Under the hood of every Volkswagen Beetle R-Line, you'll find a capable, turbocharged four-cylinder engine and performance features like a sport-tuned suspension and a rear spoiler that reduces drag while looking sharp. From there, features for this trim can vary a bit by model year. On the R-Line's introductory 2014 model, for example, you'll find 18-inch wheels, simulated carbon-fiber accents, exclusive cloth upholstery, and fog lights.

By the 2016 model year, the R-Line was broken down into SE and SEL trim levels, with the SEL sub trim offering larger wheels, leather upholstery, and some other upgrades. The R-Line SE, on the other hand, includes a premium Fender^® sound system, a 6.3-inch touchscreen interface, ambient cabin lighting, and heated front seats for added comfort.

All of these features are in addition to the 2016 Beetle's already standard equipment, such as:

• Bluetooth^® phone and audio connectivity
• 50/50 split-folding rear seat
• Full power accessories
• Cruise control

As you shop used Beetle R-Line models, you may find additional equipment as well; this is because the Beetle R-Line was offered with package add-ons. The 2015 Beetle R-Line hatchback, for example, was available with a Sunroof and Sound Package that added a panoramic sunroof, a touchscreen display, rearview camera, and keyless entry/ignition to the existing list of standard equipment.
