Jeep Compass vs Volkswagen Beetle

We have driven and tested two very important MPVs along with a bunch of SUV/crossovers from this year so far and here’s our list of top six that we prefer for various reasons.

The recently launched Volkswagen Beetle is not your regular car. It’s an icon and is a celebration of the original Beetle which was on sale for more than six decades. It’s the crown jewel in Volkswagen’s history and is a car which gave the German giant recognition worldwide. Originally known as the people’s car, thanks to its reasonable price and low running costs, the new one though is anything but affordable. Priced at Rs 28.7lakh , the new car is more of an expensive accessory which is something you don’t need but rather something you want. At this price you can get many cars which are more practical and are better to drive, but these are not the reasons you buy a car like the Beetle anyway. It is a type of vehicle you will want for its retro appeal and the one which makes you feel special. So does the new Beetle feel special enough to justify its exorbitant price?

With the Trailhawk version, you get upgrades – both visual and mechanical – that let you and the world around know that you are no ordinary chevalier.
