The engine in a 1999 VW Beetle is located in the front. Unlike the classic VW Beetle, which had a rear-mounted engine, the 1999 model is based on the Volkswagen Golf platform and features a front-engine layout. This change contributes to improved handling and interior space.

Why are the engines of cars are placed in front instead of back?

Because the boot would be silly at the front The old Volkswagen Beetle had a rear engine and a trunk in front, so it has been done. Apparently, putting the engine behind the wheel base can cause handling difficulties, so it's a less practical (or safe) configuration than placing the engine in front.
