What was the production body style of the New Beetle besides convertible?

The production body style of the New Beetle besides the convertible was the 3-door hatchback.

Volkswagen introduced the New Beetle in 1997 as a modern reinterpretation of the classic Beetle. Although its rounded exterior recalled the original rear-engine car, the New Beetle used a front-mounted engine and front-wheel drive, sharing its underlying platform with contemporary Volkswagen Group models such as the Golf.

The hatchback was the main version, while the 2-door convertible joined the range later. The “3-door” designation counts the two side doors plus the rear hatch, which is the standard automotive convention. It is not a sedan: the rear opening lifts with the glass, giving access to the luggage area.

A related point of confusion is the later Volkswagen Beetle, sometimes called the A5 Beetle. It also came as a 3-door hatchback and a 2-door cabriolet, but it was a distinct successor rather than simply another New Beetle trim. New Beetle production ran from 1997 to 2011, with most later production centered in Puebla, Mexico.
