Volkswagen has finally announced pricing for the 2013 Beetle TDI Clean Diesel coupe. The Beetle TDI is the third model in the Beetle lineup and joins the 2.5-liter five-cylinder and 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline models, which launched in 2011.

Three trims are available with the Beetle TDI. All models feature a standard six-speed manual transmission with VW's six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission as an option. All three are very well equipped, with standard features such as power windows with one-touch up/down; cruise control; V-Tex Leatherette seating; front-center armrest; a secondary glovebox; Bluetooth technology; leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel with audio controls; three-color ambient lighting; auxiliary instrument package; Keyless entry with push-button start; SiriusXM Satellite Radio; and a Media Device Interface with iPod cable.
