Volkswagen to Extend the up! Range with ‘Jeans’ Model

Volkswagen is now extending the product range of its super compact four-seater with a new special model. The jeans up! sparkles with exterior and interior highlights while offering a price advantage of up to 792 euros.

The exterior design of the jeans up! is defined by its 16-inch “triangle black” alloy wheels, exterior mirrors framed in chrome, sporty decals on its side panels and the “jeans” badge on the front doors. Smoked rear and side windows not only make a cool statement; they also protect against intense sunlight. Front fog lights with chrome surrounds provide for good visibility in all weather conditions. Other standard features include a multifunction display and a convenient cruise control system.
The interior makes a customised impression with seats in jeans look and leather-look borders in the colour “Sioux” (as well as pockets on the backs of the front seats). Also highlighting the car’s easy-going appearance are the “up!” badge on the door sill guards, cloth floor mats with coloured seams and chrome accents on the air vents, radio panel and in the instrument cluster. The steering wheel (with its high-end spoke), gear shift grip and parking brake grip are trimmed in dark split leather that perfectly accentuates the “Sioux” coloured stitching.

The jeans up! can be equipped with any of the engine-gearbox combinations that are offered in the up! Their power output ranges from 44 kW / 60 PS to 55 kW / 75 PS. The versions include the eco up! – the economising wonder with a natural gas drive (50 kW / 68 PS), which stands out with very economical fuel costs of just around three euros per 100 kilometres. The entry-level price for the jeans up! is 12,375 euros, and customers will realise a price advantage of 792 euros over a comparably equipped production model.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
