I own the Seat version of this with my parents and use it as my first car. It’s VERY fun, and I love how I can park it basically anywhere!

USB port is behind the phone holder 😊. We love our E-Up. Only paid 17000€ for it in France and it's fully loaded with options. It's super efficient (between 8 and 12 kWh/100).

Mark, great review on a 'proper' car! A small 'city'/urban' car. So well designed. As you may have gathered i am an VW UP! owner... a 75bhp High Up, 2016 model. Has covered over 96k miles..yes almost 100, 000 miles without missing a 'beat'! Has all the toys i will ever use. And built to last! Had the 'misfortune' to have to have Citroen C1....what a pile of ****! As for capacity i can put two lawn mowers in the back! Mine is a 2 door. I could go on! Amazing car! Be it the R Line, GTi or E-Up...and yes being a Lancashire bloke i too have made the joke.

I love mine. costs about 22k over here in Norway since there is no VAT on EV's. Best city car ever and easily goes 250km on a charge in the summer, 150 in winter

Have it on lease for nearly 2 years now. Pros: size, manoeuvrability, fun to drive. Cons: Aircon will ALWAYS go back to 22ºc to boil you at summer, my iron board is comfier than the seats, and the most important thing: ALWAYS turn off the lane detector or you'll end up facing road signs, road cons or even a concrete bollard if you're extremely lucky.

I own the exact same config, with Upsilon rims and white/black roof. Even if it's not a common car if you think about "What car do you think looks great?", but I really love the design. The rims look fantastic, the stormtrooper color scheme looks great, the proportions of the car are perfect. Easily my favorite non-sportscar overall design.

Usb slot is on the top of the dash just behind the phone mount 😊

It's just been announced that the UK is to get the Dacia Spring early next year and prices expected to be a few quid under £20k. Now there making a right hand drive version, hopefully Ireland will get it aswell and with competitive pricing it really could change the EV market for both the UK and Ireland with more affordable EV city cars that have only been sold in mainland Europe.

Just imagine back in 2014 in Dublin I bought a brand new Passat Highrtline 2.0 diesel, 2 tone leather, fully loaded for the same kind of .money. Unbelievable...

If comparing Nissan Leaf and MG4 this car is very expensive. VW needs to drop 5k euro on this car. Wonder why VW is complaining that their EV cars are not selling?

[davidmacdonald]

Terrific little car. Hired one through Onto in the UK, whilst we waited for our ID4. Madly, Onto don’t seem to hire them anymore.

I believe the USB socket is on the dash top behind the phone holder’s mounting.

[davidkinsella]

They should take the grant reduction and add it to small EVs under €35-40k to get more small cars on the roads rather than crossovers. Too many people driving SUVs/crossovers for their family of 1 child that would fit into a Kona/ID.3.

[jrushen]

That car hasn't dated at all. Timeless. Love it.

[mrkevinmurphy]

Cool little car but 5k too expensive.

And just FYI, this is a lot cheaper than a Honda e, which was 35k on the road a couple of years ago when I bought mine (Advance spec the only one available here). So prob even more at this stage.

[MKTED]

will it out sell the MG4 i don't think so...but you brought up an interesting point my daughter had a stroke when she was 20 she's now 30 but taking lessons to learn to drive in an ICE car was just to difficult for her.. we bought the id3 and i took her out for a lesson...in B mode she could drive the car and found it much easier...don't see many L schools using EV yet though...

Just after buying one today at 17500 euro plus first service free for a brand new 2024 car in Kings Red Metallic. Chuffed with the deal. We already have an EV, and this will replace our run around car. Super solid and super comfortable on test drive. Really was a no brainer considering they were 27k euro 12 months ago

When there’s an MG4 for 27k, why would you pay 28 for this? 🤷‍♂️

What is wrong with that sealing rubber on the driver's window?
