VW up!


The German automaker confirmed a five-door version of the pint-sized vehicle was headed to market, and VW even went so far as to show off the "Cross up!" at the Motor Show in Frankfurt.  The production version of the "Cross up! five-door" will stick fairly close to the concept and will ride on a similarly tall suspension.  That should give the vehicle more of a mini crossover appearance instead of a small hatchback.   Information on drivetrain options is suitably scarce at the moment, but we expect the five-door Up! to roll off of the production line with the same engines as its shorter three-door kin. That means buyers should be able to tick boxes for either a 59-horsepower gasoline engine or a brawny 74-horsepower gas powerplant.  
U.S. market:
A company executive has informed, “The Golf and Jetta are as small as we’re going to go, for now”.
