New design, tech, 'beats'...Volkswagen's baby Golf grows Up!
• New interior and exterior tweaks
• New infotainment system
• Beats Up! to be introduced launched in 2017
Volkswagen’s compact hatchback, the Up!, sports new colours and wheels, design tweaks throughout and an enhanced infotainment system.
With over 4800 units sold in South Africa since its market introduction in February 2015, the automaker hopes its new Up! will continue the success story of VW's popular city car.
What's new?
The newly designed headlights with LED daytime running lights, modified bumper with redesigned front trim strips and a more contoured bonnet give it a sharper, sportier look. New wheels (measuring up to 16") and wing mirrors with integrated indicators. The redesigned rear lights and distinctive rear diffuser create a rounded finish.
Tweaks inside
Volkswagen is using printed surfaces for the dashboard styling panel manufactured using the in-mould-labelling process (IML). The newly available ambient lighting underlines the exclusive look of the interior. Leather multi-function steering and gear knob are now standard from Move up!
The new Up! is offered in four equipment levels; Take up!, Move up! up! beats and Cross Up!
Prices:
1.0 MPI Take up! (55kW) - R164 700

The maximum torque of 95Nm is reached at 3000 rpm. From standstill to 100km/h Up! takes 13.5 seconds while it pushes a top speed of 173km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 4.6-litres/100km.
The compact hatchback measures 3.6m long, 1.6m wide and 1.5m tall with wheelbase of 2.4m. Its turning circle is 9.8m. Boot space is rated at 251-litres. When the rear seat is fully folded, cargo space increases to 959 litres.
All derivatives are sold with many safety features including ABS, four airbags and Electronic Stability Control. Cross Up and Up! beats will be available in the first quarter of 2017.
The new up! is the second Volkswagen model after Polo, to be offered with the BeatsAudio sound system. The 300-watt system comprises of an amplifier, six high-end speakers and a separate subwoofer for a concert hall feeling inside the car. The Up! beats differentiates itself from other derivatives by its newly designed ‘Radial’ 15" alloy wheels, beats design decals as well as contrasting wing mirrors.

The facelifted Volkswagen up! city car is now available in South Africa with updated exterior and interior styling. Take a look at what's changed...
The Volkswagen up! has been a sales success in South Africa since its introduction early in 2015 and the model has received some updates to keep it ahead of the curve. The facelifted up! was shown earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show and the refreshed up! has now arrived in South Africa.
Key features
The up! range consists of 4 derivatives including the Take up!, Move up!, up! Beats and the Cross up!. All up! derivatives will be offered in 5-door guise only. The up! Beats and Cross up! will be offered locally in the first quarter of 2017.
The facelifted up! offers higher levels of customisation with new colours and wheels designs available to buyers. Buyers can opt for optional 15-inch Spoke alloy wheels or a number of optional packages such as the Sound 'Plus' Package (4 speakers), Driver Package (cruise control, rear park distance control and muli-function display), Winter Package (heated seats and front fog lights), Roof Package (black roof and side mirrors), smartphone integration, navigation and a panoramic sunroof. You can also choose between 8 colours including Candy White, Pure White, Teal Blue, Honey Yellow Metallic, Tornado Red, Dark Silver Metallic, Edelweiss Metallic and Deep Black Pearlescent.
Exterior improvements include newly designed head- and taillight clusters, revised front and rear bumpers, new side mirror housings with integrated indicator lights and cornering fog lamps.
The interior of the up! benefits from a new infotainment system with MirrorLink integration, while the steering wheel now features mounted controls. New seat and printed dashboard designs are also on offer while ambient lighting further improves the interior mood. Buyers will be pleased to know that Bluetooth and a USB port will be fitted as standard on all Up! derivatives, except for the base Take up!, where these features will be optional. The Take up! is fitted with a 3.1-inch 'Composition' monochrome display as standard, offering Radio/CD, an SD card slot and Auxilliary port. In comparison, the Move up!, Cross up! and up! Beats come equipped with a 5-inch 'Composition Phone' display offering radio, USB, SD card slot, auxiliary port and Bluetooth functionality as standard.
The Up! Beats replaces the previous Club Up! and Colour Up! derivatives and comes fitted with a 300W premium sound system by BeatsAudio, the same sound system found in the recently introduced Volkswagen Polo Beats. The up! Beats will also feature newly designed 'Radial' 15-inch alloy wheels, beats decals and contrasting side mirrors. The up! Beats will be able to integrate the 'Maps + More' smartphone app with the infotainment system, allowing the user to use the phone display for functions such as navigation, telephone and car information.
In terms of engine power, the current 3-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine, which produces 55 kW and 95 Nm of torque, will power all up! derivatives while a 5-speed manual transmission will drive the front wheels. The claimed average fuel consumption is 4.6 L/100 km.

For me, in terms of styling, interior, build quality, it would be the Up! - however up here in Joburg I don't think I would ever get myself into a 1.0 NA - would rather opt for the 500 - would probably be a lot peppier up here and also quite the stylish little thing.

Now this is cool! Autocar Mag (UK) got an exclusive prototype drive of the 2018 Up GTi. It's actually in SA undergoing hot weather testing. (check the plates).
1L turbo 3-cylinder; 85kw; torque TBC; weight of 1020kg. 6-speed manual. 0-100km/h in 8.8 secs; top speed 190km/h.
Still more than a year away from production.

Is the Up GTi basically the turbo version?

No. The MY2017 update offers a 1L T Motor as well. Just not for SA as yet.
