Of course, its diminutive dimensions lend themselves well to urban driving, allowing the up! to weave in and out of traffic and slot into the smallest of parking spaces with ease. Nevertheless, this little Volkswagen is more practical than first impressions might suggest, particularly if you choose the five-door model.
Wisely, Volkswagen has elected to go with a four-seat cabin, which makes perfect sense since most city cars are unable to comfortably accommodate five adults. It also frees up more room for a surprising amount of cubby spaces, which are dotted around the cabin. Meanwhile a class-competitive 251-litre boot grows to a very useful 951-litre capacity whenever split-folding rear seats are dropped.
Entry-level up! models ride on 15-inch Fortaleza alloy wheels, feature a six-speaker sound system (with DAB radio) and a five-inch colour display. Other standard-issue tech includes driver aids such as Hill-hold Assist, Lane Assist and passive safety features such as multiple airbags, seatbelt reminders and ISOFIX child-seat preparation.
