VWSA will be offering just two three-door versions (a five-door is available overseas) of the Up to local buyers - the 'Take up!' and 'Move up!'. Both are powered by a 1-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 55kW and 95Nm, and which drives the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. VW claims combined fuel consumption of 4.7 litres per 100km.

Cute car. Crap price.
FYI - The UK model starts at £7,995 - about R135 000.

very strange design from VW but looks good I like.

R130k seems to be about on the money for this in terms of what its competitors charge for similar types of vehicles...

I kind of do like this as a city run about though.

Roughly the same power output as a 1.3 Citigolf, with the same mass, so it should perform well enough in city driving conditions.

 

[DMZ]

Yoh, it is slow!

Small and under powered.

Meh.

Meh.

The definition of a city car. This is not intended to be anything else than that.

Our starting price is R133k? So roughly the same, interesting looking little car.

Nice car.

 

[JStrike]

I like it. But think I'm still going to go for the Smart

 

[sly]

is there a 4 door version?

is there a 4 door version?

If you mean 5 door, no.
If you meant 4 door, then I don't understand the question

 

[D3athD00r]

is there a 4 door version?

It's 3 or 5 door. No such thing as a 4 door.

I'd still go for the Hyundai i10

 

[Rouxenator]

One of the few VWs I actually like. It is a real people's car that the people can actually afford. Hope they drop the price and kill the Vivo.

Veloster?
Back on topic...

Just a pity we received it only now. VW SA made sure to bleed the Vivo range to it's max

Good grief, I drove a Honda Brio and i can tell you it is utter crap.
