Class comparison

Compared with 152 other hatchbacks, Volkswagen e-Up! 2016 leans toward a smaller usable battery and shorter range. Usable battery capacity is below the class median; 16 kWh vs 45.4 kWh; 29.4 kWh lower, -65%. WLTP range is below the class median; 133 km vs 330 km; 197 km lower, -60%. Peak DC power is below the class median; 37 kW vs 85 kW; 48 kW lower, -56%. Worth considering if you can live with a smaller usable battery and shorter legs between charges.

Real Range

City - Mild Weather	128 km
City - Cold Weather	107 km
Highway - Mild Weather	101 km
Highway - Cold Weather	78 km

Real range estimates The values shown here are estimates calculated by BEV-Database using WLTP data and the usable battery capacity of the car. Mild weather represents driving in roughly +20 +25 C without heavy use of climate control, while Cold weather reflects winter conditions with cabin heating. Highway assumes steady cruising at about 110 km/h. These figures are not official test results. Real-world range will vary depending on speed, temperature, traffic, road profile, payload, tyres and driving style.
