Volkswagen Up

The Volkswagen Up, often written Volkswagen up!, is a city car produced by the Volkswagen Group from 2011 to 2023.

Name
The name "up!" was taken from the prototype of the same name and is derived from the middle letters of the previous Volkswagen Lupo model. A tactic that was repeated in the Volkswagen Iroc prototype, which also borrows the middle letters from the name of the Volkswagen Scirocco.

Overview

The vehicle is part of the modular "New-Small-Family" platform. The development was originally intended to be developed with a rear engine; however, due to the cost implications of developing new engines and transmissions from scratch, this was later discarded.
