<< Prev Page 2 of 2 On electric power alone the twin up! can operate at speeds of 77 mph, and accelerate from zero to 37 mph in 8.8 seconds. The range on batteries alone is up to 31 miles. Using diesel and electric motors together, the car can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 15.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 87 mph. Combined torque peaks at 215 Nm.
When braking, the electric motor acts as a generator, and the braking energy is used to charge the battery. Under appropriate conditions the TDI engine can be used to charge the main traction battery.
Externally, the twin up! follows design cues familiar from the all-electric e-up! model, and also includes flowing blue double stripes above the sills. The main paint colour is 'Sparkling White', which includes blue flakes that create a spectacular changing pattern. The interior is dominated by an off-white 'Ceramic' colour, with a fabric and leather combination upholstery featuring blue piping and reflective strips on the seats' centre panels.
The instrument panel is bespoke, and all instrumentation is digital. The visual image and content of the instruments change according to the vehicle's driving mode (hybrid or all-electric). In hybrid mode the accents are white, while in pure electric mode they are blue.
The central infotainment screen is configurable by the user, while for the first time in a Volkswagen the automatic climate controls below are exclusively digital. This innovative concept uses Active Matrix Organic LED (AMOLED) displays. << Prev Page 2 of 2
