Lite is a diesel-electric hybrid with a 7-speed direct-shift gearbox and efficiency that puts the Toyota Prius to shame. Sharing bits and pieces with the new Small Car Family of Volkswagens, it's theoretically possible that the up! Lite could enter every global market, including North America.

THE VOLKSWAGEN UP! FAMILY: NOW AVAILABLE IN UP! LITE
Along came an up! Then a Space up!, Space up! Blue, E-up!, and now the latest, the up! Lite. Basically, the Volkswagen up! Lite is a diesel-electric hybrid with a 7-speed direct-shift gearbox and efficiency that puts the Toyota Prius to shame. Sharing bits and pieces with the new Small Car Family of Volkswagens, it's theoretically possible that the up! Lite could enter every global market, including North America.

Lite before anybody else.
