Product Overview

Volkswagen Up! facelift is an entry-level subcompact hatchback in production from 2016. It is available with a range of inline-3 engines that displaced 1.0 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift model, the facelift brought marginal updates. It has a basic mechanical setup and is not designed for high speed, long distance, or longevity.

The Volkswagen Up is limited to inline-3, which has horrible NVH performance and durability, a legacy of modern-day regulations.

Reviewer score 63% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The car’s 1.0-litre turbo triple has lots of mid-range poke and a likable willingness to work. Being so short and light, the car changes direction very freely, although with a little bit of roll and only a medium-high grip level. A more typical hot supermini feels more adhesive and naturally agile, but the Up communicates its limits well and makes driving up to them more engrossing than many would think.

Pros

Looks and feels good
Lots of fun to drive

Cons

No automatic gearbox
Pricier than the original

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The Volkswagen up! is more sophisticated than its size and looks suggest. It's comfortable, feels stable on the road and is enjoyable to drive. Power comes from a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine producing 64bhp. All cars get a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, except for the up! GTI.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

Short gearing
Lack of standard equipment
