Volkswagen Space Up!

Volkswagen's Space Up! concept, unveiled in Tokyo today, is the firm's latest take on the Up! small car. But unlike the three-door Up! concept unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, the Space Up! is a four-door car.

Penned by a team led by Volkswagen Group Chief Designer Walter de Silva, the Space Up! shares the Up! concept's simple, cohesive lines running through the vehicle. But this latest concept's overall length has been extended by 230mm and its height by 40mm.

Though it has modest external dimensions, the vehicle has a spacious and versatile interior. 'Butterfly' doors hinged on the A- and C-pillars provide access to the four individual seats, three of which can either be folded or removed completely. Clean surfaces are joined by intuitive and highly advanced touchscreen panels for both the climate and entertainment functions.
