The up!’s winning streak at Auto Express continues into the 2019 Awards, fending off new competition with its extensive skillset, but particularly its excellent visibility, precise manual gearshift and compact dimensions, according to the publication.
In particular, Auto Express praised the up! in High up! 1.0 75 PS 5dr spec, paying note to the car’s high level of equipment, affordability and style. Despite its city car dimensions the up!’s level of safety and space and price point also drew accolade from the judging panel.
Steve Fowler, Editor-in-Chief of Auto Express, said: “The up! is in its element around town, because visibility is excellent and the light steering, precise manual gearshift and compact dimensions make it perfect for the city. Yet its good body control, grip and agility make it great fun on a winding road, too.
