2012 Volkswagen Up! Review, Price, Interior, Exterior, Engine. - The 2012 Volkswagen Up! production model is finally here. To be made available in several flavors, the go to vanilla offering is remarkable as much for its meandering gestation as it is for its price: €9,850 for the Move Up! "convenience oriented model" (about $13,500 USD, including Germany's costly Value Added Tax). That model will have the 59 horsepower gas engine that slots below the available gas powered 74 hp engine and 67 horsepower natural gas engine.

BMW’s reborn Mini proved conclusively that Americans would buy a shrunken city car, at least one with distinctive design and respectable performance. The Fiat 500 microcar is dipping its stylish Italian toe in our waters, along with the Scion iQ. But the utilitarian two seat Smart, a ward of Mercedes-Benz, was a bomb with buyers. And many automakers remain unconvinced, barring $6 a gallon gasoline, that Americans will respond to the tiny low price models that swarm the streets of Berlin, Shanghai and São Paulo.

Imagine our disappointment, then, when VW announced that the rear engine design had been abandoned in favor of a conventional front engine, front wheel drive layout. A rear engine Up would have required extensive changes; switching to front drive allows the company to interchange hardware with other VWs such as the Polo. There was also some concern about the potential tail happy behavior of a rear heavy car and in its push to find broad appeal in the U.S. market, VW seems to be choosing to err on the side of conservatism.

Surprisingly, the Up’s proportions and styling remain mostly unchanged. The production car has grown in length and width 13.6 inches longer and 6.4 inches wider than the concept. But the Up will be VW’s smallest car, at 138 inches long. The main styling differences include a new hatch and taillights. The four seat Up will launch as a three door hatchback, but a five door version will become available, as will a small multipurpose vehicle in the same vein as the Mazda 5.

2012 Volkswagen Up! Price and Release Date :
the 2012 Up! will be launched in the European market first. It all started in December 2011. 2012 VW up! basic price range is around $ 12,500 to $ 17,500.
