Who else is most impressed by their ability to engineer real buttons for their steering wheel? 🙋♂️
I feel like the styling of this makes it a little baby URUS. Cool
Who would have though that one day Seat, well actually its a legit Cupra model, will get engine from RS3 and rear diff from Golf R. Cool stuff happened there.
Yeah, truly a nice thing, maybe. But I fail to see the point why would you get this over Audi RS3 or RS Q3? It certainly isn't more nicer or beautiful and I doubt they'd consider it because it's a bit cheaper. lol
@@miloslogic I'd rather get the new RS3 sedan then this and then RSQ3. The only nice looking SUVs from Audi are Q7 and Q8 imo. And that's coming from a huge audi fan.
@@fuhrerhosty Interesting. I would say that the Q8 and Q3 Sportback are the nicest Q cars currently. I am not a fan of the RSQ8 however. In terms of A cars, the A7 is hands down the best IMHO, followed by the A5 which I see as it's sister (more feminine). Then, it is the A1 (which has _beautiful_ lighting - you could argue best in the range). The rest are as beautiful as the Audi name is known for :)
@@miloslogic because it’s like 10k cheaper. The reason they didn’t release this in the uk is because it would kill the sales of the RS3 massively from how much cheaper it is. And to some it’s more practical and better looking then the rs3 but that’s just the opinion of some
Not going to lie but even though I am not German, I believe this is definitely my favourite car review channel.
You re very welcome!
Me too i thought he was soo informative.
I love the sound of that 5cyl engine.
ok this is a great car ,love the video Thomas
thanks!!
I bet you love your job Thomas 😁 nice! 👍🏴
If not touchscreens lesser version would be a perfect car for me but as it is today, no thanks. Bring again knobs and good old buttons please. We still want them.
Nice video as always. Looking great in shorts.
😁
Very good review 😁😃👍🚗
I very love this car 😍😍
Wish they had this in North America, looks amazing
Didn't know German channel was in English, thanks for that! Very good looking, sounding and handling car, one of my favorites, a real sleeper performance car. I once had a Audi with the five cylinder, and yes it has great sound. If I had anywhere to drive like that I would consider this car. As I normally can only do urban commute I went the other way and has ordered the one liter eTSI DSG7 Leon ST. It's one hell of a slow car, but a lot higher mpg, a much larger boot and in essential the same interior. I made sure to get the lesser version of the MIB3 system, as it still has two physical knobs and physical buttons for all the main menus. Much better imho. The only thing I would miss from this Cupra Formentor in real life is the much better front seats it has. Cool car, and cool driving, by yourself anyway. Thanks again!
Welcome 🙏
waited soooo long for this! Love the FORMENTOR!
Great car...need this in right hand drive....and i love that it has buttons
thank you Thomas 👏 this is the Forementor we were waiting for 🤗 pity it will not be avaliable for the RHD market 🥺
When will the Polo Gti 2022 be reviewed? Will it come in a manual? Is it possible to put the non touch steering wheel from the pre-facelifted (not the previous gen) polo gti in this one if this one has touch? Thanks in advance and love the content!!!!
Amazing
What happened at the end of the video :( Anyhow, always the most pleasant car reviews in youtube! Salute from Chile.
Highly appreciated!!
Tuned will be beast
It would look better without the round small fog lamp, but it's just me 😁. 👍
Thomas’ Drifting skills WOW who knew?!
🤟
You will break those thumbs one day Thomas.
Great video as always 👍🏻🚙🚙👌 when Will you testdrive the new IONIQ 5?
thanks!! This weekend actually!
@@autogefuehl great. I ordered one AWD Advanced 305ps
Nice review of a nice car! However lack of hydraulic lifters for the bonnet is pathetic in the car like this...
I was driving the other week, and saw this beast ahead of me. I sped up to catch up to it just to see what car it was. The rear lights were so beautiful.
The new Cupra & Formentor are too sexy.
The little spanish Lamborghini Urus
Thomas,
Thanks again, it's becoming more and more complicated to find objective journalists mentioning also drawbacks of the cars they test.
I guess you didn't have time to ask a lot of questions to Cupra people but do you happen to know if the fabric seats will only be paired with the 999 Taiga grey units, with brown dashboard too? (I assume Sabelt buckets will be standard).
Mach weiter so!
Thanks!! Only microfibre seats available in a brown trim they said, all other full animal
Great video, I read that the breaks are from Akebono, is that correct?
100% correct.
so good inside
so good outside
so good on road
never think that SEAT can make PERFECT SUV 😊
I want one.
You have been in Parc Castellolí in Catalonia !! Close where I live !! Enjoy it Thomas !! And as always, superb vid man !!!!!!
Beautiful area!
@@autogefuehl I'm also a neighbour of the zone, so funny watch your video today driving in the same roads I drive everyday! You allways wellcome to Spain.
Beautiful Spain 🇪🇸👌
Someone’s having a great time ragging that car about the cones … noice! That quad exhaust looks brilliant! Shame that Cupra have inverted VW group’s terrible laggy touchscreen system.
In the old days, an SUV would roll over with that cone stuff, but way better now!
It’s not really a SUV, it’s way too low, you almost sit the same as in the golf
I wish that SUV-trend would die off together with touch-screen interfaces in cars.
But I sure hope they finally continue to put that 5-cyl engine in more cars (but from looking at VW / Audi history they are more likely to kill it off as soon as it gets popular).
don't forget fake vents, fake exhausts and shiny black plastic in the cabin. Then cars will be good again :)
Yup. And with all the progress in composites and metals one could think they could get the weight down.
I sure miss my -85 Audi 80 and the A2 from weight point. Considering getting an A2 again but they are getting old.
i want one
Hey nice view but this beast fast 0-100 4.1 sec but be can better 4 sec or lower but drift mode is best they done bravo audi and best stability in class suv same like Kona N performance but this cupra is killer in the road any suv same class level.
Thank you, Thomas for an excellent video, I am very interested in the Formentor VZ5, of course depending also on the price. I have a question for you: when I have tested the Audi RSQ3 Sportback, I have noticed a clear lag at kick-down when in low rpm. This was also mentioned in public test drives, for example as mentioned by Matt Watson, who said it is due in fact to a lack of reaction of the DSG gearbox. When I testdrove the Formentor VZ 2.0TSI 310 PS, there was no such lag. What can you say about the Formentor VZ5 in this respect, does it have a lag at kick-down in low rpms? Thank you!
Thanks! Yes there is such thing, I also once did a separate video on this Because we were asking for it
th-cam.com/video/Q87emkHLsSI/w-d-xo.html
So this can happen
I’d rather just happens when you do a full kick down in certain situation
@@autogefuehl Thank you Thomas for the answer and the link. I have driven a lot of cars with DSG/S-Tronic and to me and also to a friend of mine the lag seemed the most awkward and irritating with the 2.5 TFSI....And the most irritating scenario is where for example, you are slowing down into a corner, downshifting, and then getting back on the throttle - the kick on the throttle is met by a significant delay until the turbo has boost again and the car takes off. Are there maybe any walkarounds? It is such a pity because otherwise, the 2.5 TFSI is such a glorious engine, but since the Formentor VZ 2.0TSI 310PS is not showing such lag, I might consider the lower engine for this specific reason only.....
I can't figure out why VW won't use this engine in the Arteon.
@@OooohReally I'm speaking about the Arteon, not the golf.
@@AbrahamFarrell Oh snap wrong video in my mind , i'll delete my comment. DAMN YOU TH-cam COMMENT NOTIFICATIONS (raised fist in the air) lol 😆 my bad bro!
@@OooohReally No problem.
Probably the tail wagging the dog (Audi saying no)☹️
@@AbrahamFarrell my opinion, the 5 cylinder belongs only is an AUDI RS MODELL...and Audi said NO...👍
Proper buttons on the steering wheel that aren't disgusting gloss black. Shame about the capacitive sliders.
Genesis gv70 review please
That thing looks dope. Wish we had it here in the States 😔
I would love to have this thing over an rs3
Hey man if u check many test with vz 2 u see is faster same like a hatchback car but this suv not mid car so why this cupra formentor is so fxxx crazy fast ever see suv in the world same level category suv lest start of the point this suv cupra use antispin Haldex gen that why starts fast without delay never spin not vz2 not vz5 both is crazy superfast better that SQ3 I found on yt best results 0-100 4.5 clean road and on snow 4.7 sec vz2 and vz5 by Daniel abt 4.1 sec be can better 4 sec. Beast and better aerodynamic and stability of that audi.
I'd have an RS3 sedan
Only coming to the UK LHD?
Shame that
sehr schönes auto besser als die ev matchbox
Do we know the price and release date? Great test!
Should be possible to order w34, haven't seen an official price yet
61.500 € is the price
Stick the Golf R rear diff in the outgoing TTRS please Audi! But don't update the exhaust note!
What is the time from 0 to 100?
4.1 seconds on another video. The published time I think is 4.2 seconds. I think its potentially capable of sub 4 in the right conditions from what I have seen. Absolutely outperforms the RSQ3 in every sense.
Why hasn't the VW Human Interface design team not been fired yet? They are the main reason people are choosing other brands.
🇪🇸👍
When will you reveiw the KIA Sorento PHEV?
will this be coming to the estate and a 4wd hatch?
If this have engine from RS3 soooooo....the new CUPRA Leon ST 4drive may have 6 cylinder engine from new RS4 and it would have just 400HP maybe, its just my idea
No. Not possible physically.
Seat isn't that lucky, but vw passat (3b) had Audi a4 engine layout and suspension... and with that generation the best vw ends. No more.
Choice of engines - v6, vr5, w8 syncro
You could fit S4, RS4 engine too.
2008 Lexus IS-F exhaust pipes
Nice German car
put this engine in a leon along with the 4wd :(
Will VW ditch the Seat brand and make only Cupra?!
Why should that happen? There’s a huge market for cheaper VWs in Europe. Seats and Skodas sell well.
This how you see Audi is really the core brand of the Volkswagen group.
Audi A1 40 TFSI = Volkswagen Polo GTI
Audi SQ2 = Volkswagen T-Roc R
Audi S3 = Volkswagen Golf R
Audi RS Q3 = Cupra Formentor VZ5
Audi SQ5 TFSI = Porsche Macan S
Audi RS Q8 = Lamborghini Urus
Audi R8 = Lamborghini Huracan
Audi A8 W12 = Bentley Flying Spur
Mistake they made cupra a seperate brand, nice car nontheless.
Why?
Too expensive now for the working class, even if its a seat, bad times for car lovers with limited budgets. I mean, i bet this one wil cost more then 60.000....
No fan of 5 cyl, I'm waiting for 7 cyl from VW Nice review, Thomas
Cupra needs to change the badge if they want people to take them seriously.
So does your icon.
The engine is the only thing that saves this car.
I belive that this VZ5 is limited edition and CUPRA will only make 500 of these with 2.5l engines
Why?
7000 units
@@Pupenhausen because that's the only good thing 😅. The rest of the car is pretty budget.
@@dragospahontu It's not though, the handling is great and you get many items you'd have to pay extra for with another brand as standard on this car. They aren't charging bmw/audi performance prices either...
Cupra is more powerful than a VW, Skoda is more luxurious than a VW. Is VW now really moving toward electric vehicles? Nope, Enyaq is still better than ID4. VW is killing itself.
Tbh the exhaust looks really, really bad. Besides the nice seats for me personally, there would be no reason to pay over 10K more for this car. 300hp with AWD and a better looking exhaust is more worth it than this. Not mentioning that the sound of the 5-cyl is awful. Sounds like a sports car from a videogame in 1995.
Wtf hard plastics and crappy infotainment. Hard pass at this price.
What's the price?
What a pointless gimmick of a car, drifting an SUV? Is this what vehicle manufacturers think people want?
Trust me, some car enthusiasts can only afford 1 car in the household and often have to ditch a car that's fun to drive once they have multiple kids and need a more practical car to replace it with.
Often "practical" means a tradeoff on the quality of fun driving experience.
No, drifting an SUV isn't a thing to expect. However just demonstrating that drifting is possible shows the handling quality of the car. This is just for demonstration only. Not pointless at all. I think you just misunderstood the purpose of doing that.
Just like how Volvo demonstrates their XC40 on an obstacle course to show their new multi platform chassis rigidity but people think wrong they think its meant to show "off roading ". 👍 its all good though the reviewer should of said why he did that instead of assuming everyone is aware of how vehicle dynamics demonstrations are conducted.
@@OooohReallythe normal cupra Formentor 310cv it's really 3cm taller than a Cupra Leon, so no so much SUV, it's more like a crossover or a Leon with 3cm more and it's 5cm wider. No great compromises on the drivers side. And the vz5 is 1cm less than the 310cv Formentor. Its very different from a traditional SUV
It's what people want, but people won't do irl. It's a gimmick so car journalists can say the car is cool on a TH-cam video
Definitely not an SUV, I've got a VZ 310 and it's only slightly taller than my wife's A4
