New Volkswagen Up! 2010
The Up! was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, continuing the Volkswagen design principles of simplicity to maximise space and reduce unnecessary gimmicks.
Up!
What sets the Up! apart is its spatial dimensions, offering more space than any other car of a similar length (3.45 metres) and width (1.63 metres).The up! features space for four adults as well as two cargo areas - one in the nose and one just above the rear-mounted engine.
Space Up!
In the space up! the wheelbase extends to 2,560 mm to improve interior space while each of the 165/50 R18 wheels is pushed as far into each corner of the vehicle as possible. The overall length of the space up! grows by 230 mm and the height by 40 mm when compared with the up! concept. Despite the gains in size the space up! is still 150 mm shorter in length than the current smallest Volkswagen model, the Fox.
Its spacious interior features four individual seats, three of which can either be folded or removed completely to allow for up to 1,005 litres of luggage space. Access to the boot area in confined spaces is made easier through the adoption of a pair of side hinging rear doors intersected by a Volkswagen roundel. As with the up! concept the space up! features a translucent panel at the rear into which are set the car's high-intensity LED brake lights.

Do you Qualify?
To qualify, you must be a recipient of:
* A Higher Rate Component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
* A War Pensioners Mobility Supplement
You can use either of these allowances towards the cost of a Motability vehicle.
Non-drivers and children, travelling as passengers, are also eligible for a vehicle. They too need to be in receipt of one of the above allowances.
For more information, visit the Motability website.
Contract Hire
95% of Motability customers choose to lease a car through their Contract Hire agreement which offers you:
A new car of your choice every 3 years
Insurance and personal accident cover
Servicing and maintenance
Full breakdown assistance from RAC
Replacement tyres fitted by Kwik-Fit
Window or windscreen replacement at no extra cost
Motor Insurance
Royal and Sun Alliance have been chosen to provide your motor insurance. This scheme includes social and domestic trips and travel to and from your place of work. There is £75 excess per claim. This is payable by the customer prior to all work being carried out (windscreens excluded).

Hire Purchase
If you'd like to own the Volkswagen you've been driving at the end of your agreement, then hire purchase is a good choice. You'll find this option especially useful if you've had to adapt or convert your car to suit your needs. It means you can keep it for longer than the 3-year contract hire period.
This choice is also ideal for anyone wanting to own a Volkswagen. You can opt for a new or used Volkswagen of your choice - and you won't be tied to the mileage limits set by contract hire.
