Nice video with no silly gimmicks, very nicely done. Love the minimalism of this car too, proper buttons and no annoying/distracting touch screen to contend with.

I’m just off to collect my e-up in a couple of hours and this was super helpful - thank you!

[kulimeya]

Thanks for the nice review, bridged another 12 minutes until I get mine in early november. Can't wait for it :D

[springer-qbdv]

Really nice affordable EV. Too bad it's not sold in US.

[DanielDrives]

I have to say - this is an excellent review!

[PeterPanQuails]

I wish VW would bring this e-UP to Australia. It would be a perfect car for my day-to-day drive to work.

[TonInter]

Great review, thanks. The car looks to be great as well, making choosing one even more stressful, hah.

[NOTAMV]

I can’t believe the Up! still doesn’t have a infotainment screen. It’s the most expensive of its kind and even one of the cheapest (Aygo) has a modern dashboard with big screen.

Really good review. Since learning about the e-up, I’m finding it hard to choose between purchasing the e-up or the polo manual. Any suggestions? Price wise will work out the same.

10:15 You got it wrong 🙄 You only pull back the lever to switch back and forth between D (Freewheeling) and B (regen level 4, maximum regen) it is actually extremely practical in comparison of more expensive EV cars as you have a wide range of strategies to recuperate energy, especially when driving downslope. You can let the car increase speed with gravity and pull back the lever at the best moment to maximize strong regen and braking before the road turn. If you go downwards in one pedal driving, you end up using more energy than by freewheeling.

Is the steering wheel distance adjustable? Very important for me

[oscare.quiros]

Very nice review. I love the e-Up, but my understanding is that is not produced any more in any of its three variants by January 2021.

[dcross]

Would different tyres help with road noise?

[elsoundgarden]

What about the gearbox? Is it smooth or bad like the citigo?

[vincent_hall]

Blue is standard but white is extra?
Who would pay to have white?!

[grevberg]

So what you really want is a 20.000 car that looks and functions like a 30.000 car.

[TheAlien]

Shame it hasn't got 16 inch wheels like the Skoda and seat

[PAAkhtar]

No heater vents on the centre of the with warm right hand but cold left hand. This is what made me NOT buy the car.
