When it was released in 2016, the revamped version of Volkswagen I p! appeared on the German market with a price of 26 900 euros, much more than the approximately 10 000 euros that the brand was asking for the cheaper gasoline version. Now, about two years later, and given the reduced sales figures achieved, the German brand decided it was time to do something.
So Volkswagen cut the price of the e-Up! in the domestic market at 3,925 euros, with the small tram now costing 22,975 euros in German lands. And all this even before the incentives and aid that are given to the purchase of electric cars.
According to the Observer, Volkswagen is preparing a similar measure for Portugal, however it is still not known how much the small electric will start to cost around here. Currently, e-Up! can be purchased in Portugal for a price starting at 28 117 euros.
In 2020, more electric cars arrive
With 82 hp and a battery capacity of 18.7 kWh, the e-Up! it has a range of around 160 km (still in accordance with the NEDC cycle) and manages to complete 0 to 100 km/h in 13s, reaching a maximum speed of 130 km/h. The e-Up! and the e-Golf, are the only 100% electric models that Volkswagen currently offers.

However, the brand plans to greatly increase its offer of electric cars. So it has prepared several models of the I.D. range, the first of which will be the Neo, a model equivalent to the Golf and which the brand intends to sell at a price similar to the Diesel version of the iconic model.
