The Volkswagen Lupo is a compact city car produced by Volkswagen from 1998 to 2005, designed to be an efficient and agile urban vehicle. Available primarily in a three-door hatchback body style, it featured a range of small-displacement engines focused on fuel economy. The Lupo was notable for its compact dimensions, making it ideal for tight city environments, but it also retained Volkswagen’s build quality and driving dynamics. Over its production span, the Lupo saw minor updates while maintaining its core identity as a practical and economical urban car.
