Volkswagen e-Up! revealed

Volkswagen has unveiled its first ever electric production car, the e-Up!.



Instead of an internal combustion engine, the e-Up! city car has an electric motor that produces 54 bhp (40 kW / 55 PS) of continuous power, 80 bhp (60 kW / 82 PS) of peak power and 210 Nm (155 lb/ft) of torque. That’s sufficient for a reasonable 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of less than 14 seconds, but top speed is a modest 84 mph (135 km/h).

Thanks partly to enhanced aerodynamics and a lightweight body, a range of up to 93 miles (150 kilometres) is promised from the under-floor 18.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Once depleted, recharging to 80 per cent capacity takes under 30 minutes.



Sales of the Volkswagen e-Up! are due to begin after its public debut at September’s Frankfurt Motor Show. Pricing has yet to be announced.
