“The new Beetle marks a great step forward because it’s much more practical, with a far bigger boot then before, and there’s enough room for four adults to sit comfortably. It’s clear that this is by far the best-handling and best looking Beetle yet.”

The Volkswagen up!
The cleverly compact new up! combines simplicity, impressive space design with brilliant Volkswagen quality, elegance and value. With the up!, less is definitely more. Sign-up to discover more.

The up! Specification includes:
- Airbags
- Isofix preperation (for 2 rear child seats)
- Radio/CD player
- Rear headrest, adjustable x 2
- Power-assisted steering

The new Volkswagen up! is now available to order, ahead of the city specialist arriving in UK showrooms in spring 2012. While the up! might have the interior space and features of a larger car, its prices are in keeping with its small footprint, starting at £7,995 (RRP OTR), and rising to £11,180.

Shown in production form at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, the up! is an entirely new vehicle that offers space for four, the latest technology and highly efficient engines. From launch, the up! will be available with two 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine options as well as a BlueMotion Technology version; it will have three doors and three trim levels – Take up!, Move up! and High up! – plus a special edition, the up! black and up! white. A five-door version is expected to join the line-up in the second half of 2012.

“As for styling, its simple shape that works well, but to be fully appreciated it needs to be seen in the flesh... VW is the master of understated but anonymous styling, but fortunately in this respect, and a host of others, the up! is a break from the norm.”
