The city car is powered by an electric motor with 82 hp and 210 Nm of torque. As a result, the e-up! accelerates from 0 to 60 km/h in 4.9 seconds and achieves a top speed of 130 km/h. Its lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 18.7 kWh. The average range is thus said to be up to 160 kilometers, depending on the route profile, driving style and payload. Its consumption of 11.7 kWh/100 per 100 kilometers corresponds to an average driving cost of around 2.40 francs per 100 kilometers.

Options such as a rearview camera, a panoramic sunroof and new exterior colors also leave plenty of room for individual wishes. Despite this, the new e-up! has not become more expensive. The new e-up! will be on Swiss roads from the end of 2016. The natural gas-powered version will remain on offer. The eco-up! with its 1.0-liter CNG engine produces 68 hp. The natural gas runabout from Volkswagen can also be ordered now and is available with a manual five-speed transmission from 17,300 Swiss francs.
