Volkswagen Ups Quality

Volkswagen has redrawn the map of the small car world. The goal: to develop a small car with charisma, a small car with maximum space on a minimal footprint, a small car with the most fuel-efficient engines or an electric drive, a small car with intuitive infotainment and operating systems, a small car with the safety of a large car. The result is the new Volkswagen up! It measures a short 3.54 metres and is a specialist for everyday urban living that was thought through to the last detail.

This car, like the larger Polo and the even larger Golf, will appeal to people of all ages and mobility wishes.In launching the up!, Volkswagen is not only putting a new car in motion; it is also redefining the parameters of customisation and financing.

And for many people, this will make the goal of driving a safe and economical new car more attainable than ever. Like the Beetle back in the 1950s, one could say that the Volkswagen Up! is once again “democratising” car driving, but it may surprise you that Nigeria might not get to drive the Up as Volkswagen’s accredited dealer, Stallion Motors are not just looking the other way round, but are not sure to hype the brand as they have continued to beef up sales for other brands in their kitty. Stallion Motors has about 8 brands in their kitty.

For the first time in a Volkswagen, the maps + more system is now being offered, which is a mobile Personal Infotainment Device (PID). In the economically priced up!, this is an equally economical system that was developed to organise navigation, telephone, information and entertainment, and was designed in cooperation with Navigon, one of the world’s leading suppliers of navigation systems.

The user simply snaps the PID into place above the centre console. Unlike many other similar systems of this type, maps + more melds with the car’s network of systems more effectively: navigation, telephone and infotainment can be controlled and viewed via the maps + more touchscreen, which can also be used to view vehicle information, such as the display of the parking sensors (where fitted).
