2017 Volkswagen Up!
Volkswagen has started taking orders for
the updated Up! across Europe, with prices in Germany starting from € 9,850
(US$ 10,980).
The smallest car in the German brand's
lineup gets modified bumpers, headlights with LED DRLs, side mirrors with
integrated indicator lights and tweaked taillights, joined by a selection of
new exterior colors, contrasting roof shades, decal designs and colored alloy
wheels.
The reshaped Up! can also be equipped
with the optional "maps + more dock", as VW names its smartphone
integration, that can be linked via Bluetooth, becoming an infotainment system
with on-board computer and navigation function. Other changes made to the cabin
include updated seat fabrics and optional automatic air-con and multi-function
steering wheel.
Along with the two familiar petrol
engines, producing 60 PS and 75 PS, there is a new 1.0-liter
TSI turbocharged 3-cylinder unit joining the range, rated at 90 PS and
paired to a manual transmission.
On top of the regular Up!, Volkswagen
offers the Up! Beats special edition too, which is priced from € 13,150
(US$ 14,660). It has a new 300W audio system with an 8-channel amplifier, seven
high-end speakers, two tweeters, two woofers, two broadband speakers and a
subwoofer, plus special decals and larger alloy wheels.
