Volkswagen set to launch new Up

Volkswagen is to present a new Up city car at the Geneva Motor Show, with larger wheel options, a more powerful engine, and a Beats Audio version with a 300-Watt stereo.

While it won’t arrive in showrooms until late summer, ahead of planned September deliveries, VW has revealed the details now, starting with revised bumpers, door mirrors with integrated indicators, and LED, daytime running lights.

An impressive 13 paint colours will be offered, although it’s not clear, at this time, how many will be free. Three roof colours and 10 ‘dashpad’ designs will allow for more personalisation.
