What it is: Future of
Volkswagen design and technology. Volkswagen also claims the Up! Lite
to be the world’s most fuel efficient car achieving 70 mpg on the
highway.
What we like about it:
Through use of aluminum, high-strength steel and carbon fiber, the Up!
Lite tips the scales at a feathery 1,530 pounds. To further help with
efficiency, the navigation system has a built-in “eco” mode which plots
a route that favors downhill coasting.
Bottom line: Volkswagen
doesn’t mess around when building a concept hybrid.
