VW up! 5-Door costs from £8,360

The five-door version of VW’s baby car – the VW up! – will cost just £365 more than the 3-Door up, with prices from £8,360.

We got the official reveal of the five-door VW up! back in January, with the promise it would arrive on VW UK showrooms before the end of 2012. In fact, deliveries of the five-door up! are expected to start in August.

So if you need the extra doors on your up! you now can for an extra £365 over the three-door model, with the range of models and options otherwise identical across the up! range

That means you have to put up with driving round in a VW with a silly name, as Volkswagen demonstrate that deep-rooted sense of humour, well-known in corporate Germany’s board rooms.

So the starting point for the five-door up! experience is the Take up! at £83,60, moving through the Move up! at £9,445 and the High up! at ££10,880. There are also a couple of BlueMotion models thrown in for a bit of an eco halo and the posh versions – the up! White and up! Black ( VW obviously didn’t have the balls to make it the Black up!) at £11,670.

All models get the same three-pot 1.0 litre petrol with a 5-speed manual ‘box, with lesser models getting the 59bhp version and posher versions the 74bhp output. Only the BlueMotion models – in Move up! or High up! trim – mange to sneak under the 100g/km CO2 emissions.

The 5-door VW up! is now on sale and will arrive in showrooms in August.
