The video offers an overview of the new 2021 Volkswagen e-Up, which is being produced in the Netherlands with a starting price of $ 25,000.

The box looks the same, but what's inside is completely new, with the battery cells in the revamped e-up! offering a much higher energy density than the previous model. Its gross capacity has been almost doubled, from 18.7 to 36.8 kWh (corresponds to 32.3 kWh usable energy). With average energy consumption of only 12.9 - 12.7 kWh/100 km, the e-up! achieves a range of up to 260 km from one battery charge, in real driving situations. When the battery is empty, it can be recharged to 80% in just an hour via direct current; the CCS charging connection needed for this is available as an option. Using alternating current, achieving 80% charge at a 7.2 kW socket takes just over four hours.

The Volkswagen e-up! is compact but fully formed, with space for four people - and plenty of fun for the driver. At its peak, the electric motor delivers 61 kW (83 PS), and from a standing start it sends a powerful 212 Nm of torque to the front axle via a single-speed gearbox. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes 11.9 seconds; acceleration stops at 130 km/h. The driver can choose between three driving profiles and five energy recovery levels. The large lithium-ion battery is installed beneath the vehicle floor, ensuring a low centre of gravity and agile handling. With six airbags and the new Lane Assist lane keeping assistant, even the smallest Volkswagen features a high level of safety as standard.

The revamped Volkswagen e-up! is an agile vehicle. In standard mode, it accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 11.9 seconds - half a second faster than its predecessor. Acceleration stops at 130 km/h in order to preserve the range. The lithium-ion battery is ideally positioned under the vehicle floor, where it ensures balanced axle-load distribution and a low centre of gravity - both promoting handling that is nimble and, at the same time, safe. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) integrates Hill Start Assist.
