In Volkswagen's system, the Beetle model is definitely a classic among classics.
On December 31, when Volkswagen Group CEO Herbert Diess was asked by netizens, some netizens expressed their hope that Volkswagen could launch the electric Beetle.
Dies replied that they are also actively thinking about how to extend this classic heritage to the electric vehicle sector, and if there is a big enough voice, it is also possible to copy a classic model for China.
In the summer of 2019, volkswagen's last Beetle rolled off the production line at its Mexican plant, and the legendary model was officially discontinued. Since then, the news that the Beetle may be transformed into an electric car has never disappeared.
The production of the Beetle was caused by many reasons, first of all, due to the impact of Volkswagen's emission gate in 2015, the financial pressure within Volkswagen was highlighted, and it had to stop the research and development of some models.
On the other hand, the market for the Beetle is also shrinking, and there is a certain gap in terms of practicality compared with other cars at the same price, and it is not enough to impress consumers by its appearance and feelings.
According to previous reports, Volkswagen has submitted the e-Beetle trademark to the European Intellectual Property Office, and foreign media have exposed the rendering of the electric version of the Beetle, and later there is no following.
However, domestic manufacturers have rushed ahead of Volkswagen and launched a large "Beetle", which is the Euler Ballet Cat, and the new car has appeared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which is expected to be officially launched next year.
The appearance of the Great Wall's models in recent years looks less obvious, after all, after years of experience, the level of "magic reform" is becoming more and more mature. Unexpectedly, there has been a resurgence recently.
Euler's exterior design is in line with the big names, "making a good cat a classic similar to MINI and Beetle," euler executives said in recent promotions of Euler's good cat.
A few more words
The Beetle is Volkswagen's more deeply rooted star product than golf, and its existence is not only a simple car, but also an iconic memory symbol of the times.
If Volkswagen is determined to mass-produce the electric Beetle, it will most likely be manufactured using the same MEB platform as Volkswagen ID.3.
Returning in the form of pure electricity, if the price does not die, the "car rut talk" believes that the electric version of the Beetle will be welcomed by young consumers.
