The "up!", Volkswagen's smallest model, boasts impressive safety features, including the class-exclusive standard "City Emergency Brake" system that automatically stops the car to avoid forward collisions. With an attractive price tag under 1.5 million yen, it has already sold 12,000 units since its launch.

This time,60th Anniversary of Volkswagen's Official Import to Japanas the fourth limited edition model to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Volkswagen's official import to Japan, special editions are making their debut on the "up!". Aiming to add a refined touch to the "up!"'s cheerful and approachable image, the exterior and interior have been enhanced with high-quality, dedicated items centered around a monochrome theme of white and black.

The body color for "Black up!" is Deep Black Pearl Effect, while "White up!" features the dedicated Pure White. The exclusive 16-inch alloy wheels are a thoughtful design, with wheel covers color-coordinated to the body. Chrome accents on the door mirrors, side moldings, and fog lamp bezels, along with dark tinted glass at the rear, further refine the exterior and enhance its premium feel.
