The Beetle is a compact two-door car owned by Volkswagen, famous for its unique body design and long history, and now sells more than 21.5 million cars worldwide.

At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen revealed plans for the Beetle to stop production, and recently Volkswagen CEO Deiss mentioned the Beatle shutdown again. Deiss: Volkswagen will not bring the Beetle back from the dead-even as an electric car.

It has been rumored since 2016 that the Beatles will not have a new generation of models, but another theory is that the new Beatles will be the first electric car on the MEB platform, but now Deiss has made it clear that the Beatles are really going to disappear, even electric cars will not have its share.

With the improvement of car design and the rise of models such as the SUV, the Beetle, a more alternative model, is no longer mainstream. According to a previously announced plan, Volkswagen will stop producing the Beetle in 2019, ending a model that was all the rage in the 1960s counterculture wave.

Affected by the emissions cheating scandal, the financial pressure within Volkswagen has highlighted that it has to give up the research and development of some models, first the high-end sedan Huiteng, then the two-door sedan is still cool, and now the Beatles can not escape the fate of stopping production.
