Budge up!–16 pile into VW’s new city car
City cars might not be renowned for their spaciousness, however Volkswagen has demonstrated just how accommodating its new up! model can be by cramming in 15 women and one bendy bloke.
There wasn’t much in the way of driver comfort with four people in the front seats, two in the footwells, one on the dashboard, seven on the rear bench, and two in the boot, but regardless this sets a new record for the four seater.
We’re talking full size adults here too, not two year old midgets which would obviously be cheating.
What’s more impressive is that at 3.54 metres long and 1.64 metres wide, the up! will be one of the smallest four-seat cars around when it launches in spring 2012.
Starting at £7,995 for the 1-litre three-cylinder 60PS petrol engine, the frugal up! is already available to order. A Bluemotion option ups fuel economy from the standard 60.1/62.7mpg to 67.2.
