It is called the up! - at least, in Volkswagen-speak - and promises plenty for anyone who wants, or needs, a 21st century city car.
The Up is considerably smaller than the Polo at just 3.54 metres long, 1.64 metres wide and 1.48 metres tall, but has a four-seater body sitting behind a new generation of three-cylinder engines.
Volkswagen says the car will be ready for the road in December and promises three models - the Take Up, Move Up and High Up.A fully-electric Up is also in the works.Economy will start in the 4.2 litres/100km region with emissions below 100 grams/kilometre of CO2.The most important option on the Up is a new city-safety system with automatic emergency braking, but there is also an infotainment system that includes navigation and can be removed from the car for use as what VW describes as a Personal Infotainment Device.
There is no news yet on pricing, or arrival timing for the Up in Australia, with full details expected next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
