New VW eUP! review - the anti-Tesla EV? // Jonny Smith CarPervert

Why do I think this could be the anti-Tesla EV? Simply because the 160 mile new VW e-Up! is a very simple package - an EV for non tech freaks perhaps? It is an electric car that doesn't so much celebrate technology, but feels pleasantly analogue for a new car with new lithium-ion drivetrains that lives beneath.

In the previous CarPervert episode I waved goodbye to my 2018 e-Golf long term test vehicle. I had become accustomed to the familiar Golf driving experience, married to a 120-140 mile EV range. This is the new 2020 revised VW e-UP! electric supermini. Its battery pack has increased significantly since its 2013 launch - from 18.7kWh to 32.3kWh - and with that the crucial real world range.

The Up! itself is now a 10 year old car, but doesn't feel it. This e-Up! costs just under £20,000 new, and so it is priced similarly to a nearly-new VW e-Golf. The Golf is more luxurious and spacious, but the cheekly little e-Up! beats its WLTP for real world range.
