He is small and agile – this saves the search, the nerves in the Parking lot. Also convincing is the HU data and the breakdown behavior of the VW Up. With a few exceptions, the Smallest of the VW as a second-hand quite reliably.

Berlin (dpa/tmn) – The VW Up is the Smallest in the barn, the wolf Burger. He is a popular small, can’t store much. But as agile and mobile in the Parking lot he search is easier on the nerves. With him, VW took its first steps in terms of a standard E-mobility – before the E-Golf.

model history: The Up came in 2011, initially only as a Three-and, later, as a five-door hatchback. The model of care by 2016 brought, among other things, re-shaped headlights with LED daytime running lights and more color options for the exterior paint, as well as a new three-cylinder engine with 66 kW/90 PS (1.0 TSI).

Strengths: Agile (9,80-metre turning circle) and for the class of the small car, spacious. Well-coordinated and unobtrusive chassis. Wear-resistant brake lines, also brake hoses and discs cut in the main study (HU) better than average, so the “Auto Bild Tüv Report, 2019”. Good safety equipment (ESP and six Airbags as standard). No relevant loss of Oil to the engine and the transmission.

weaknesses: the function of the foot and hand brake from HU to HU worse; often verstelltes dipped beam check the first Duty. Also at the first appointment of the auditor to chalk more often than the average exhaust system. Mediocre build quality.

breakdown behavior: With a view to its official breakdown statistics of the ADAC writes: “The Up lands at the front of the midfield and cut off sometimes well.” As the main focus of the ADAC calls the defect in the Parking brake for the years 2012 and 2013.

engines: diesel: three cylinder 44 kW/60 HP to 85 kW/115 PS (GTI since 2018); no Diesel; natural gas version with 50 kW/68 PS (since 2012); electric version of E-Up 60 kW/82 HP (since 2013).
