Volkswagen Chico

Automobiles

The Volkswagen Chico is a concept car that Volkswagen made in the summer of 1992, a study for a small 2+2 hatchback. It was powered by two engines that could work in tandem for a boost in power, a 34 PS two-cylinder engine and an 8 PS electric motor, and it was never developed into any production model. Volkswagen had earlier used the name Chicco, with a double c, for another project car from 1975 of a similar size. The name Chico was later proposed for an upcoming city car based on the up! concept car, which had been expected to launch in the United States and the United Kingdom in July 2012 and would have been the smallest model of the up! range, with two doors and two seats.
