2011 Volkswagen Up! spied, first spy photos

Volkswagen's forthcoming city-car seems to be Up! and ready for production as it begins roaming around in public. The mule - with shortened front and rear overhangs was caught in the Austrian Alps undergoing chassis testing in its very early stages of development, using a previous Polo supermini to hide the newcomer. Judging by the wheelbase of the mule, the new Up! will provide a very spacious interior in a short body.

VW has suggested the production car will keep much of the styling from the concept that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt motorshow, so expect Golf-inspired headlights and a compact but practical design. Unlike the rear-engined, rear-wheel- drive concept, the final Up! will use a front-engined, front-wheel-drive layout.

Inside, the 4 seat arrangement will allow buyers to fold the 3 passenger seats flat or remove them. The dash will be revolutionary, incorporating digital touchscreens. The hi-tech feel continues under the skin as VW engineers are developing a choice of ecological two cylinder petrol and diesel engines for the car. Both will be turbocharged, with a capacity of around 600cc. They promise remarkable fuel economy of 94mpg combined and CO2 emissions of less than 100g/km. A more powerful 1.2 litre petrol engine may also be offered.

Volkswagen announced back in 2007 that it is very serious about producing the Up! in India, in order to cut back on costs, however, manufacturing in Bratislava, Slovakia hasn't been ruled out. If the Up! was built in India, it could only cost VW a mere €900 to produce.

Western Europeans will receive plusher models as it will be marketed as a must-have accessory, similar to that of the Toyota iQ and Smart ForTwo, while Eastern Europeans will see it as a cheap, reliable runabout. The Up! is likely to masure at 3.45 metres with the Space Up! measuring at 3.6 metres. The E-Up! measures at 3.2 metres.

Although the official name hasn’t been decided, Lupo could be used instead of Up!. Prices are expected to start from £7,500 when the city-car goes on sale sometime in Spring 2011. Aside the E-Up!, which is expected to go on sale in 2013, a 5dr and the "Space Up!" mini-MPV variants should also be in the pipeline.

Updated: 16/11/09

Jaguar is putting the first production XJ up for auction to try and raise £1m for the NSPCC. The 2010 Jaguar XJ comes in Protfolio trim with the firms 3.0 litre diesel engine in short-wheel-base. Standard features include electric panoramic glass sunroof, 20" Kasuga alloy wheels, adaptive xenon headlamps with LED day-time-running lights w/ washers, 1,200w Bowers & Wilkins sound system, 20 way adjustable leather ventilated seats with massage function, heated steering wheel, 4 zone climate control and a reversing camera.

The Jaguar Prize Competition will cost £125 per entry with no limit to the amount of entries allowed per person. The money raised will go towards the NSPCC’s helplines, including ChildLine.

Esther Rantzen is backing prize competition. "Our new online ChildLine service gives children even more choice in how they seek our help. Children can now text and chat to a ChildLine counsellor at www.childline.org.uk as well as phone on 0800 1111. However, there is much still to be done before we can be there for all children. The Jaguar Prize Competition takes us one step further to raising the funds we need to do this.

Geoff Cousins, managing director of Jaguar UK said: “To help give more children the support they need, Jaguar, a long-standing supporter of the NSPCC, is giving away the very first customer ready car to be produced.

“This is a unique chance to own the first XJ, help raise funds for the Child's Voice appeal and ensure even more calls are answered."

The competition runs to 25th November, with the winner being announced on 1st December. To enter, click here. Video can be viewed here.

Press Release:

Jaguar is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win the first new Jaguar XJ when it rolls off the production line later this year. This all-new luxury saloon, worth more than £62,000, is Jaguar's flagship model and will launch in showrooms in the New Year.

The Jaguar Prize Competition aims to raise £1m for the NSPCC’s helplines. It will cost £125 per entry and there is no limit to the number of entries per person.

The NSPCC is running a three year Child's Voice Appeal to raise £50m for its helplines. The money will help grow ChildLine so it can answer every call, text and e-mail from children. It will also go toward developing the NSPCC helpline for adults worried about a child.

Geoff Cousins, Managing Director of Jaguar UK said: “To help give more children the support they need, Jaguar, a long-standing supporter of the NSPCC, is giving away the very first customer ready car to be produced. Our new Jaguar XJ is a blend of stunning design, intuitive technology and innovative thinking - this is a unique chance to own the first one, help raise funds for the Child's Voice appeal – and ensure even more calls are answered."

Sleek, sporting and sophisticated, the all-new Jaguar XJ brings a daring new spirit to automotive luxury - it offers a seductive mix of striking design, breathtaking performance and engineering without compromise. The all-new XJ's cabin is a marvel in its own right, blending elegant, contemporary design with the comfort, luxury and unmistakable sporting style of a Jaguar.

NSPCC director of communications John Grounds said: "Today we are also launching a new online ChildLine service which gives children even more choice in how they seek our help. Children can now text and chat to a ChildLine counsellor as well as phone in.

“However, there is much still to be done before we can be there for all children. The Jaguar Prize Competition takes us one step further to raising the funds we need to do this.”

The competition runs until 25th November and the winner will be announced on 1st December. Entrants must correctly answer three questions about the new Jaguar XJ to be in for a chance to win the car. Enter here.

About the Child’s Voice Appeal:

The government has pledged £30m over four years towards the expansion of ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline, but the NSPCC needs the support of the public to raise a further £50m through the Child’s Voice Appeal, to make its vision to answer many more cries for help a reality. Everyone can support the Child’s Voice Appeal. To date the appeal has raised £19.1m

The all-new XJ also takes a new approach to sustainable motoring. Constructed using Jaguar’s lightweight body technology, the XJ is lighter than its rivals by at least 150kg which significantly improves performance, handling and economy, while delivering increased strength, refinement and safety.

The winner will take delivery of the Jaguar XJ a week before the car goes on sale in January. The Jaguar XJ being offered is a short-wheelbase 3.0-litre diesel Portfolio model, worth more than £62,000. The new Jaguar XJ will be launched in the UK in January 2010 and the car donated by Jaguar is the first customer-ready car off the production line.

The Jaguar XJ range starts at £52,500.

Safety warnings advised during clock changes (UK)

Drivers and pedestrians are being advised to take extra care on the roads this weekend as the clocks go back to signal the end of British Summer Time (BST).

The sun will be setting an hour earlier from Sunday 25th October, which means that children will soon be making their way home in the dark.

Peter Rodger, chief examiner at the Institute of Advanced Motorists, warned: 'The period between late afternoon and early evening – the time when most casualties happen will be in darkness.'

Drivers are told to turn on their lights before it's fully dark and to take particular care where children may be on the streets between 4pm and 6pm.

Children are being urged to 'Be Bright, Be Seen' by the Department for Transport in a road safety campaign launched today.

Last year, 867 children, aged six to 11, were killed or seriously injured on the UK's roads. Children are advised to wear bright or fluorescent clothing in the daytime and reflective clothing if they venture out after dark.

There's substantial evidence that fewer people would be killed and seriously injured on Britain's roads if the country were to put the clocks forward by one hour throughout the year, according to a report published yesterday by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee.

It recommended that the Department for Transport (DfT) looks again at changing current policy. The new system where clocks would be put one hour ahead of GMT in Winter and two hours ahead in Summer, has been dubbed 'Single Double Summer Time' (SDST).

A DfT spokesperson said: 'A wide range of issues would have to be taken into account if a move to SDST was to be considered, of which casualty savings is just one.

For example, any changes to Britain's time zone would need to have full regard to the positive and negative effects on business and transport links with other countries; health and safety issues; and on social community life.'

For those of you that are living in Blighty, the clock will go back at 2am Sunday morning.
