Overview

The Volkswagen Up! is a city car produced by the Volkswagen Group from 2011 to 2023. It is part of the New Small Family (NSF) series, alongside the SEAT Mii and Škoda Citigo which are rebadged versions with different front and rear fascias. Production began in December 2011 at the Volkswagen Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, and continued until October 2023 when it ended.

History & notable variants

The Up! was introduced after a series of concept cars starting from 2007. It features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout with a three-cylinder petrol engine. The model won the World Car of the Year in 2012 and received a facelift in 2016. A GTI variant was introduced in January 2018 featuring a turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine producing 115 PS (113 bhp; 85 kW). An electric version, the E-up!, was launched in autumn 2013.

Volkswagen Up! wheel fitment

Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Volkswagen Up! wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Volkswagen Up! AA, AAN.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:

As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
