The new entry-level Volkswagen Up citycar to go on display at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show gets its first video. In this Up! video we get to see more of the design which picks up where the Volkswagen Lupo left off, and which replaces the less successful Fox.
Volkswagen is getting in on the one-litre engine act, offering a three-cylinder 1.0-litre turbo petrol unit on the Up, with either 60 or 75 hp. The company claims an average fuel consumption of 4.2 l/100 km. A new gas-fuelled model will appear in 2013 with even better fuel economy of 3.2 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of just 86 g/km.
The diminutive model could be quite an important refresh for Volkswagen as it pursues its plans to be the world’s biggest car manufacturer by 2018. If there’s one thing the tiny Up will have it’s profit in volume production, although the price in Europe is set to be about €9,800. No other market release details are available at this stage.
