Over in the UK, Volkswagen has introduced two special editions of the up! city car, targeted at “fans of loud music, great-looking small cars and questionable puns.”
The Groove up! (five- and three-door available) and Rock up! (three-door only) are both based on the top High up! spec. The former is equipped with a six-speaker Fender sound system that comes with a subwoofer and 300-watt amplifier.
Also standard on the Groove up! is the Maps & More personal infotainment device, a touchscreen sat-nav with Bluetooth and music streaming, exclusive black seats with orange edging, tinted windows and 16-inch ‘Upsilon’ alloys, amongst others.
The Rock up! (pictured) features an anthracite body stripe and a full body kit comprising a front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear spoiler. It also sits on 16-inch ‘Upsilon’ alloys.
Inside, the Rock up! features a choice of black or grey seats. The kit list includes air-con, Maps & More, a six-speaker audio system and remote central locking.
Optional equipment includes City Emergency Braking system, parking sensors, cruise control and a multifunction computer. A forward-folding front passenger seat for accommodation of long items can be specified on the five-door Groove up!, as can a panoramic glass sunroof.
Both cars get their motivation from a 75 PS 1.0 litre three-cylinder petrol engine that’s mated to a five-speed manual ‘box. VW claims a combined fuel economy of 4.7 litres per 100 km and CO2 emissions of 108 grams per km.
The Groove up! three-door costs £11,640 (RM54,190), and the five-door £12,015 (RM55,936). The Rock up! costs £12,980 (RM60,424).
