29 years after the release of the all electric Golf Mk2 citySTROMer Volkswagen release a new electric car, the e-up! which they claim is their first production electric car
VW sold 100 Golf citySTROMers in 1984. It had a range of 50 miles. The e-up! has a range of 93 miles. Volkswagen claim it is a pioneering four-seat car. Which it plainly isn't.
The e-up! is powered by a 60kW (81bhp) electric motor which enables the car to do 0-62mph in 14 seconds and has a top speed of 93mph.
The lithium iron battery is situated under the floor and the charging point is where the fuel flap would be on conventional engined e-up!s. It's a great looking little car. Typical VW build quality and conservative design with a hint of flair.
First deliveries of the e-up! are expected in 2014. The Golf citySTROMer cost 45,000DM in 1984. VW have yet to release a price for the e-up!
