The 2-door 2012 Volkswagen Lupo will measures 3.45 meters in length and fits perfectly in the company's quest to offer small models, with a low fuel consumption, that can fit in almost any parking space.

launch by a 1.0-liter TFSI 4 cylinder engine developing 85 hp. The 2012 Volkswagen Lupo will also be offered with 1.2 TDI diesel engine with 3 cylinders developing 75 hp.

The 2012 Volkswagen Lupo price will start at 8500 EUR and the new model will go on sale next summer.

After the launch of the 2-door version of the 2012 Volkswagen Lupo, the company also plans to offer a four-door version, which will be slightly longer.
VW hopes to sell around 600,000 units of the new 2012 Volkswagen Lupo each year.
