Volkswagen Lupo facts for kids
The Volkswagen Lupo was a small car made by the German company Volkswagen. It was produced from 1998 until 2005. The Lupo was designed to be a "city car," which means it was great for driving in busy towns and fitting into small parking spots.
The SEAT Arosa was a very similar car to the Lupo. This is called "badge-engineering." It means two different car brands make almost the same car, but they put their own badges and small design changes on it. So, the Arosa was like the Lupo's twin from SEAT, another car company owned by Volkswagen.
