Its maker reckons new SUV 'perfectly matches electrocution and performance' - it will need to
By almost any measure, Cupra has done a fine job of launching new compact SUVs. Lest we forget, the brand kicked off with the Ateca, a car that managed to not make a complete pig's ear of its MQB underpinnings or its Golf R-shared powertrain. That was followed in 2021 by the, which came in lots of forgettable flavours but also a 310hp one that sold very well. There are currently 313 examples available.
This means you get 5.5-second-to-62mph performance alongside a 324-mile range . You’ll need to buy into the styling of course - which aren’t as cleverly differentiated as the Formentor’s - and you’ll need to be comfortable with the £55,935 asking price. Or £60,835 for the range-topping VZ2 trim. If that sounds a wee bit punchy, it is: an entry-level Porsche Macan, with 360hp and 399 miles of projected range, starts at £67,200.
If that inclines you to look heavenward and wonder what the world is coming to, then rest assured it is at least part of a wider strategy - specifically one that involves taking Cupra far enough upmarket that we all forget its spiced-up Seat origins. Is a Chinese-built, slightly meh-looking, battery-powered crossover the way to do that? At face value, and in this market, probably not.
