Volkswagen e-up! Buying Guide

What types of used Volkswagen e-up! cars are there?

The has only been one generation of the Volkswagen up!, and the electric e-up! was added to the lineup later on, so it has the latest tech and styling.

What features does the Volkswagen e-up! have?

Is the Volkswagen e-up! reliable?

The Volkswagen up! is already a reliable car, but by taking out the petrol engine and swapping it for an electric motor with fewer moving parts, there’s even less to go wrong.

It gets the usual three-year VW warranty, but the battery also gets its own eight-year/100,000-mile cover, too.

How much does the Volkswagen e-up! cost to run?

A full charge, good for 100-150 miles of range, can cost as little as £2-3 with cheap electricity rates (which are around 7.5p/kWh in 2024).

Because it’s so small, consumables like tyres are also fairly affordable, as is insurance for this little EV.

Who is the Volkswagen e-up! suitable for?

The Volkswagen up! is already a popular pick among younger drivers because it’s stylish, extremely cheap to run and has the appeal of the VW badge.

A used Volkswagen e-up! should appeal to similar drivers who also want to slash their running costs. It’s an even better option for drivers who mostly drive short distances and want an electric car.

Besides the mechanically similar SEAT Mii, you may also wish to consider the Fiat 500e. You could also look at other VW models like the Polo or Golf.

Is VW e-up! worth it?

Yes, we think you should consider a used Volkswagen e-up! if you’re in the market for a regular up! or other similar city car – the 100-150-mile range is more than sufficient for most daily trips.

Is VW e-up! expensive to maintain?

The regular up! is already cheap to maintain, but a used Volkswagen e-up! for sale will be even cheaper to look after because you can skip things like engine oil.

You’ll still want to stick to a servicing schedule to make sure it runs smoothly.
