Volkswagen will reveal the production version of the electric up! in September during the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The car will be going on sale at a steep starting price of 26,900 euros with the battery included.
This is a hefty price tag taking into account the bigger Nissan Leaf kicks off from 23,790 euros when opting for a leased battery or 29,690 if you want to buy the battery pack.
The Volkswagen e-up! has an electric motor producing just 82 HP (60 kW) and 155 lb-ft (210 Nm) of torque.
It can do the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 12.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 81 mph (130 km/h). According to Volkswagen, the e-up! can travel up to 99 miles (160 km) on a single charge and will cost the owner just 3 euros for every 62 miles (100 km).
