VW UK Opens Order Books For Up GTI: Bag One From £139 Per Month

The 2018 Up GTI has arrived in UK showrooms and Volkswagen UK is celebrating the occasion with an impressive PCP finance offer.

VW UK gives you the chance to buy the smallest GTI in its range from just £139 per month, thanks to the brand’s latest PCP finance offer.

Power comes from a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder TSI engine tuned to produce 113hp (115PS) between 5,000 and 5,500rpm and up to 147lb-ft (200Nm) of peak torque between 2,000 and 3,500rpm.

The engine is paired to a six-speed manual gearbox. Combined with a weight of just 1,070kg (2,358lbs), the new VW Up GTI is capable of a 0-62mph (100km/h) sprint in 8.8 seconds and of a top speed of 122mph (196km/h).

A sports suspension brings the little pocket rocket 15mm closer to the ground compared to its non-GTI siblings and promises to offer an engaging driving experience that wants to evoke the spirit of the original, and similarly-sized, Golf GTI.

All this is combined with proper good fuel economy, with the Up GTI returning a combined 58.9mpg UK and a CO2 rating of 110g/km.

The exterior gets GTI-specific red trim strips front and rear, a set of 17-inch alloy wheels and a chrome-tipped exhaust. The interior features sports seats dressed with the traditional ‘Jakara Red’ cloth, the iconic GTI gear knob and a leather-wrapped flat-bottomed steering wheel.

VW offers the Up GTI in both three- and five-door bodystyles, with prices kicking off at £13,750 and £14,150 respectively.
