The Tokyo Motorshow saw Volkswagen {link} launch a minivan version of their impressive Up! city car. An impressive 23cm longer than the Up! the Space Up! is the latest design in Volkswagen’s New Small Family concept. The Space Up! offers excellent interior space thanks to having the wheels placed as close to the corner of the body. Minimal body overhangs ensure good manoeuvrability especially when one considers the fact that the Space Up! is 15cm shorter than the current Volkswagen Fox.
Using the same interior design as the Up! (Debuted at the IAA at Frankfurt this year) the Volkswagen Space Up! has two colour displays offering information to the driver and entertainment to passengers. All the seats bar the driver’s fold flat allowing wide and long loads to be carried.
The Space Up! will offer a choice of three engine/motor options. All will be rear mounted (harking back to the original Type 1 Beetle) and environmentally friendly. Low emission and low consumption diesel and petrol engines will be complemented by an electric motor.
The Volkswagen New Small Family concept will be seen in dealerships towards the end of 2010 with the latest designs and innovations due to be shown at the Los Angeles Auto show later this month.
