Ordered one about a month ago.
Cost around 18200 Euro, with almost all extra options(not the biggest rims, missing interior ambient lighting and some other "useless" stuff) and 3 years of services included aswell.

With todays electric prices this costs under 0, 2 euro per 10km of driving here in Norway, which means that we save 70-100 euro per month in petrol/diesel only

You save 300 euro per year in "road tax".

You get half price on toll roads(some places its free with electric)
Alot of places you can park for free aswell.

Will keep our other car for longer distance travelling, but this will be our daily driver for sure!

Have one now for 6 month. Really like it.
Quick in town. Silent on the highway.
Not for 1.000 km journeys. But 250km drives, very much ok!
On the highway about 120W/km. City around 10W/km.
Charging at home at 11KW (3 phase). Fastcharging at app 30KW.

For distance we have a Z4 35is. Kids are all grown up and leave us pretty much alone on our travels :)
Solarpanels on the roof means that we drive for free with kWh's to spare.

Thx for the review.

Yes, very good Review, detail and commentary AJ - many thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.

I wish VW would bring these to the USA. I noticed many things that remind me of my classic Beetle (metal on interior of doors, pop out windows etc.). Really love it.

Good work and great review, AJ. The design is quite basic, but also very practical for urban driving. The increase in range over the previous version is very good and will be much appreciated by e-up! buyers. Using a smart phone as an alternative to an expensive infotainment system makes sense in this segment as most people already have a phone. One place where it's let down however is the lack of padded armrests on the doors. One point about electric cars is although one pays a higher price initially, you save a lot in running costs since the cost of electricity is much less than petrol. Thanks Autogefuhl and cheers!

I would happily pay more for Xenon or LED lights, I really hate halogen lights...

[gc_tmg]

Thank you for the complete review!
I think the UP is a four seat car, as I didn't see the rear central belt

[jones]

Great review! I’m seriously thinking about getting one of these. Think it would be great as second car and for my daily commuting just like you mentioned.

[broadsword]

You can say “throttle” or “gas pedal”. They are heritage terms. In a few decades there will be YouTube vids telling us “why do we say ‘step on the gas’?”

[tomhirschel]

Great review Thomas.
VW need to release a "mini" ID3, or keep improving the VW UP! City cars NEED to be small.
In time prices will come down. For now, it will sell in small numbers, due to cost.

[colinkrefting]

I don't see why city cars aren't sold in US/Canada

[marcopino]

Nice video. I actually ordered one and waiting for vw to tell me when delivery will begin.

[MsPokey]

Here's what I want for my FIRST Electric Car: BASIC Car ( K. I. S.S.) ~ Charge on 110vac~ No Computers ~ Digital Read outs ~ 100<200 Mile range ~ $10, 000 <$15, 000 price. I don't care about soft arm rests or back seat room! This EV stuff is all new to most of us & for most it will be a second car. Keep it simple

[neilturner]

Seems an odd cost decision to put high-drain halogen lights in an electric car. In the UK we commute to work in darkness for most of the year. I remember the early electric Smarts - switch the lights and wipers on and watch your range disappear! I’m sure things are better nowadays, but I would have expected eco-lights in an eco-commute car.

im picking mine up today at the dealer <3

[brobertson]

In the UK - I have a petrol Skoda Citigo. Bought it for just over £7000 (about EUR8200) just over 2 years ago. Its cheap to run and insure. The e-UP would be a good car, but at EUR23000, that is almost 3 times the cost. I do a large mileage and yet my fuel per year is around £2000, so even keeping the car for 4 years, the petrol car is still far cheaper than the electric car. If the public are going to buy small electric cars like this, then the price of a car like this needs to be reduced by around EUR10000 to make it competitive.

I wish they could change battery componenlt to removable. Just to make it easy to replace and cosy effective.

[ВіталійРемис]

чудовий огляд, все по темі сказано!
дякую!

[alexsteaua]

with the new e-up that has 260km range, is it possible to replace this battery with the old e-up, that only has 160km range?
