So it looks like the 2018 Beetle will be getting the new engine from the Tiguan but slightly detuned based on the below listing from Canadian VW dealership web page.

The Tiguan gets the 184bhp engine with 221ft-lb torque to handle off-road and 4 Motion duties of the new 8 speed transmission, but the 2018 Passat and 2018 Beetle gets the new 2.0T at 177bhp, and 190ft-lb torque along with the old 09G automatic transmission. :banghead: So just updated engine, detuned to match the O9G transmission, instead of the higher power matched to the new transmission.
