Volkswagen Up#Production

The production Up follows a series of concept cars, starting in 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.{{cite web|date=10 September 2007|title=Volkswagen up! concept|url=http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/vortex_news/article_2052.shtml|access-date=21 December 2009|work=VWvortex.com|publisher=Volkswagen AG}} The exterior was originally designed by the Brazilian designer Marco Pavone.{{cite web|date=28 October 2011|title=Volkswagen Up!: the design|url=http://www.carbodydesign.com/2011/10/volkswagen-up-the-design/|access-date=10 July 2016|publisher=carbodydesign}}{{cite web|date=4 September 2011|title=Interview with the designers of the up!|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NElej8Lhmt8 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/NElej8Lhmt8| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|access-date=10 July 2016|website=YouTube|publisher=Volkswagen}}{{cbignore}} This design was chosen and enhanced by Volkswagen Group Chief Designer Walter de'Silva, and Head Designer of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars marque, Klaus Zyciora. Shown at the Frankfurt launch were several further Up concepts, including a {{convert|98|hp|abbr=on}} GT version, a natural gas-powered Eco-up! (with {{CO2}} emissions of 79 g/km) and a four-door Cross model.

Where the Up concept used a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, the 2011 production model has a front-engine, front-wheel drive layout, using the NSF platform, with a 3-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine.{{cite web|date=21 August 2011|title=New VW Up unveiled|url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/258774/|access-date=30 August 2011|work=Autocar}}

It was originally reported that the Up concept would be produced under the name Lupo, like the Volkswagen Lupo that was discontinued in 2005.{{cite web|url=https://www.autoevolution.com/news/volkswagen-up-to-become-new-lupo-22495.html|title=Volkswagen up to Become New Lupo|date=16 July 2010}}{{cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/2010/vw-up-to-be-named-lupo-in-2011/|title = VW Up! To be Named Lupo in 2011}} Eventually this plan changed and the 2011 production model was named the Up.

At the International Motor Show Germany in 2011, Volkswagen unveiled the final version of the Up based on the Volkswagen New Small Family (NSF) modular architecture. The three-door bodywork is inspired by the 2007 concept Up, the engine range is 1.0-litre three-cylinder gasoline {{Convert|60|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|75|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. Both the three and five doors are available with engines running on CNG and called eco-Up. The Up is a front-wheel drive with transverse engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and is {{Convert|3.54|m|in}} long has a wheelbase of {{Convert|2.42|m|in|abbr=on}}. The cabin is configured to four seats.

The Up range included the Up GTI, which was previewed by the GT Up concept. Released in January 2018, the Up GTI feature a turbocharged version of the 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine producing {{Convert|115|PS|bhp kW|0|abbr=on}}.{{cite web |last=Aucock |first=Richard |url=http://cars.uk.msn.com/reviews/volkswagen-gt-up-concept-4 |title=Volkswagen GT up! concept - Car Reviews - MSN Cars UK |publisher=Cars.uk.msn.com |date=27 January 2012 |access-date=11 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120130053801/http://cars.uk.msn.com/reviews/volkswagen-gt-up-concept-4 |archive-date=30 January 2012 |url-status=dead }}{{Cite web |title=New 2018 Volkswagen up!

Along with the other two rebadged models, Up is the first car in its class to offer an automated braking system, called City Emergency Braking. The system is automatically activated at speeds below {{Convert|30|km/h|mi/h|0|abbr=on}}, when a laser sensor identifies a danger of collision and activates the brakes. In the SEAT model, the system is marketed as the City Safety Assist and in the Škoda model it is called City Safe Drive.{{cite web|title=VW Up vs Seat Mii vs Škoda Citigo: which is the better buy?|url=http://recombu.com/cars/articles/vs/vw-up-vs-seat-mii-vs-skoda-citigo-which-is-the-better-buy|publisher=Recombu|access-date=16 December 2012|date=1 May 2012}}

The Up was introduced on the German market on 3 December 2011. Deliveries to other European markets began in April 2012.{{Citation needed|date=January 2013}}

In 2013, Volkswagen introduced the cross up! model, which has 15 mm more ground clearance than the standard model, and comes with plastic side skirts and wheel-arch flares as standard.Autoevolution (ed.): [https://www.autoevolution.com/cars/volkswagen-cross-up-2013.html#aeng_volkswagen-cross-up-2013-10-5at-75-hp VOLKSWAGEN cross up! specs], 8 September 2020, retrieved 19 August 2021

The SEAT Mii limited production started in October 2011 for the European market, with sales having started at the end of 2011. The final version was launched in May 2012.

The Up was sold in Australia until 2015, when it was withdrawn due to slow sales. Plans for the Škoda Citigo to be sold in Australia were also shelved.

At the Geneva Motor Show in 2016, the model sold in Europe received a facelift and the new TSI engine, that went on sale in the summer the same year.{{cite web |date=2016-06-23 |title=VW Up!

In February 2014, Volkswagen introduced a modified version of the Up for Latin America. Built in Brazil, the Latin American Up differs from its European counterpart in length (it is {{convert|65|mm|1|abbr=on}} longer), thanks to revisions to the floorpan's rear section to accommodate a larger fuel tank (50 L instead of Europe's 35 L), a full-sized spare wheel and increased cargo space. All versions have revised tailgates with a painted metal section (like the Seat Mii's and Škoda Citigo's) instead of the dark glass trim used in Europe. The five-door Brazilian Up also uses a different rear door design with sectioned glass and wind-down windows. The South American model retains the European version's safety levels with a five-star crash rating{{cite web|title=VW 'up!' joins Latin NCAP's growing 'five star' club of safer cars for adult occupant protection|url=http://www.latinncap.com/en/news/852d407473feff/vw-%E2%80%98up!%E2%80%99-joins-latin-ncap%E2%80%99s-growing-%E2%80%98five-star%E2%80%99-club-of-safer-cars-for-adult-occupant-protection|access-date=7 February 2014|work=LatinNCAP}} and ample use of high-strength steel elements.{{cite web|title=up! brings the best of VW engineering in a compact, efficient package (IN PORTUGUESE)|url=http://www.vwbr.com.br/ImprensaVW/Release.aspx?id=d6856698-776a-4255-a8bc-2541f5b8e2b1|access-date=7 February 2014|work=Volkswagen do Brasil}}

In April 2019, ordering for the Up GTI was halted in the United Kingdom, but in January 2020 VW UK started taking orders again for a lightly refreshed version. The refresh included small optional equipment changes, but no alterations to the powertrain, chassis or brakes. As of January 2023, new orders for the Up GTI were closed to allow time to complete orders before the GTI model ceased production.

The Škoda Citigo is a rebadged version of the Up, with slightly different front and rear fascias. The Citigo was launched in the Czech Republic in October 2011. It began sales in other European countries from summer 2012. It was manufactured at the Volkswagen Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia. Plans for sales in Russia and most other CIS countries were cancelled due to its dimensions being deemed too small for the market. The Škoda Citigo was also sold in Israel and New Zealand for a short time. The Citigo was slightly updated with a facelift model in 2017. A fully electric version, the Škoda Citigo-e iV, with a 36.8kWh battery capacity and a range of 270 km (165 miles) under WLTP standard, was mass-produced from autumn 2019 and replaced the combustion engine version.Luke Wilkinson.

The SEAT Mii, like the Citigo, is a rebadged version of the Up, with noticeable differences to the front and rear fascias. The Mii was launched in the Spanish home market simultaneously with the Up and Citigo in October 2011. It began sales in other European countries from the second quarter of 2012. It was manufactured at the Volkswagen Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia.{{cite web|url= https://www.goauto.com.au/future-models/seat/mii/vw-owned-brand-seat-all-about-mii/2011-10-04/11791.html|title= Spanish brand Seat adds its piece to the VW Up city-car puzzle with Mii three-door|publisher=GoAuto|date=October 4, 2011|access-date=July 24, 2023}} Primarily sold in Europe, it received no noticeable facelifts, unlike the Citigo.

From 2007 through to 2010 Volkswagen showed a number of concept versions of the Up prior to the launch of the production-ready version in 2011.

The two-door Up concept debuted at the 2007 IAA International Motor Show Germany in Germany, with a rear-wheel drive, rear-mounted, boxer engine and 18 inch wheels.

The interior is designed to accommodate four adults, and features flat-folding, air inflatable seats. It also has two monitors on the dashboard, one showing vehicle statistics and the other controlling the in-car multimedia system. The car measures {{convert|3.45|m|ftin|0}} in length and has a width of {{convert|1.63|m|ftin|0}}.

The four-door four-seater mini MPV styled space up! concept car debuted at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show in Japan.{{cite web|title=Volkswagen space up!|url=http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/volkswagen_news/article_2083.shtml|publisher=Volkswagen AG|work=VWvortex.com|date=23 October 2007|access-date=21 December 2009}}

The Space Up concept had all the features of the first concept, but with four-doors and {{convert|23|cm|1}} longer at {{convert|3.68|m|ftin|0}} ({{convert|15|cm|1}} shorter than the Volkswagen Fox). The 'butterfly' doors open in a similar manner to those on the Mazda RX-8; the front doors conventionally hinged at the front, whilst the rears are hinged at the rear from the C-pillar, eliminating the B-pillar. Its wheelbase is also larger at {{convert|2.56|m|ftin|0}} but retains the same width as the Up at {{convert|1.63|m|ftin|0}}.

Also for the first time Volkswagen showed images of its internal combustion engine, a Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) petrol engine.

The four-seater space up! blue concept, the third variant of the Volkswagen Up concept series, debuted at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show.{{cite web|title=Volkswagen introduces space up! blue at Los Angeles|url=http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/volkswagen_news/article_2128.shtml|publisher=Volkswagen AG|work=VWvortex.com|date=14 November 2007|access-date=21 December 2009}}

The Space Up Blue was visually the same as the Space Up and shared its length and width, but it included a different roof with a 150 watt solar cell which recharges the batteries. This means its height increases to {{convert|1.57|m|ftin|0}} and the curb weight is a {{convert|1090|kg|0|abbr=on}}.

Twelve lithium-ion batteries give the Space Up Blue {{convert|45|kW|PS bhp|0|lk=off|abbr=on}} of power and a {{convert|65|mi|0}} range. Combined with Volkswagen's world's first hydrogen high temperature fuel cells (HT-FC), range is extended by {{convert|155|mi|-1}} giving total range of {{convert|220|mi|-1}}.

The two-door Volkswagen e-up! zero-emissions concept debuted at the 63rd International Motor Show Germany in 2009.{{cite web|title=Volkswagen e-Up! concept|url=http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/article_2661.shtml|publisher=Volkswagen AG |work=VWvortex.com|date=14 September 2009|access-date=21 December 2009}}

The {{convert|3.19|m|ftin|0}} long all-electric E-up uses a 3+1 seat configuration. It uses a {{convert|60|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}} (continuously rated at {{convert|40|kW|PS bhp|0|abbr=on}}) all-integrated drive electric motor, mounted at the front and drives the front wheels. This electric motor generates a torque turning force of {{convert|210|Nm|lb·ft|abbr=on|0}} from rest. Power is sourced from 18 kilowatt-hours (kWh) lithium-ion batteries, which will give a range up to {{convert|130|km|0|abbr=in}}. Quick charging will charge the battery up to 80% in an hour, while a regular 230 volt plug will take five hours.{{cite web|url=http://paultan.org/2009/09/15/31-seater-volkswagen-e-up-concept-ev/|title=3+1 seater Volkswagen up! concept EV|work=PaulTan.org|date=15 September 2009|access-date=21 December 2009}} The roof of the E-up has a 1.4 square metre solar cell which supplies power to the vehicle's electrics, and when parked can power ventilation fans to help cool the interior when parked in bright sunlight on a hot day. The solar cells can be increased in size to a total area of 1.7 square metre by folding down the sun visors.

With a curb weight of {{convert|1085|kg|0|abbr=on}}, it can accelerate from rest to {{convert|100|km/h|1|abbr=on}} in 11.3 seconds; and should reach a top speed of {{convert|135|km/h|1|abbr=on}}. The E-up concept is {{convert|3.19|m|ftin|0}} long, {{convert|1.64|m|ftin|0}} wide, {{convert|1.47|m|ftin|0}} high, and has a wheelbase of {{convert|2.19|m|ftin|0}}.

Interior equipment includes a touch-screen human machine interface (HMI), one notable feature allows the charge to be delayed within the HMI programming, utilising cheap-rate night-time electricity—and this can also be remotely programmed via an iPhone or similar device.

The Up! Azzurra Sailing Team concept debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany.

The Azzurra was designed to look and feel like a luxury yacht, with a fully waterproof interior, blue and white leather seats, and chrome and wood trim. The rear seats have wooden backs, so when they are folded down the trunk looks like the deck of a yacht. It has no roof, and wooden railings in place of the doors and rear hatch.{{cite news|title=Volkswagen on the rise with a variety of Up! concepts|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/14/volkswagen-up-concepts-azzurra-cross-up-eco-frankfurt-2011/|access-date=11 September 2017|work=autoblog.com|date=14 September 2011}}
