"The Volkswagen e-up! Is a well-equipped and fast electric car, but the price tag will put some people off."
while it looks just like the standard up! City car, the Volkswagen e-up! is driven by an electric motor, and it is a credible alternative to other battery-powered cars like the Nissan Leaf, the Renault ZOE and the BMW i3.
Apart from the modern electric motor, the e-up! is familiar up! Driver, internally and externally. This means that you get a well built, compact city car with chunky styling and a funky dashboard design, would expect more space than you expect from a car this size along with passengers.
The electric-only model, the e-up! is powered by an engine with a 81bhp 0-62mph time of 12.4 seconds. While that does not sound very fast, the electric motor does not need his power to access routes to be accelerating importance is immediate, so the e-up! feels remarkably brisk from standstill.
During the e-up! has an impressive turn of speed and its 93 mile range is fine, it is somewhat hindered by its price: to be considered by government grants, the e-up! costs about £ 20,000 - more than twice as much as a gasoline-powered up!. The e-up! easily with generous equipment of the vehicle makes up for that, including heated front seats, automatic climate control, touchscreen navigation, automatic emergency braking and cruise control, but it is still expensive.

The e-up is just as practical as a normal car - as long as you have a driveway on which to charge it
Thanks to clever underfloor storage battery, the e-up! Benefits from the same 250-liter luggage compartment as standard up!. While this is not as big as the boat of the Nissan Leaf, the e-up! Car is a small, and the boot opening is well-formed -. while underfloor storage and folding rear seats more practicality add

The e-up! is well built and safe
During the e-up! not sell in large enough numbers have in our 2015 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, in the standard up! 56th of 0 cars came. Owner evaluate the above! 'S reliability, cost and ease of driving is performed while the standard up! bad scored for performance and in-car technology - something that the e-up! is likely to address thanks to its stronger performance and a good level of standard equipment. While some questions that remain the batteries' S electric motor means! About "longevity, the simplicity of the E-Up, from day to day reliability should also be a concern less than the standard car.

Despite is well equipped, the e-up! too expensive for most
Even after the £ 4,500 government "Category 1" to provide electric vehicle, the e-up! looks expensive. While it is cheaper than the Nissan Leaf and about the same price as the Renault ZOE, the fact that it is twice the price of an entry-level Volkswagen los! makes it seem expensive in comparison. In common with most electric cars, depreciation will occur are also expensive, with the e-up! only 32% of its value is maintained over three years.
Volkswagen do at least match the e-up! with frills: parking sensors, cruise control, automatic emergency braking, Navi, power mirrors, air conditioning and heated seats are going to form a path for the e-up's high list price !. No matter how you look at it, though, £ 20,000 is a lot of money to pay for a city car, whether electric or not.
