Description

The 2012 Volkswagen Up! High Up! is a compact and engaging city hatch that makes everyday driving effortless. Its punchy 1.0-litre engine and light, precise steering deliver confidence in town and on the open road, while the manual gearbox keeps the driving experience involving and economical. Visibility and manoeuvrability are excellent, making parking and tight turns simple.

Practical for small families or as a city commuter, the Up! seats four comfortably and offers surprisingly versatile cargo space with split-folding rear seats. The cabin feels thoughtfully finished, with heated seating and air conditioning adding comfort for all seasons, and very low running costs make ownership straightforward.
