When u are trying to blend so many types of car into one u are never going to tick all the boxes, however I think Cupra have done an amazing job with this CUV, really impressive. I love it's unashamedly Max power bad boy styling !

[@FoolOfAToke]

As an American, I am oddly jealous of the Cupra brand. They tend to be practical cars, just "hotted up". I don't even really WANT them, I just like that they exist as practical, fun cars.

[@knecht6974]

Its a better priced VW R

[@davidhughmurrayuk]

Oh. Pontiac.

[@thepeller210]

You can get them in Mexico, they do 499mph

[@SuperEtab]

VW doesn’t care about the North American market. Their products are crap here. Crap Jetta, TAOS, Tiguan, Atlas all cheap and heartless. Audi does well here, but the whole VW division has been neglected.

[@richardmahoney9415]

As a fellow American I feel the same about Cupra I can’t think of a U.S brand that mates fun practical really good looking cars that are too expensive if they sold this in the U.S it would be a good selling vehicle I think a lot of American buyers would buy this

[@eoin]

As a person who sells this product I can confirm that’s it’s fantastic! I would recommend the VZ2 2.0 TSI DSG 310 you will not be disappointed! Magnetic Grey paint with Petrol Blue interior. Does also come with the option of Matt paint.

[@jamesulbot]

Any idea what the steering / assist hold is for at the dealerships?

[@RickUnwin]

@@jamesulbot steering/ assist hold?

[@astarfitness2182]

Graphine grey or black?🤔🤔🤔

[@RickUnwin]

@@astarfitness2182 metallic magnetic grey is my preference ( not only cos that's what mine is) just think it shows off the different angles well and looks different under different light. The graphene grey looks nice too. I personally wouldn't go for black as some of the trim is black and cupra lettering and I think it all blends in too much. Each to their own though!

[@alfrredd]

VZ5 with RS3 390hp will be a beast 😍😍

[@pruthvibhojani3043]

[@HansDelbruck53]

What the hell's minecraft?

[@DS-pk4eh]

I test drive the this car (with this same red paint), and after an hour of driving I wasn't ready to give it back. It is great car. Sporty but practical. Not so great mpg but it comes with the power it has. Comes from the start with load off technology (like adaptive cruising with wheel turning to follow the lane (almost self driving). I got 4.6sec/100Kmh but that was with my phone app, so maybe not exact. But it feels very fast, very playful. And in the same time, you can drive like a normal car, and again, for traffic jams, my favorite option, adaptive cruising that stops and starts follows the car in front of you. Probably buying. Still undecided about the color, as the salesman said that mat finish is hard to maintain(wash). And I want that dark grey mat paint. We'll see.

[@alfrredd]

4:55 THERE will also be a limited edition, RS3-derived, 5 cylinder, 390hp option. THE BIGGEST BOY

If Cupra really want to seriously be considered as a performance marque, they need to be making an out and out sports car. Maybe they should be launching a car based on the same platform as the rumoured upcoming electric boxster/cayman?

[@ghost_lukh]

Love it, its a pity we don't get it in South Africa. They tried with Seat (lovely car plus I think it looks better than the Golf) but had to be discontinued due to the fact that nothing outsells Golf in South Africa. Ford tried with ST, Opel/Vauxhall tried with OPC but all failed and discontinued those models, Hyundai their now trying with I30N and I am afraid they gonna suffer the same fate come MK7 8.

[@pastorofmuppets8834]

I30N is doing very well in Australia, the seat brand suffered the same fate as in SA

Really surprised to see a new vw group without touch buttons. Two new cars from vw group are going to launched here in India, vw taigun and skoda kushaq, and most the buttons on these cars are going to be touch buttons. No volume knob or no physical ac controls.

[@krane15]

As was I. These touches are what a proper interior from the entire brand should all look like (save the integrated head rests, which I hate). It doesn't have that cheapened-down feeling.

[@R-Tap]

Some subtle DBX cue's (queue's?) from the rear?

[@magnustan841]

That is one hunk of a car, I could stare at it for a long time, with my mouth watering all the way.... Couple with a nice interior and a surprisingly wide range of engine options, that is one hell of a package. Although, I want to highlight that “based on an Ateca” at the start (1:02) so it is still based on a standard Seat??

[@AndreyBk92]

Formentor is based on MQB platform and Ateca, Leon, Golf, Tiguan, A3/S3/RS3, Q3, Octavia etc share parts and powertrains. To be more exact Formentor is based on MQBevo and its closest relatives are Golf 8, Octavia mk4, A3 mk4, Leon mk4. (Ateca is MQB A1 version of platform)

[@alfrredd]

They're not going to make a new platform just for one model lol, it's shared across Volkswagen.
