I love my VZ5 390 HP and great prices on the secondary market. This car is so fast also in the turns tanks to the Torque spitter. I had a Abt Chipt VZ with 370HP and the Differenz to the VZ5 is like day and night even though it "it only has 20hp more" it feels in comparison like 100HP more. And im so much faster in the turns.

[@dr-ok3sn]

the title/thumbnail is technically wrong and also at 1:09, the T-Roc is sitting on the old MQB-A1 platform while the Formentor is on MQB evo, so they are not twins, the third generation Tiguan would be the real twin😅 otherwise great review as always!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks for the addition! What I want to say is that the base platform is the same and they are also almost equivalent size and competitors from these two brands internally

[@igorbia3766]

yeah, it's more of a tiguan, especially in dimension's

[@dr-ok3sn]

⁠@@autogefuehlwell, still kinda wrong😅 it's not the same base platform, the only thing that they have in common is the "MQB" name, fwd architecture and some engines, they are even shared on MLB. the real twins of the T-Roc are the Škoda Karoq and Seat Ateca! the Formentor is technically nothing but a Seat (Cupra) Leon KL on stilts, that one is also on MQB evo and not the old MQB-Ax😉

[@dr-ok3sn]

@@igorbia3766that's actually true, in case of the Tiguan III. they don't have the same dimensions, but the same wheelbase, and that is more important in this case.

thank God they kept the buttons in the steering wheel... I hate the new "haptic" touch things in the new cars

[@GBIGBIGBI]

Great review Thomas! I currently drive an Ateca FR 1.5 TSI. i could have chosen the Formentor but the first generation was not convincing enough for me. I also like the extra headroom and trunk space with the Ateca. The new Formentor looks great and I might consider chosing it when I replace my Ateca in the future.

[@sierrag8412]

Never understood why so many brands use that disgusting cheap scratchy textured plastic on top of the doors. Is the $25 in savings really worth it? Just use the soft touch plastic, no one is asking for full nappa leather with contrast hand stitching in a 35k car but stop with the cheap crap

[@lfm18808]

Also, they could at least add a bit of ambient lighting there as well

[@matthewp9015]

VAG made over 9 million vehicles last year. $25 x 9 million… that’s a big saving.

[@rmpumper]

Most cars rarely carry passengers in the rear, so it's not that important.

[@akhiln997]

They want customer to miss the soft touch so much that they upgrade to the brand premium model in the next 2,3, or 5 years, which give more profit to car manufacturers

[@ChR0nos_7734]

I'm not sure if I like it or not. I feel like pre-facelift looked more angry, more BMW kinda way. This looks like Honda/Kia/Hyundai They kept front fog lights which is quite distinctive on Formentor Rear logo really didn't need to be illuminated. Pre-facelift rear turn signals looked cooler Thank god for actual buttons on steering wheel. I just hope infotainment system isn't still bugged like on current cars I really hope they stick 5 cylinder again in it. Audi (VAG) needs to keep 5 cylinder alive as long as possible

[@krane15]

I agree with these illuminated logos. They can appear gaudy at times. If you could switch them off/on in the infotainment lighting I wouldn't mind.

[@user-ix3nu4vx7k]

Yet another great review. The Sennheiser speakers on the doors also look nice. It's also great the the plug in hybrid now comes with the better 1,5 liter motor like the new VW Golf. Thomas did you ignore the horrible copper tone fake exhausts this time..? They do not seam real. Do we know when they going to release the facelifted Seat Leon? It'll be interesting if the lights change to "three triangle style" also on it. Go Martorelli!

[@dusandestanovic5884]

Such an awesome car.

[@pascalkrzeminski7341]

Very nice front and rear. Good design by Cupra

[@livingstonep]

Helpful video. In reality, the face-lift seems fairly minimal. Granted the front is changed, but side profile and interior looks much the same. Welcome upgrade on PHEV engine, battery & charging, though probably not quite far enough. Tweaks, rather than major changes.

[@mihnealazar7039]

Well facelifts generally only change "plastic parts", headlights, taillights, front bumper, rear bumper. That's the whole point. Changing the side would be much more expensive. As far as facelifts go I'd say this is middle grounds since the entire front is changed. Audi for examples has actual minimal facelifts, just look at the 2019 A6 and 2024 A6. They only changed the grille and front bumper a bit.

[@Chris-kc3qj]

You have to rip the isofix holes, they are not open as standard when you buy a formentor, we had the same issue with both our formentors.

[@andras.89]

Non-shiny buttons and knobs on steering wheel are huge positive, compared to that the "sliding" roof capacitibe BS is ridicilous :') Anyways, one step to the right direction once again with more physical controls!

I now want to replace on my pre fl version is the center console leather side bits, thats it. I like the real bumper also. Side reflectors look great. Good job Cupra with the interior and the rear upgrades 👍🏻

[@lfm18808]

I noticed that. Should be an easy retrofit, they seem to be same size, only issue may be the cost of Cupra original parts…

Will the basic lights (without Matrix) also have animated welcome LED lights with animated turn signal like now? Or for facelift its only with Matrix

[@NunoxFerreira]

VZ5 is such a beast!!😊

[@catalicos]

Some nice upgrades, but the prices seem to have gone up quite a bit. I got mine at the start of production in 2021 so I believe I got a good deal then. I don't know if I would pay some 10k more now.. even with the upgrades. Apart from the matrix LEDs, which were not available when I ordered mine, I wouldn't say there's any significant upgrade that I'm missing or that would have me want it. Honestly, my only complaint with the current generation is the cupholders, which were not even upgraded in the new model 😅

[@lfm18808]

You can open and close the trunk in the current one from the inside as well, at least when it has the automatic opening

[@scottthompson7009]

Hardly anyone buys Cupra in Australia. I think because it is a new brand at a fairly high price point. There are literally only 24 Formentors advertised on Australia’s largest car sales website including new and used. I am interested to know if the quality stack up to the price? I like the brand and formentor styling but unsure if they are worth the money vs VW or Skoda.

[@Paiva555]

I honestly like the new "shark nose" front... but dont like the new 3 dots (triangular) signature lights

[@jaxonpl42]

Interesting, I have the exact opposite opinion :D glad to see somebody likes it, I like the brand and hope they grow.

[@serhattufan]

Apart from the looking, they finally improved some annoying problematic things with facelift introduction which are non-illuminated multimedia screen touch buttons(climate, volume) , non-cooled wireless charging unit, intermittently non-working overhead console(same desing but supplier has been changed finally). Good step forward. Now it is time to implement the adjustable 2-same size cup holder, frame-less rear view mirror, door pocket and glove box fabric coating with new model after facelift 😀

Also they lost the levers to lower the rear seats for some reason. The rear doors still look really cheap, they could have at least added ambient lighting…

You can tell they have really identified their target audience when you see that they spent money on designing triangles on the bottom part of the door cards but they didnt include felt inside of the bottle holders.

[@robsmall6466]

Cupra is a sub brand to Seat. Originally hot Seat's came with a Cupra badge ( you also had FR as well which were not as quick ). VW decided to have Cupra go it alone. A little like Toyota and Lexus but Cupra is sold as a young, sporty brand rather than luxury. Apparently it's gone well enough that the VW group are looking to keep Cupra but potentially drop Seat completely in the not too distant future. You could still purchase FR model Seat's but they are the equivalent of N Line at Hyundai ( bodywork without the engineering to back it up ).

Agree

[@paulklp8262]

The old front looked like a pre-facelift Hyundai i30 lol

[@michaltran3081]

Fake exhausts?

[@RandomTheories]

hi, love the rewievs, but can you at least put in text the "kW" next to your "horsepower"? I do not own any horses, but i have plenty of devices with output in Watts or kiloWatts...thanks

[@MichaelLarsenmla]

Hi Thomas. What about the 2.0 TSI 4x4 in the current line up, won't that engine come in the face lift as well? Thanks in advance. /Michael

Looks like a Decepticon, really cool design.

[@bbogdanmircea]

Cupra is killing with their design lately all their cars are much better looking than VW

[@alexhodgkinson618]

Front end design a massive downer compared to previous model.

[@rytiskurcinskas7179]

every single formentor i saw was being driven by a 50/60 year old in nardo grey................. this will suit them well too

[@Ramzes945]

Front looks like a Bejing or BYD to me

[@t7ank]

But where is leon? Cant wait for the video.

[@N1ckZ]

Why would anyone buy a Leon when you can get a Formentor?

[@2Razzv]

@@N1ckZ cause Leon is much fun. I'm also looking for Leon and not Formentor.

[@arnausil]

​@@N1ckZ lower center of gravity and sportier look, I guess. They're also much much better handling than formentor (besides VZ5) and a bit cheaper.

[@t7ank]

Had a SUV/crossover for 7years. Went for Leon after it, and would not change back for SUV. Lower center gravity, smaller/cheaper tyres, less noise, lower consumption especially with doing a lot of kilometers. How many times did i need SUV to climb somewhere in 7years? 3 times.

[@autogefuehl]

Made a German video on the Leon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6bXqKNogbCemNEsi=iUk0ibenHHJ80wEw

It never fails. Every time I think I like a car from the VW Group you get to the infotainment and those annoying sliders begin to turn me away. Can't they just put bottoms and a physical slider. If they only designed it with a face plate I could replace it with something from the aftermarket similar to a light switch. Pity since Cupra's animation is one of the best I've seen yet. Although I still think the screen is mounted too high. Very nicely designed steering when with real buttons. Tasteful if not head turning. Wish there were a powered option. On the negative side, I really can't express how much I hate seat with integrated headrests. Its such a pretentious addition to a family SUV. Even a sporty one. Go for an 8 hour cross-country trip and you will long for more adjustments. The hard touch injection molded plastic in the rear is a let down. That's always the instant give away to an economy product. As far as exterior design goes, the Korean still have the advantage with their under spoiler wiper design, and rear view mirror camera. The wheels aren't ugly (like all EVs except Tesla), but they are of neutral styling. The package shelf that can't be stored away in the car is just a poor design. There's sufficient knee room in the rear -- even for long-legged Thomas -- but the seat cushion are short and low. Of course its a compact and a higher seat would eat into the head room. Exterior lighting, on the other hand, is tasteful without being gaudy or ostentatious (Do the rear window go all the way down?) I love the super-formed sheet metal and the hip creases on the rare finder. A very masculine design.

Since when? T roc is a B segment car, same as T cross or Taigo, but slightly bigger and Formentor is a C segment. Seat Arona is a B segment in Seat (all this by JATO Dynamic standards, so its official). Whole vw group sits on similar platform, cant be positioning cars by that standars

[@JamesZ888]

Hahah for me the front split design looks a bit like rav4

[@89DerChristian]

Too bad it is not electric, I like the Cupra design. Would like to see a Cupra Version of id.4 or so

[@adammccalden]

Tavasacan is the id5
