In 2016, Volkswagen brought the up!'s facelifted version at the Geneva Motor Show and promised its customers that they could tailor their cars to fit their needs.
Available with a three- or five-door bodywork, the up! supermini vehicle was the smallest Volkswagen on sale. It shared its platform with Seat mii and Skoda CitiGo, but it kept its visual brand identity. That was to keep the form-follow-function discipline that helped the German automaker sell practical vehicles, but without some special appeal. Such as the up!
With a look that could conquer the hearts of a geometry lover, the up! showed a new front fascia with LED daytime running lights. The grille was just a thin line between the hood's edge and the wrapped-around plastic bumper. An additional cooling area found its place under the license plate area, flanked by a pair of optional fog lights. With the five-door version, the automaker added more practicality to the vehicle, helping customers who needed easy-to-access rear seats for children or adults. The greenhouse looked like a cube with a raked windshield at the front and a vertical drop at the back. Thanks to the wheels pushed to the corners, the up! looked prepared for small parking spaces and mall parking lots.
Inside, there was a new dashboard design, which was available in six different colors. On the center stack, the carmaker relied on customers' smartphones for pretty much everything, from a music player to navigation. A special cradle sat on top of the vehicle's radio. In front of the driver, Volkswagen mounted a rounded-shaped instrument cluster. For seating, the carmaker confirmed that it was, in the best-case scenario, a four-seat vehicle. It offered enough legroom and headroom on the two-seat bench.
Under the hood, Volkswagen installed an inline-three, naturally aspirated or turbocharged.
