The new Volkswagen up! will make its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, featuring an outstanding new engine and more individualisation options.

A wide range of personalisation options adds to the dynamic character of the up!

The outstanding new 1.0-litre turbocharged direct petrol injection (TSI) engine available in the new up! offers an efficient and engaging drive, delivering 90bhp and 160Nm of torque.

New design and interior elements include new head lights (with LED daytime running lights as standard), new bumpers, a prominent rear diffuser, newly designed taillights, new exterior mirror housings with integrated indicator lights, new colours and decor for the dashpad (dashboard styling panel) as well as new seat designs.

Another innovation in the new up! is its smartphone integration. Just connect the smartphone above the dashpad, pair via Bluetooth and it becomes an infotainment system with navigation system and on-board computer functions, thanks to the Volkswagen app.

The up! also comes with a raft of personalisation options, with a choice of 13 body colours, nine exterior decals, 10 new dashpad designs, three roof colours, three design packs, two colour packs and two basic colours for the interior trim, coloured alloy wheels and individualised-colour ambient light.

An up! beats equipment version adds a special BeatsAudio sound system, along with several other equipment. The up! beats adds customised flair thanks to the new 15-inch alloy wheels, special beats design decals and contrasting colour door mirror caps. In the interior, an individual dashpad, a special door sill plate as well as colour coordinated seat belts to match the new equipment version give the car a very distinctive look. The up! beats also comes with smartphone integration and ambient lighting (white) as standard.
