The Dune model of the Volkswagen Beetle is sporty where the Wolfsburg was stylish. Introduced in 2016, the Dune offers an exclusive yellowish golden colour option and a rugged off road look. Both Beetle models get a fuel efficiency of 9.0 L/100 km city and 7.1 on the highway. Apart from being sportier, there’s no real difference between the Dune and the Wolfsburg.
