This revised version arrived in 2017, and although you might struggle to spot what changed in the facelift, it does have remodeled bumpers. Importantly, it also has a range of new infotainment systems and the option of some more powerful engines.

What’s more, as long as you avoid the most basic Take Up model, your Up will come with what Volkswagen calls a ‘variable boot floor’. This can be mounted in a variety of positions and means you can lift it up to reduce the height of the boot lip you have to lift luggage over.
