Volkswagen up!
Volkswagen's up! is a three-door city car with enough space for four adults. It features a small, efficient 1.0-litre petrol engine, while a fully electric version is expected in the near future. It's smaller than rivals like the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107, but clever packaging and design means the up! offers the maximum amount of space from its small dimensions.

The all-new Volkswagen up!, goes head-to-head with similarly-sized city cars such as the Toyota iQ and Fiat 500. It's powered by a three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine, available in either 59bhp or 74bhp form. Designed with a highly adjustable interior and promising class-leading cabin space, the up! also offers very competitive emissions of under 100g/km and fuel economy of 67mpg. The entry-level up! is priced from around £8,000.
