Cheap small cars are usually hard to design and engineer. You either skip on quality or go with less features, and Volkswagen probably went for the latter solution with the production Up. However, once you managed to pull off a great little city runaround, marketing it is very simple.
That’s probably why Volkswagen brought over a total of four exciting up! concepts to this year Frankfurt show. This is the last one, and it’s a bit hard to get your head around. You see, VW has a whole range of Cross vehicles, jacked up versions of regular cars like the CrossPolo, CrossGolf and CrossTouran. This could very well be the next one: a jacked up Up in concept form.

It’s 15 mm higher off the ground, new grille, gray-silver plastic trim, underbody protection and 6-inch alloy wheels in cross design. Oddly enough, it also has four doors and a colorful dash that reminds us of Abarth models.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
