In depth
The 2020 facelift brought a larger 32 kWh net battery pack and around 260 km WLTP (manufacturer figure, indicative). VW ended production in 2023. Reference model for spec look-up; no current new price. Owners report clearly less range in winter (public forums, not measured by us).
About the Volkswagen e-up! (2020-2023, 32 kWh)
This model is no longer available as a new car; Volkswagen ended Up! production in 2023. It is in the database as a historical reference: for looking up specifications and as input for switch orientation from an older small EV. There is deliberately no new price and no buy button; we are not a marketplace and do not act as intermediary in second-hand purchase. The introduction price (2020 facelift) is purely historical context, not a current value.
In practice
The 32 kWh net battery (from the 2020 facelift) reaches around 260 km WLTP (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging tops out around 40 kW (CCS, optional on older trims); 10-80% takes about 60 minutes under favourable conditions (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Owners report 's winters a noticeable lower range, often around 180-200 km (owner forums, historical, n approximately 18, not measured by us). Boot 251 l, four seats, no braked towing weight.
Points to note
The e-up shares technology with the Skoda Citigo-e iV and the Seat Mii electric, both also out of production. The infotainment is basic and leans heavily on a phone via the dock; that ages predictably. DC charging on early cars was optional; check on a possible second-hand choice whether CCS is fitted. We do not act as intermediary in second-hand purchase.
