The smallest Volkswagen is becoming yet more colourful
and sharper still. In late summer of 2016 the second series of the Volkswagen
up! will be launched in Europe - with newly designed body panels, new colours,
new wheels, new individualisation options, new equipment, a completely
redesigned interior, a new infotainment system and an outstanding new engine
that offers a significant boost in performance and torque. Volkswagen presents
the new version of the up! to the public for the first time at the 2016 Geneva
Motor Show. The up! has been one of Europe's most successful small cars for
five years. In countries such as Germany and the Netherlands it is the number 1
in its segment. However, the VW up! has also enjoyed great success outside
Europe, with strong performance in markets such as Brazil, Japan and South
Africa.
New design and interior elements
Every version of the VW up! presented at the 2016
Geneva Motor Show will come with new headlights (with LED daytime running
lights as standard), new bumpers, a prominent rear diffuser, newly designed
tail lights, new exterior mirror housings with integrated indicator lights, new
colours and décors for the dashpad (dashboard styling panel) as well as new
seat designs. Just like the larger Volkswagens, the latest up! is now also
available with the "Light and Sight" package ("Coming home"
and "Leaving home" functions as well as rain sensors). Fog lamps will
now also feature cornering lights. Volkswagen is also offering the up! with a multi-function
steering wheel and Pure Air Climatronic (automatic air conditioning) for the
first time. Pure Air includes an air quality sensor with an active biogenic
filter that keeps the atmosphere in the cabin at a consistently high level and
prevents pollutants, fungal spores or allergens from entering via the system.
The outstanding new 1.0 TSI engine available in the
new Volkswagen up! offers an efficient and engaging drive. This turbocharged
direct petrol injection (TSI) delivers a powerful 66 kW/90 PS. The maximum
torque of 160 Nm is available from 1,500 rpm. The three-cylinder engine is the
first turbo for the up! and the most powerful motor available in the model to
date. It delivers truly dynamic performance with a top speed of 185 km/h, and
takes just 10 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h. This VW up! even strives to
match the driving performance of the first Golf GTI. Its dynamism is paired
with high efficiency: 4.4 l/100 km (equating to 102 g/km CO2) mean that the up!
1.0 TSI can cover up to 800 km on a single tank of fuel. The sporting nature of
the most powerful new up! is emphasised by the visible exhaust pipe.
Another innovation in the new VW up! is its smartphone
integration. Just connect the smartphone above the dashpad, pair via Bluetooth
and it becomes an infotainment system with navigation system and on-board
computer functions, thanks to the Volkswagen app.
New up! beats with a 300 W sound system
Coinciding with the market launch of the new VW up!,
Volkswagen is offering a new equipment version: the up! beats. This is a car
whose overall concept is defined by sound because it comes with a 300 W sound
system - from the American audio specialists BeatsAudio™ as standard. In this
case, smartphone integration also comes as standard.
As you like it - the up! offers a new level of
customisation
The Volkswagen up! is a dynamic little car that makes
mobility fun. With the new series, Volkswagen is putting the spotlight even
more clearly on the individuality of each up! So the up! presented in Geneva
comes with a choice of 13 body colours, 9 exterior decals, ten new dashpad
designs, three roof colours, three design packs, two colour packs and two basic
colours for the interior trim ("Titanium Black" and
"Ceramique"), coloured alloy wheels and individualised-colour ambient
light available for the top-of-the-range models.
Exterior colours
Of the 13 colours available, seven are new: "Teal
Blue", "Coral Red", "Costa Azul" (blue), "Honey
Yellow", "Edelweiss" (white), "Blueberry" and
"Savanna Gold".
Dashpad designs
Depending on the body colour, interior trim and model,
VW up! buyers can choose from a selection of ten new dashpad designs, using an
innovative labelling process that allows an even greater degree of
customisation.
More engines
Previously the range of engines comprised two
three-cylinder units with multi-point injection (MPI) that deliver 44 kW/60 PS
or 55 kW/75 PS. This duo of 1.0 litre petrol engines has now been augmented by
the sporty new 1.0 TSI (66 kW/90 PS). As a zero-emission vehicle, the e-up!
cruises through the city (60 kW/82 PS). Drivers who prefer natural gas can
still opt for the eco up! (50 kW/68 PS).
More standard equipment
A total of seven trim levels are available: take up!,
move up!, high up! and eco up! (all of which are available as two- and
four-door versions) as well as the load up!, cross up! and e-up! (each
available as a four-door version). An overview of the vehicle equipment
upgrades:
·
take up! In
future, the base version take up! will come with features such as LED daytime
running lights, LED licence plate lighting, door mirror casings with integrated
indicators, a chrome trim strip between the headlights as well as
remote-controlled central locking. The gloss black application on the centre
console (with heating and ventilation controls; plus optional climate controls
and radio) is framed by a narrow chrome strip.
·
move up! In
contrast to the first series, the move up! is the first model in the revised
range to feature the newly developed "Composition" radio system, a
USB port, an enlarged multi-function display and a customised "Black
Cube" design dashpad as standard.
·
high up! In
the high up! the additional features include a newly developed ambient lighting
system (white), a customised dashpad (with a choice of three versions of the
"Pixels" design), heated front seats, a multifunction steering wheel,
six loudspeakers, fog lamps with integrated static cornering lights and the new
15-inch "Radial" alloy wheels. Air conditioning still comes as
standard.
·
cross up!
New features on board the all-terrain version cross up! are the
"cross-look" dashpad and ambient lighting (orange).
·
e-up!. The
new e-up! is characterised by the new "Shark Skin" design dashpad and
ambient lighting (blue), a light and rain sensor as well as the new smartphone
integration feature.
More equipment packages
Volkswagen is also offering three new roof packs
designed to match the paint schemes - including roofs painted in contrasting
black, white or grey as well as contrasting colour door mirror caps and tinted
rear windows. Other additions to the range are three design packs, including a
dashpad, design decals for the exterior, and contrasting door mirror caps. The
range of equipment packages is rounded off by the colour packs, with the VW up!
being given a final eye-catching flourish - along with the contrasting colours
"Hot Orange" or "Gold Beige" - with 16-inch alloy wheels,
design decals for the body and matching door mirror caps.
New up! beats - perfect sound, powered by beats
The American audio specialist Beats Electronics -
founded in 2008 by the rapper Dr. Dre - made a big impact on the music scene,
primarily with its headphones. Now the Californian company also offers a wide
range of other technologies, including full in-car sound systems. Volkswagen is
unveiling these BeatsAudio™ sound systems for the first time at the 2016 Geneva
Motor Show in the Polo and in the new up!. In the case of this city specialist,
this results in a completely new equipment version: the up! beats. The sound
system's 300-watt and 8-channel amplifier is fitted with a digital signal
processor (DSP). To ensure crystal-clear sound, the system has seven high-end
loudspeakers distributed around the interior: two tweeters in the A-pillars,
two woofers in the front doors, two broadband loudspeakers in the back as well
as a subwoofer integrated in the spare wheel well, which delivers powerful,
punching bass tones.
up! beats equipment
The Volkswagen up! beats also has added customised
flair thanks to the new 15-inch alloy wheels, special beats design decals and
contrasting colour door mirror caps. In the interior, an individual dashpad, a
special door sill plate as well as colour-coordinated seat belts to match the
new equipment version give the car a very distinctive look. The up! beats also
comes with smartphone integration and ambient lighting (white) as standard.
Two new radio systems
Volkswagen has given smartphone integration a complete
make-over. A new infotainment generation has been developed: the Composition
system, with a 3.1-inch monochrome display, and the top-of-the-range
Composition Phone system with a 5.0-inch colour display. Both of the systems
feature a twin tuner, AUX IN connection and SD card slot. The base system also
has a CD player, while Composition Phone has a Bluetooth interface with
hands-free function. The Composition Phone system also offers a rear view camera,
available for the first time in the up! As an option, both of the systems can
be supplemented by a DAB+ (digital radio receiver), the Sound Plus package
(with six loudspeakers) as well as a USB port (in the centre console). The
Composition Phone system is also available with the new smartphone integration
feature and the BeatsAudio™ sound system.
Smartphone integration
"Maps + More dock" can be used to integrate
current smartphones, running either Apple or Android, into the Composition
Phone's control system, simply by connecting the smartphone above the centre
console and pairing it with the radio system via Bluetooth. The Volkswagen app
"Maps + More dock" can now be used to run "Navigation"
(offline navigation without roaming costs, 2D or 3D map mode), "MFA"
(multi-function display with vehicle data), "Phone" (with hands-free
kit), "Think Blue. Trainer." (energy-saving tips), "E-charging
Manager" (in the e-up), "Car Function" (various vehicle
functions), "Media Control" (access to music details, display title,
artist and cover, search function with handwriting recognition) and "Radio
Control" (selection of FM, AM or DAB+; display, search and save radio
stations). The smartphone integration system also includes a USB port that can
be used to transfer data or for charging.
