Introduction
What Car? says...
No, the Volkswagen e-Up isn’t named after a familiar Yorkshire expression; the extra vowel denotes that this is the all-electric version of VW’s smallest car. Electric cars tend to make most sense in built-up urban areas, so surely the Up, a great city car, is the ideal starting point for one?
Well, in many respects, yes, because, just like the regular petrol-powered Volkswagen Up, the fully electric e-Up is blessed with tidy driving manners and turn-on-a-dime manoeuvrability. The trouble is, a great electric car also needs to make sense financially and have a long range, particularly when it's battling for sales against the likes of the larger Renault Zoe, more expensive Mini Electric and the e-Up’s own close cousins, mechanically identical Seat Mii electric and Skoda Citigo e iV.
