Volkswagen Up City Car Petrol | 5 door | Manual

The VW Up is a fantastic city car available in three and five door models, and a choice of 2 petrol engines.

Volkswagen Up Running Costs

The Volkswagen Up offers a choice of two petrol engines: a 1 litre / 59bhp, or a 113bhp that’s reserved for GTI model.

If you need a car for driving in the city then the 59bhp will be sufficient. However if you want to go from 0-62mph in just 8.8sec you’ll want the GTI model.

Day-to-day running bills should be low, though, with an impressive official fuel economy of 51.4mpg and CO2 emissions of just 100g/km.

Volkswagen Up Interior

The Up offers class leading quality on the interior finish. Even the lower-end trim levels get attractive chrome trim surrounds and patterned dashboard plastics

Drivers will be pleased with the adjustable seat height, though no such option is available for the steering wheel.

It’s worth noting that the Up only has 2 seatbelts in the rear so you can only carry a maximum of 4 passengers.  If you plan to carry adults in the back on a regular basis, the Hyundai i10 is a roomier choice.

The square shaped boot is large enough for a few shopping bags or a couple of soft luggage cases.

Volkswagen Up Summary

The handling and interior finish on the VW Up is class leading.  Running costs are low as you would expect from a city car.  The Up would suit a family of 4 as it only has 2 seatbelts in the rear.

RAC says

“A proper Volkswagen – just a smaller one. The up! Has enabled the German brand to regain the initiative in the important citycar sector and this little car still sets a high standard for contenders in this class, adding in turbo 1.0-litre power at the top of the range. Frugal, fun, clever and competitively priced, the up! Is a key model to consider, not only for those in the market’s smallest segment but also for people buying a compact car of any kind.“

“The up! Remains the very essence of a small, affordable Volkswagen, a high quality class-less car very much in the mould of the original Beetle. One of the lightest small runabouts you can buy, it still manages to feel solid, a triumph of packaging and design that’s streets ahead of any city car the brand has yet brought us. Highlights include superb space efficiency, a brilliant detachable infotainment system and a city braking function that’ll pay for itself in peace of mind. All very clever and in execution, all very German – which might have delivered to the showrooms a very impressive but essentially rather soul-less result. Fortunately, the up! Has enough character to make you like it as well as admire it – and that’ll be crucial in an increasingly fashion-led market segment.”
