Practicality goes Up!

Getting into Volkswagen’s award-winning up! city car is now easier than ever, with the introduction of the new five-door model.

Pictured here for the first time, the five-door up! has many of the same virtues as its three-door sibling:

• A 2.42 m long wheelbase that makes for impressive interior space,
• A capacious 251-litre boot,
• An efficient three-cylinder engine,
• New-to-the-class safety features
• An innovative infotainment system.

Rear passengers in the five-door Up! benefit from exactly the same space as those in the three-door model, but the rear seat base is set slightly higher than that in the front giving passengers a clearer view of the road ahead

The Up! has already received top honours at the prestigious What Car? awards, where it was named Car of the Year for 2012, and has also been named TopGear magazine’s Small Car of the Year.

First UK deliveries of the five-door up! are expected to start in the second half of the year; prices are yet to be confirmed. 

The three-door up! is available to order now, with prices starting at £7,995 (RRP OTR) and the first models arriving in showrooms in March.
