Volkswagen Up!

| Home / Volkswagen / List of Volkswagen Up Models without Timing Belt

The Volkswagen Up or Volkswagen Up!, is a city car (A-segment in Europe) produced by the German marque Volkswagen. This city car belongs to a new collection of cars which were first presented at the International Motor Show Germany in 2011.

This car belongs to a series of models known as the Volkswagen New Small Family Platform (NSF). This new platform, also called Typ AA or PQ12 Platform has been used in other cars from the Group VAG, such as the Seat Mii or the Skoda Citigo. The Volkswagen Taigun, a subcompact crossover SUV, was originally planned to be produced in that platform, although it was cancelled and later manufactured on a different platform, the Volkswagen Group MQB A0 IN. Instead of the Volkswagen Taigun, the PQ12 Platform hosted the Volkswagen T-Cross.

Since 2010, the Volkswagen Up! has a battery electric version, the E-Up. There are no thermal engines versions of this car available, since Volkwagen, following a strategy similar to that of Smart and Renault with the Twingo, has decided to leave the Up! as a 100% electric model. In addition, the design line that Volkswagen has taken to develop its new range of electric vehicles (ID.3, ID.4…) is strongly inspired by the Up!

The Up! substitutes the Volkswagen Fox, which was at the same time the successor of Volskwagen Lupo. There is only one generation of this vehicle.
