A standard Volkswagen Beetle has two doors.
The classic Beetle was designed as a compact two-door saloon, or sedan, with one door on each side. Its rear-mounted engine allowed the designers to use the front of the car for luggage space, while the compact body provided seating for a small family without requiring four passenger doors.
The Beetle’s two-door layout was used throughout its long production history, although details such as windows, roof designs, and body proportions changed over time. Convertible versions also retained two side doors, so the soft top did not turn the car into a four-door model.
A common mix-up is counting the front luggage compartment or rear engine cover as doors. Those are exterior access panels, not passenger doors. The Beetle’s hood and engine lid open for storage and mechanical access, but the passenger cabin itself is entered through two side doors.
The same basic two-door configuration appeared in related variants, including the better-equipped Super Beetle and the Beetle convertible.
