VW up! in three packets

The starting edition of Up! will be named "take up!". More comfortable will be middle edition "move up!". Highest version is "high up!" It is small difference against regular packets on e.g. VW Passat with versions like: Trendline, Comfortline, Highline.

None of these packets will  include the new  „City Emergency Braking System“ . This will prevent collision in speeds till 30km/h. The braking system is based on prevention of potential collisions and automatic braking. But for extra money.

What about Audi and New Small Family?

Audi, one of the brand of VW concern, is pretty quite with news about own model from New Small Family(NFS). Our knowledge about NFS is wide. Audi never said about his model belonging to this city car concept. Even in recent months Audi introduced A1. A1 is small car model, but very over-dimensioned against VW up!

Today we collect sketch photo of unkown model from Audi. What do you think? Will this model be a audi's contribution to new small family?

Sibling of VW UP from SKODA

Debuting four-seater model VW Up! brings questions to his concern brothers from Skoda and Seat brand. We got some news from Skoda. It is expected that the newname for the newcomer based on new small family platform will be the name of the original concept Urban Car presented 2006 marked as Joyster. Skoda Joyster will compete for models like the Peugeot 107 and Toyota iQ.

The advantage of the VW Group is to allow other brands such as Skoda and SEAT - as well as a new partner Suzuki to build variants of the vehicle for markets worldwide. Details of the engines are not sure, but it is likely skoda will use in Joyster 1.2-liter diesel and 1.0-liter petrol engine. Engine power of Skoda Joyster will live and also its importance will focus on low emissions and the 80g/km for diesel and less than 100g/km for petrol engines.

Skoda cheapest price is set at € 9000 and as at VW, electric version will follow.
