Why buy a used VW up!?

If you're in the market for a small and stylish city car, then a used VW up! is a great option. It provides highly economical motoring with no frills. Even though it's lacking many premium features, it's well-built, comfortable and is meant to last. It's also very practical for its size, and is enjoyable to drive, particularly around town where its small size is at its most useful.

Used Volkswagen up! buying guide

Engines and transmissions

With the newest models, the previous petrol and electric powertrains have been removed, leaving only one powertrain available.

Petrol
  • 1.0-litre engine creates 64bhp, which is plenty for getting around the city.
  • Doesn't offer rapid acceleration, with a 0-62mph time of around 15 seconds.
  • Efficiency is the priority, with ratings of around 50mpg, and newer models returning up to 55.4mpg.

Practicality

Even though it's a smaller model, the cabin is well laid out for maximum comfort. It also handles well in the city, making its way into smaller spots with ease.

Interior space
  • Room to hold four people in relative comfort.
  • Driver's seat and steering wheel are adjustable.
  • Minimalistic dashboard design.
Boot space
  • 251-litre boot space is cramped but accommodating.
  • Split-folding rear seats open up the boot space.
  • Boot lip forces users to lift cargo up for loading.
Bodystyles
  • Three-door hatchback design gives a sporty appearance.
  • Five-door hatchback makes it easier to get into the back seats.

Safety

  • 2019 Euro NCAP ratings only give the city car a three-star rating.
  • It holds up well in crash tests, but lacks some of the active safety technology (such as blindspot monitoring) needed to achieve a higher score
  • Only contains mandatory safety equipment.

Technology

  • Includes ‘composition phone’ radio for connectivity options.
  • 5-inch display is small, but an upgrade over previous models.
  • Rear-view camera and parking sensors are available on higher trims.

Volkswagen up! video review

Different generations of used Volkswagen up!

The up! first hit the scene in 2012 when it replaced the Volkswagen Fox. It's smaller than the first-generation Golf, and was intended from the outset to be an economical option for city driving. While it's still in its first generation, facelifts occurred in 2016 and 2020 that offered a more modern style and upgraded technologies.
