Price and range of the Volkswagen e-up!

Discover everything about the Volkswagen e-up! city electric car, available since 2013, facelifted in 2017, with a new battery since 2019.

Design and dimensions of the Volkswagen e-up!

The design of the e-up! differs from the diesel and petrol up! models by a few details. The LED daytime running lights stand out by surrounding the front bumper. On the sides, the side skirts and underbody have been made more aerodynamic. Similar to GTIs with their red trim, the e-up! also has its distinctive features. The highlight of the grille under the Volkswagen logo and the blue base of the rear hatch, along with the rims, allow the car to stand out from other models.

Range and charging of the e-up!

The Volkswagen e-up! is completely silent thanks to its 61 kW electric motor, equivalent to 83 horsepower. Its average consumption is between 12.7 and 12.9 kWh/100 km depending on the WLTP cycle. It can deliver up to 212 Nm of torque and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.9 seconds. Its top speed is 130 km/h.

The small electric car has evolved well over time. When it was released in 2013, it had an 18.7 kWh battery providing 141 km of range in the NEDC cycle. The Volkswagen e-up! 2.0 now features a 32.3 kWh battery, increasing its range to 260 km in WLTP cycle.

Charging is done via a connector located behind the fuel cap. A connector allows recharging the city car in AC or DC. With a maximum power system of 40 kW, the Volkswagen e-up! 2.0 can regain 80% of its battery capacity in 30 minutes, compared to 3.5 hours with a 7 kW wallbox or 14 hours on a standard 230 V socket.
