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.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
