Volkswagen e-up !: reaches 260 km of autonomy

The climate emergency has accelerated a process that was already underway at many carmaker innovation centers. Europe has been negotiating a sustainable transition with the big firms for years, despite the fact that it seems that the bull has caught them. Zero emission mobility is not an option , neither legally nor morally. In addition, transport is one of the sectors most affected by government regulations that seek to reduce the level of toxic particles in their cities, hence urbanites are a key element. The utility market share has ruled them out as viable concepts for brands for years – until now. The Volkswagen Group, fully involved in improving its image and offering a complete portfolio of electric vehicles, has converted its smaller models into the spearhead of the clean metropolises of the future. In the lead, your Volkswagen e-up! , with greater autonomy and better standard equipment .

It is true, there are other electrified segments that attract more attention for their design, performance and autonomy. Cars that are far from accessible and truly useful for now. As manufacturers and buyers are making their first steps with compact electrics, SUVs or sedans, cities will be filled with more coherent, economical and realistic options. The new Volkswagen e-up! It is part of that first squad, which must be the seed of sustainability and demonstrate that electric propulsion is viable for that role. For this, the firm has provided it with a battery with greater capacity and, therefore, more autonomy. This urbanite is capable of traveling 258 kilometers (WLTP cycle) , a distance more than enough to cover the daily needs of its driver.

The Volkswagen e-up! It is manufactured on the same platform as the electric Seat Mii or the Skoda Citigo iV , almost identical models but with different personalities. The e-up! It offers a more complete equipment but it is also the most expensive and is structured under the Base and Style trim levels. All of them are almost identical in size and the e-up is 3.60 meters long by 1.64 wide and 1.49 high , with a wheelbase of 2.41 meters.
