Volkswagen colour up!, a new special edition for the little German

The Volkswagen up! is currently the smallest and cheapest model you can buy with the VW logo on its nose.

A small city-focused car that now enhances its appeal with a new special edition that improves, above all, its looks.

Built to be cheap and practical, the up! stands out for its ease of use and carefree styling. Both Seat and Skoda have their own versions, called Mii in the Spanish case and Citigo in the Czech case. Thanks to a joint design and development process, the price could be lowered even further.

However, not everything about this car is focused on being cheap, as the brand’s managers wanted to make the up! a stylish city car -as far as possible- and attractive to the eye. That is why the brand sells it in different trims such as black up! or white up!.

The edition in question now is called colour up!, and aims to give it a more carefree and youthful touch. Externally, the colour up! stands out from its siblings in the range thanks to details such as front fog lights as standard and 17″ “Poligon” alloy wheels, also included in the base equipment.

Both the wheels and the exterior mirror caps, as well as the lower door vinyls, can be painted in contrast with the body colour, which combined with the darkened rear windows results in a very cool little car. Inside, the dashboard panel is also painted in the same body colour, and chrome details have been added at various points to improve the look.

Mechanically the colour up! receives no changes, so it will be available with either of the current engines, both 1.0 MPI three-cylinder units, in 60 and 75 CV outputs. The transmission can be a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed ASG automated manual.
