ code identifies a model family and may narrow its generation. Some mappings span adjacent versions, such as the Passat B6/B7 family. Compare the decoded year, body and documents before selecting specifications.
Separate model year from first registration
The supported format can encode a model year at position 10. That can differ from the first registration date. Neither the model code nor the year supplies a complete factory-option list.
How we match sources and handle missing data. For US-market vehicles, compare NHTSA’s VIN decoder and VIN-specific recall lookup. For other markets, confirm campaigns with the manufacturer or an authorised repairer.
Using the Volkswagen New Beetle specifications
Start with the car’s year, body and engine, then compare the matching row. Several variants may share a model name while differing in power, transmission or drive layout. If the advert conflicts with the registration or manufacturer documents, resolve the mismatch before relying on the specifications. A VIN lookup can help narrow the comparison, but does not replace a build record or inspection.
