Volkswagen has shown off its Up Taxi Concept at a special unveiling in London today. The Up Taxi is VW's vision of a quirky and environmental rival to the classic London black cab, the Hackney carriage.
The VW Up Taxi looks good! Is that what the production Up will look like?
The Up Taxi has luxurious leather seats and big touchscreens in the front and rear. Sadly, given that the base Up will cost less than a Smart, these are unlikely to make it through to production.
The Up Taxi is a refreshing take on the traditional black cab seen plying London's streets. The production three-door Up will weigh just 800kg - that's over a tonne less than a TX1.
