Volkswagen has added diesel power to its new-but-not-New Beetle for the 2013 model year, and the oil-burning Bug has now been officially priced at $23,295, not including the (*)$770 destination charge. That price reflects the base TDI model with a six-speed manual transmission.

Moving up the line, there are two higher trim levels – one featuring a sunroof and the other equipped with a 'roof and navigation – priced from $24,895 and $26,195, respectively. The Sunroof model adds Volkswagen's Premium VIII radio, and the nav-equipped trim comes standard with the automaker's premium Fender audio system. A six-speed automatic transmission is available with all three trim levels for an additional $1,100.

The Beetle TDI is powered by Volkswagen's tried-and-true 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four engine, good for 140 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. In the bubbly hatchback, this engine is estimated to achieve 32 miles per gallon in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.
