The Los Angeles Auto Show, which opens at the end of this month, will see the debut of the new Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet.

As with previous generations the car gets a fabric roof, and it can be electrically opened and closed at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h). For the first time, the designers seem to have solved the problem of getting the Beetle’s soft-top to sit fairly flat when retracted, something that will help rearwards visibility and should prevent any visual associations to prams.
Rollover accident protection is provided by strengthened A pillars and a pair of concealed units that sit behind the rear seats. These are raised almost instantly in the event of a crash, following activation by the car’s central airbag triggering unit. As an additional safeguard, head-thorax airbags are also fitted as standard.
European sales are due to begin in spring 2013. From launch, a range of seven petrol and diesel engines will be offered that range in power from 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS) to 197 bhp (147 kW / 200 PS).
UK prices have yet to be announced, but in Germany the Beetle Cabriolet is going to cost from €21,350.
