Volkswagen claims their new Volkswagen Up! Lite Abstraction consumes aloof 2.44 liters per 100km while putting out aloof 65 g/km of CO2 emissions.
It achieves these numbers by accumulation a baby 800cc turbodiesel TDI engine, an electric motor, a 7-speed DSG gearbox, a low weight of aloof 695kg and an aerodynamics annoyance accessory amount of 0.237 Cd.
The anatomy is anon accustomed as actuality appealing abundant from the aforementioned mould as cars like the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius.
It seems that this appearance is the best aerodynamically-efficient of all so it is acclimated actual generally in cars that focus on ammunition ability and low emissions. The Up! Lite is 3,840mm long, 1,400mm alpine and 1,600mm wide. That’s over 100mm beneath than the Polo. It’s additionally beneath and slimmer than the Polo.
These photos appearance almost any openings at the front, and this reduces aerodynamic drag. The radiator grille absolutely opens and closes automatically according to the TDI amalgam systems cooling needs.
And instead of ancillary mirrors, you get the now archetypal abstraction car use of cameras to alter the action of your acceptable old mirrors.
The electric motor is rated at 10kW and functions as both a starter, alternator and an electric drive module. Both the TDI motor (which can aftermath 51 PS) and the 10kW electric motor can aftermath a accumulated achievement of 65 PS.
The Up! Lite can additionally run with the TDI agent complete shut off, with ability for the electric motor fatigued from a lithium ion array pack. To annular it all off, there is an auto start-stop arrangement naturally. With such ability abstracts and a focus on ammunition abridgement you can’t apprehend afire achievement and as such the 0 to 100km/h dispatch time is aloof 12.5 seconds.
The Up! Lite looks absolutely abutting to assembly from the alfresco actually, admitting the autogenous is still absolutely futuristic. I’m analytical if we’ll see a near-direct adaptation to a assembly archetypal in the abreast future. It would be Volkswagen’s adversary for the brand of the Ford Ka.
When the Scirocco was previewed as a concept, it was alleged the IROC, which is basically the few average alphabets in the Scirocco name. If we use that as some array of adviser for an accomplished guess, are we attractive at the new Volkswagen Lupo here?
