Volkswagen e-up price in Czech Republic is surprising

Only available in one trim level, the Volkswagen e-up has a starting price of 449.900 CZK (17.623 euros) in Czech Republic. This is actually a surprise since it’s cheaper than its sibling Škoda CITIGOe iV.

The new Volkswagen e-up has a 61 kW motor powered by a 36,8 kWh battery – of which 32,3 kWh are usable – and a WLTP range of 260 km (162 miles). Moreover, it has a 7,2 kW on-board charger and supports DC fast charging via CCS (40 kW).

As you can see this version is very well equipped and the only optional equipment that I see as interesting for most buyers is the PJ1, which is 15″ alloy wheels with low rolling resistance tires for 13.800 CZK (540 euros).

With the optional 15″ alloy wheels that I mentioned, the Volkswagen e-up ends up costing 463.700 CZK (18.162 euros). This price includes VAT (21 %) and no government subsidy, since in Czech Republic there isn’t one.

Thanks Pajda for the heads up.
