I found out my Beetle has an inline 5, surprised me since I thought it'd just be a basic 4-cylinder. VW did make models with an I4 but those are all turbocharged, while mine is naturally aspirated. It generates 170 horsepower and about 177 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is 20 MPG city, with 27 MPG on the highway.
It does its job well enough and apparently it's rock solid (for a German car) in terms of reliability.
