For
This is the most efficient Up of all, thanks to stop-start technology, low rolling resistance tyres and brake regeneration technology. It offers a 96g/km CO2 rating and the extra kit doesn’t compromise the driving experience.
Against
The eco kit is only available on the 59bhp engine, which is not as flexible as the higher-powered version. It is best suited to an urban environment. You would have to be a regular user of London’s congestion charge zone to offset the increase in the purchase price, too.

out of 5 stars
If your driving needs are purely urban then this is the most efficient and appropriate Up of the lot. However, if you venture to the countryside then the higher-powered version would be a more rewarding and relaxing experience
