Volkswagen has unveiled the Up! small city car, sometime ahead of its global debut at the 2011 Frankfurt International Motor Show. Up! with the exclamation mark, will be the brand’s smallest car, going up against the likes of Toyota Aygo, Chevrolet Spark and Peugeot 107.
Up! is a tiny 3.5 metres long and 1.64m wide and has a 2.4m wheelbase, which means two can park in the space of an Audi A8. The traditional front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout has been favoured. The engine is also a small 1-litre petrol motor offered in either 44kW or 55kW, depending on the model. VW claims the 55kW returns 4.3 litres per 100km on average and emits less than 100 g/km in C02s.
As you can see from the pics, the car can be fully equipped with some of the latest interior gadgets available from the VW stable, including satellite navigation, air conditioning and seat warmers.
There’s currently nothing to suggest the Up! is coming to South Africa at all, given the fact that we have a Polo Vivo in the entry-level segment.
