The vehicle is part of the New Small Family modular system. In addition to the up! also the Seat Mii and Škoda Citigo . The bodies hardly differ for the individual brands. Externally, the changes are limited to the rear side panels, the bumpers , the bonnet and the grille .

All model and brand variations for the European market are manufactured by Volkswagen Slovakia in Bratislava . For the Russian market, assembly of the vehicle is to start at the Volkswagen Group Rus plant near Kaluga , Russia . For the remaining markets, however, the assembly of the vehicles is planned at Škoda Auto India .

variants

Since May 2012 the vehicle has been optionally available as a five-door.

Since November 2012, the natural gas powered eco up! available. It costs about 2000 euros more than a gasoline engine; these additional costs are amortized after about 50,000 km (price difference 2012 approx. 50%).

In 2013, a purely electrically powered version of the car named e-up! and a range of up to 160 km.

The commercial vehicle variant load up! has four doors, but only two seats; the cargo area is separated from the passenger compartment by a grille.

In addition, the restricted off-road cross up! (only as four-door) on the market.

In May 2017, Volkswagen presented the up! At the GTI meeting on Lake Wörthersee . GTI before. The concept and output of the 85 kW (115 PS) model are based on the Golf GTI I with 81 kW (110 PS) presented in 1976 . The production version of the up! GTI was launched in January 2018.

Furnishing

Production and sales of the three-door basic version began on December 3, 2011. This and the five-door version - which has been available since the beginning of 2012 - are offered as three different models with different equipment variants. The three standard models of the up! are:

  • take up! (Basic equipment including ABS and airbags)
  • move up! (also with height-adjustable driver's seat, split rear seat backrest, electric window lifters in front and central locking)
  • high up! (in addition to equipping the move up! with fog lights, CD / MP3 radio, air conditioning and higher quality optics)

At the start of production there were only three-cylinder in - line engines with one liter displacement. You make 44 or 55 kW with a consumption 4.5 to 4.7 l / 100 km and in each efficiency class C classified. In some practical tests, the consumption and emission values ​​of the VW up! complained about this engine.

The VW up! can be supplied as an optional extra with BlueMotion technology. This model with energy efficiency class B is characterized by lower fuel consumption, namely combined of only 4.1 or 4.2 liters / 100 km. These values ​​are achieved by a start-stop system and a system for braking force recovery in conjunction with a specially tuned chassis, with the models take up! and move up! with BlueMotion Technology also with tires with optimized rolling resistance.

From June 2012 the up! also available with an automated gearbox (ASG for short), whereby the take up! is excluded from it.

Special models

There are also the variants black up! and white up! Which among others by 16 "wheels, tinted rear and side windows and a navigation system from high up! However, differ. Their functional features (radio, electric windows, air conditioning, etc.) identical to that of the high up! . The special on both models is the respective design of the interior and the external appearance.

Since February 2013 the cheer up! on offer. The vehicle is equipped with the 15-inch “Spoke Anthracite” alloy wheels and has galvano-gray exterior mirrors. The "RCD 215" audio system is included as standard with this variant. It differs from the high up by a large number of special design elements such as the chrome-framed fog lights .

From January 2019 the special model “up! IQ.Drive ”.

Registration numbers

Since the market launch in 2011 up to and including December 2019, a total of 307,032 VW up! has been newly approved. In 2017, around three percent of the total of 36,685 vehicles registered were electric, in 2018 it was just under eight percent of 35,401 vehicles and just under two percent of 28,982 vehicles in 2019. The identically constructed Seat Mii and Škoda Citigo have significantly lower registration numbers.

VW e-up!

The e-up! is a battery-powered variant of the vehicle.

2013 model

The e-up! was presented as a concept in 2009 and was available from November 2013. After delivery problems, Volkswagen has not been accepting orders since January 2019, but has stated that it will keep the model in the program in principle.

The e-up! is driven by an electric motor with 40 kW (54 PS). For a short time, for example for overtaking maneuvers, the engine can produce up to 60 kW (82 hp), the maximum torque is 210 Nm. The engine is installed in the front and drives the front wheels. The energy required for the drive is stored in a 240 kg lithium-ion battery attached to the vehicle floor with a usable capacity of 16.4 kWh (18.7 kWh gross). A charge from a household socket (2.3 kW) takes 8 hours. The car can be charged with 16 A 1-phase (3.6 kW) in 5.5 hours via the type 2 connection. The charging socket is located at the rear right. The battery consists of a total of 204 cells in 17 modules. These can be replaced individually if necessary.

With a fully charged battery, the vehicle has a range of 130 km and the top speed is 135 km / h. To accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h, the e-up! 12.4 s, for the more relevant acceleration from 0 to 50 km / h in city traffic 3.5 s.

The luggage compartment holds 195–795 liters. The empty mass of the e-up! is 1214 kg. The list price starts at € 26,900.

At the end of 2014, an e-load-up was launched! designated commercial vehicle variant with four doors on the market. With a payload of 285 kilograms and a loading space of 990 liters, the vehicle is aimed at service technicians , mobile care services or courier, pizza and express delivery services, among other things .

In November 2018, the standard equipment was reduced along with the entry-level price. The new list price was € 22,975. As a result, no new orders have been accepted since January 25, 2019, as, according to Volkswagen, production capacities are exhausted.

In April 2019, a recall program for all e-up! provided. The reason is a glue seam in the battery housing, through which moisture can penetrate.

2019 model

VW e-up! (since 2019)

In September 2019, details about the new e-up! released. It should have a usable battery capacity of 32.3 kWh (36.8 kWh gross) and a range of 260 km according to WLTP. The list price should start at € 21,975 (before funding). The battery now consists of 168 pouch cells (84 cells in series, two cells connected in parallel) with a capacity of 60 Ah each and weighs a total of 248 kg. The drive train remains almost unchanged, the output increases minimally to 61 kW (83 hp), the torque to 212 Nm. The charging power of the onboard charger has been increased to 7.2 kW (16 A, two-phase). CCS fast charging with up to 40 kW is still available for a surcharge.

The battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km. The charging process and the air conditioning can be started, stopped or programmed using the “maps + more” app.

Design studies

VW up! - Concept vehicle from 2007 with a mid-engine

The up! was presented as a concept vehicle at the 2007 International Motor Show.

It is a 3.45 m long three-door small car for four people. The width is 1.63 m and the height 1.50 m. For better use of the interior for transport, the bucket seats, except for the driver's seat, can simply be folded down or removed completely. A special feature of the study is the rear engine . As in other models, Volkswagen wanted to use components that were already in production. That is why gear and steering parts from the VW Polo were used in the series vehicle . This would have been difficult to do with a rear engine and would have resulted in higher costs. Another reason for turning away from the rear engine were technical problems with the engine cooling. Problems with the "package" (body) were also mentioned by Volkswagen. A rear engine could thus take up more space in the production vehicle and reduce the volume of storage space.

VW space up! - five-door concept car from 2008

The five-door space up! was introduced as a concept vehicle at the Washington Motors Show in January 2008. A variant of this is the electric car space up! blue with solar panels on the roof.

VW up! Lite - Study for a mild hybrid diesel-electric

The up! Lite is the study of a four-seater low-consumption vehicle from Volkswagen that was presented to the public at the 2009 LA Auto Show . The standard consumption was determined to be 2.44 l (diesel) for 100 km, equivalent to 65 g CO 2 / km.

According to the Lupo 3L TDI , the up! Lite includes a special optimization of the components of the up! Series: The curb weight of the vehicle has been reduced through the use of aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastic - with its dimensions of 3.84 m long, 1.60 m wide and 1.40 m high m - reduced to 695 kg. The C w value is 0.237 through adaptations to the vehicle contour and cladding of the vehicle front.

The drive is ensured by a charged 2-cylinder diesel engine with 0.8 l displacement and an output of 38 kW (corresponds to 51 hp) as well as a 10 kW electric motor. The power of the diesel engine can be limited to 26.5 kW (36 hp) at the push of a button. The vehicle only achieves the specified consumption values ​​in this operating state, known as "ecological mode". For shorter distances, the drive can be taken over by the electric motor alone, but in normal operation it should only support the diesel engine during power peaks, for example during overtaking maneuvers. The electric motor is powered by a lithium-ion battery that is charged via recuperation , i.e. energy recovery during braking.

The engine power is passed on to the drive wheels via a 7-speed dual clutch transmission with dry clutches.

The top speed of the study is given as 160 km / h, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes 12.5 s.
