Volkswagen showcases the Up before the launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month the Up will be take on Hyundai H800 and Maruti Suzuki's sub Alto car that is may the Cervo but not sure.the prices of the Up will be in the range of 3-4 lakhs. on this photo this is the 3-doors version and that India might not get the five-doors version will be launch in 2012 so expect the Up in 2012.
The car will be available with a 1 liter, 59 Bhp petrol engine that uses turbocharging and direct injection to endow it with a terrific claimed fuel economy figure close to 24 KMPL. The Volkswagen Up! currently doesn’t yet have a diesel engine in its kitty although we think that a diesel engine will definitely be in the scheme of things as Volkswagen has an ultra frugal 800cc, three pot common rail diesel engine in its kitty.
This engine has been showcased earlier in the Volkswagen XL1 Hybrid concept that delivered a phenomenal 100 KMPL. So, this 47 Bhp, CRDI diesel engine making it to the Indian Volkswagen Up! is something that could happen in the future given the tremendous demand for diesel cars in India. All said, the upcoming 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show is set to throw more light on the Volkswagen global plans for the Up!. Until then, keep an eye out on this space.
