The Volkswagen Chico is a concept car made by Volkswagen in the summer of 1992. It was a study for a small 2+2 hatchback, and was powered by two engines: a {{cvt|34|PS|kW}} two-cylinder engine and an {{cvt|8|PS|kW}} electric motor, which could work in tandem for a boost in power. The Chico was never developed into any production model.

Volkswagen had previously used the name Chicco (with a double 'c') on another project car from 1975, which was of a similar size.{{cite web|title=From Beetle to Up!: A Brief History of Volkswagen's Entry-Level Cars|url=http://blog.caranddriver.com/from-beetle-to-up-a-brief-history-of-volkswagens-entry-level-cars/|website=Car and Driver |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151115073820/http://blog.caranddriver.com/from-beetle-to-up-a-brief-history-of-volkswagens-entry-level-cars/ |archive-date=15 November 2015 |date=1 September 2011 |last=Meiner |first=Jens}}

Chico was proposed as the name for an upcoming city car based on the Volkswagen up! concept car, which had been expected to be launched in the United States and the United Kingdom in July 2012. This would have been the smallest model of the up! range, with two doors and two seats.{{cite web|url= http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2012-volkswagen-chico.htm|title= 2012 Volkswagen Chico Review and Prices|last= Poole|first=Chris|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120719020954/http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2012-volkswagen-chico.htm|archive-date= 19 July 2012|url-status=dead|access-date=4 November 2013}}{{cite web|url= http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/concept-cars/exclusive-vws-smart|title= Exclusive: VW's Smart|last= Kable|first= Greg|work= Autocar|access-date=4 November 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131016040514/http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/concept-cars/exclusive-vws-smart|archive-date= 16 October 2013|url-status= live}}
