The ever growing appeal of the Volkswagen’s small car, up! has been further boosted with the addition of extra doors, two new lifestyle derivatives, cross up! and colour up! as well as infotainment option, Touch & More.
Since its local launch in February 2015, up! has only been offered as a 3-door model. Customers now have an option of buying a 5-door or 3-door Take up! and Move up! derivatives.
To date, Volkswagen up! has sold over 3 550 units in South Africa which makes one of the dominant models in the A00 small car segment.
Furthermore, two new derivatives have been added into the model range. Both are powered by the 1.0 55kW engine and mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
