| Volkswagen .... UP! |
Volkswagen moves on up! In SA
Volkswagen has joined the brigade of super-small cars. Meet
the VW up! It's just arrived in South Africa.
Move over Mercedes' li'l Smart, there's a new baby car in
town! Volkswagen's up! Is full of charisma with potential to become the leader
of A00 segment, says the automaker. The up!, launching in Cape Town this week -
made its global debut in 2011 and will be introduced below Volkswagen's Polo
Vivo and Polo, which have been the top two best-selling passenger models in
South Africa since 2010.
The up! is powered by one-litre three-cylinder, quad-valve
petrol engine. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Standstill
to 100km/h takes 13.2sec and top speed is 171km/h. General fuel consumption is
listed as 4.7 litres/100km while emitting 108g/km of CO2.
The up! is available in two trim levels: Take up! and Move
up! Each is competitively priced and offers a high level of standard equipment.
A raft of safety features is standard. At 3.54m long, 1.64m wide and 1.48m
tall, the up! is one of the world's smallest four-seater cars. Its overall
length consists of short body overhangs and a long wheelbase of 2.42m; turning
circle 9.8m.
However, the four-seater has one of the longest wheelbases
in the segment, along with the engine mounted forward, making loads of space
available inside the car. Something the original Mini started 50 years ago. The
251-litre boot is also significantly larger than is typical in this class. When
the rear seat is fully folded, cargo space increases to 951 litres.
Volkswagen up! is sold with a three-year or 120 000km
warranty, a 12-year anti-corrosion warranty and 15 000km service intervals.
Contact your nearest Volkswagen dealership to find out more.
God Bless
