Product Gallery
Product Overview
Volkswagen e-Up! facelift is an entry-level subcompact hatchback in production from 2019. It is powered by 83hp of electric power aided by a battery capacity of 37kWh.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, a markedly larger 36.8kWh battery is used, extending the EV range to over 250km. Still, this is barely sufficient for city duty, as is the case with the ICE Up!.
Compared to the ICE Up!, the same disadvantages can be found here.

Reviewer score 75%Volkswagen’s up city car has been with us since 2011, while the electrified version was its first mass-production EV to reach the market when it arrived in 2013. The e-Up is the next EV to benefit from the latest-gen technology. The big news is a new lithium-ion battery with 36.8kWh capacity, compared to just 18.7kWh for the old car. Volkswagen claims up to 161 miles (260km) on a full charge.

Pros
- Stylish design
- Powerful electric motor
Cons
- Expensive for what’s inside

Reviewer score 50%The e-Up is something of a nipping specialist. It’s small enough and brisk enough to seize opportunities in traffic that other cars couldn’t. It feels suited to the urban environment in a similar way to the BMW i3. On a route of mixed A-road and motorways at normal speeds, it’ll get 110 miles out of a full charge.

Pros
- Sleek design

- Decent range
Cons
- Not as practical as rivals
- Not as spacious as rivals

Reviewer score 65%The Volkswagen e-up! has been given an important task as it charges towards its ninth year on sale. It doesn't receive a new identity under the ID umbrella as it's not based on the group's MEB platform. Instead, this is a facelift that showcases just how fast battery technology is developing. It's still based on a modified combustion engine platform, but within the same space as the previous version of this electric city car. It now sits a more energy dense 36.8kWh battery - that's almost double the capacity, and it means maximum range leaps up to 162 miles.
