As an Australian, I’m very happy to hear Cupra is launching here next year with this as their first car. Best in its class. This will definitely be on my list.
@@Thisonegoestoeleven666 Good purchase. I was very impressed when I sat in the normal Octavia’s and RS. To me the Octavia is a poor man’s 3 Series, but it’s built almost as good in terms of quality and materials like the suede on the dash as a 3 Series with basically the only difference being that it’s not RWD. Here in Australia the RS is $60,000 AUD so if I were to buy one I would wait a bit. I haven’t driven it yet as Victoria has been in lockdown more than anywhere in the world thanks to our dictator but with restrictions easing I may drive the RS. Skoda have certainly come a long way.
Not only do I really like the styling of those emblems, for some reason I'm also just enamored with the coloring. Especially combined with black or dark grey body color, that dark copper is really sweet. I believe for my next car I'll be looking for a similar color combo, though unfortunately Cupra hasn't made its way to the US, but maybe VW or Audi?
The new Cupra symbol - It's an emblem. It symbolises the sense of belonging to a clan, the CUPRA clan”, says Jordi Font, the head of Color & Trim at SEAT. “The design of the inverted triangle was modelled on the attitude of tribal civilisations, on their courage and daring”, he adds. So there! 😂
I want one of these so badly. Sounds amazing, looks mad and an incredible spec. Best “affordable” SUV on the market (compared to range rover, Audi etc)
This is the first car I have ever owned where school kids stop and point!!!

I took Leon 1.5 eTSI because of fuel efficiency, but seeing this I am starting to regret. 4.3s. Man, this is wicked. BMW M3 e92 4.0 V8 with 420HP did 4.6s. Insane.

I've been waiting for this one. Are we going to get a Golf R, Cupra Ateca and Formentor drag race in the near future? Throw in the T-Roc R for good measure : )
They state it as “4.9s” 0-60 because VW don’t want it looking quicker than the more ‘premium’ VAG rivals on paper, it was the same story as the old Polo GTi, Fabia vRS, A1 185 and Ibiza Bocanegra, all had exactly the same engine and gearbox yet the Polo and A1 was listed as the quickest... funny that.

Saw one at the dealership. It's actually quite impressive in the flesh, looks muscular and aggressive. Black doesn't suit it very well I think. In blue it looked terrific.
A great car. Love it. I would definitely recommend it. My uncle has the 310hp vz version and from what I’ve seen it’s definitely worth it. Great looks, great tech and an amazing touch screen, great engine choices like every car in the vw group and very practical. One of the best in its category. Cupra did a great job.

Today I signed the contract for my first car ever which is a Formentor! (Plug-in hybrid version) and I did a test drive today and it is a really good car
I’m driving a Born for a few months. It looks and drives awesome and that logo projected on the floor at night makes me feel like I’m getting into a Batmobile. However it’s software is awkward. Infotainment system is a little slow and janky. Opening the main menu (where you need to go to change from comfort to range or sport mode) takes at least 30 seconds to load when the car just starts and on average 2 seconds when it’s running. Also the car always forgets your last setting and defaults to “comfort” which is super annoying. The app which should help you control charging also sucks. Made me walk to my car at midnight because it supposedly stopped charging only to find it charging just fine
I wanted to check Mat's choice, but I had to take so many unnecessary steps: 1- Find a postal code from UK; I live outside UK and had to check Google Maps to find a random postal code. 2- I had to give you my e-mail address. Since I know that you would spam my mail address, I had to find a temporary mail address. 3- You asked me to customize my mail preferences 4- You asked me whther I want to swop my car 5- Finally, you wanted me to create an account Going through all these steps convinced me to never visit your web site again. Please offer an easier solution for those who are only interested in the prices. Or maybe I don't know how these kind of web sites work at all.

I saw this car a few days ago for the first time in my life. I see it everyday I go to work. I thought this has to be some kind of sport crossover with such agressive look, plus pretty rare because of another country licence plates. Had no idea this is Volkswagen.
I've got a VZ1 E-Hybrid with 245bhp.. Honestly, best car I've owned. 0-60 Lies to you.. I've done under 5 seconds in this, and it says its supposedly 6.5 seconds. in terms of fuel economy.. if you have the hybrid, charge it when you can. It's the difference of 350 miles on the 40 litre tank, and nearly 900. Beautiful car, very comfortable to drive, I'm in love. dont shortlist it, BUY IT.

My Mrs pointed out that Mat's Instagram is basically
'Ma Twats On Cars'
and I can't unsee it 😂😂😂😂
My mum says that ma twat son 😭
Technically, it's accurate 🤔
😂😂😂😂😂😃😃
this car is one of the most comfortable cars i've had the pleasure of driving.
I’m driving a Born for a few months. It looks and drives awesome and that logo projected on the floor at night makes me feel like I’m getting into a Batmobile.
However it’s software is awkward. Infotainment system is a little slow and janky. Opening the main menu (where you need to go to change from comfort to range or sport mode) takes at least 30 seconds to load when the car just starts and on average 2 seconds when it’s running.
Also the car always forgets your last setting and defaults to “comfort” which is super annoying. The app which should help you control charging also sucks. Made me walk to my car at midnight because it supposedly stopped charging only to find it charging just fine
we have these at work, i like it short term, but long term use i dont know what it is but i just want to give it back..
This is a cool looking vehicle, awesome work sea- I mean cupra
Very good looking car interior and exterior wise. Puts a lot of established brands to shame.
I wanted to check Mat's choice, but I had to take so many unnecessary steps:
1- Find a postal code from UK; I live outside UK and had to check Google Maps to find a random postal code.
2- I had to give you my e-mail address. Since I know that you would spam my mail address, I had to find a temporary mail address.
3- You asked me to customize my mail preferences
4- You asked me whther I want to swop my car
5- Finally, you wanted me to create an account
Going through all these steps convinced me to never visit your web site again. Please offer an easier solution for those who are only interested in the prices. Or maybe I don't know how these kind of web sites work at all.

@@MovieViking oh ok I see, thanks
What about the upcoming 5-zylinder model of the Cupra Formentor? Wasn´t mentioned at all
Because it's not available in the UK, left hand drive only.
I saw this car a few days ago for the first time in my life. I see it everyday I go to work.
I thought this has to be some kind of sport crossover with such agressive look, plus pretty rare because of another country licence plates.
Had no idea this is Volkswagen.
Lamborghini and Ducati are Volkswagen as well haha
That's the most aggressive Mazda crossover I've ever seen
Tbh i personally love the badge of cupra it looks cool and this car looks awesome 🔥🔥
There's also a 5 cylinder petrol model coming later this year. :)
I've got a VZ1 E-Hybrid with 245bhp.. Honestly, best car I've owned. 0-60 Lies to you.. I've done under 5 seconds in this, and it says its supposedly 6.5 seconds.
in terms of fuel economy.. if you have the hybrid, charge it when you can. It's the difference of 350 miles on the 40 litre tank, and nearly 900.
Beautiful car, very comfortable to drive, I'm in love. dont shortlist it, BUY IT.
I waited for this one a while. Going for test drive in few days and this video help me. Going to replace my 2017 Audi S3 Salon.
Both Seat and Cupra plus Peugeot are the manufacturers with the best new designed cars at the moment, really cool cars compared to their rivals 👏🏻👏🏻
I love this car, I hate that Seat's aren't available anymore in Panamá
Very striking design. I hate the loss of real heater controls though.
I’m getting a 2021 cupra ateca and it is fantastic
I love the CUPRA badge and their cars!
4.3 sec to 60 for a 2.0l turbo SUV? That's great performance!
The badge is cool, I like it.
Very good looking!! Finally a car brand with some character and sportiness
I wonder if that LED light across the cockpit isn't super distracting during night?
