My shortlist before making my decision: Audi RSQ3 Audi RS3 Audi RS5 BMW M340i BMW X3 M340i Cupra Formentor VZ5 Last Edition. Tested all of them thoroughly, compared assembly quality and materials used, compared technology and of course, price. Formentor won overall. Never took 1st place in any category except price but it was the runner-up or top 3. It's literally the best all rounder
Whilst this is faster 0-100 than my 2014 RS4 avant, I would still rather have my car for the practicality (not fuel wise) and the awesome sound of the N/A V8. But this is definitely a better proposition than an RS3 or RSQ3 imo. Agree with Autotopnl there.
These times man, a blink of an eye and all V10 Sedans are gone in the name of fake "caring about the world" or "going green" while cargo ships with multiple giant 30+litre V16 engines are powered by the same old oil... I'm so tired of this, please bring back proper euro cars :'3
my ex boss has a pre OPF RS3 facelift (built for half a year I think), absolute dream car, the sound with the RS exhaust is mad, it just sounds so illegal.
@@LKS98 New Ferrari Pusonague litlle bigger but hell its nice car or Toyota GR Corolla,Mercedes A class,Audi RS3 Sportback,Mercedes AMG A45S....to me nothing looks better than A45S or RS3 sportback.
@@joe125ful those are not crossovers and u cant compare the ones that are in completely different price point, also i was looking at the finnish and european market, my bad for not making the comment clearer
Rly A45S and RS 3 Sportback are highly comparable. AMG A45S cost under 50k with 381Hp. RS3 Sportback 55K. Toyota GR Corolla under 40K with 300Hp. Maybe RS3 is litlle bigger but both other cars are just best what you can get now. And paying 70k+ when A45S cost half less and looks ways better...just why:)
I like the brass-colored accents and I'm pleasantly surprised by the engine sound. And a total absence of pops and bangs! I'd prefer this totally over a Golf R, then give it a tuning job.
not doing Cupra justice, they're way cooler than any Seat or VW - I'd get a Cupra over those cars all day and I'm happy there's affordable engine options and EVs. I Like the Born.
nah, all that gamer pc design makes them look like a boyracer cars and all them are basically vw platforms (nothing ba about that). but i agree on this one its a bit different and as someone else mentioned, provably best pick in sporty "suv" segment (lets leave super-brands out for now). i remember now years ago when ford europe division delivered 5cy focus rs- that has amazing sound, which too bad because of restrictions is not possible i guess to achieve (i actually hate that high pitch cracks and pops, give me a base, not that dsg farting). with that kind of sound that would be cherry on top. but still overall, great mix, wouldn't mind to have (or something similiar in vagon version) , if i could spare that amount of cash on car..
Why the hate for the Born? Perfectly convenient little EV. Shares the same interior and a lot of exterior stylings with Formentor and recent SEAT cars. Nothing to write home about but a good all rounder. Quite nippy @6.5 seconds to 100kph and good in urban areas. While my ❤ is with Porsche, the Born has been a nice fun little commuting and shopping car.
Because it’s outsold. They were only 7.000 pieces available worldwide and only for markets where the Formentor was sold in late 2021. can’t order a VZ5 since the beginning of November 23
I noticed you said you cannot buy the 300 hk Leon anymore, but uhh, what about the 2024 Leon? It is coming soon, if it isn't already released. 300 hk hatchback and a 310 hk sportstourer (station wagon).
CUPRA FORMENTOR VZ5 CAR I THINK EXTERIOR APPEARANCE IS BEAUTIFUL, INTERIOR DESIGN LIKE 100 DE 50 I GIVE YOU 100 DE12, YOU THINK FERRARI CLASSIC SHOW US AGAIN
hoe zou je deze vergelijken met de Stelvio Q? Sta op het punt nieuwe wagen aan te schaffen en twijfel sterk tussen nieuwe of net nieuwe Stelvio Q of Grecale als duurste variant of net niet nieuwe VZ5 welke een wel een flink stuk goedkoper is. Outsider ook nog de mini clubman s jcw (ook flink goedkoper). Alle zijn bedoeld om op lichte vracht / grijs kenteken te zetten. Heb alle reviews gezien afzonderlijk maar wat is het verschil prijs/ performance onderling naar jullie aanvoelen?
Your chrono are always very optimistic. So that car which is 300 kg heavier than a 718 GT4 with PDK and sport chrono pack, having 30 hp less, is quicker on a 0 to 100 than the Porsche? 🤔🤔
Thats quite easy. The VZ5 has nearly the same power, more torque and a very good AWD. The GT4 is maybe 200 kg lighter, not 300 kg. We measured the VZ5 with 1630 kg. That thing is not an SUV. It is just a slightly higher hot hatch.
i'm in the same boat. M340i new is somewhere around 75k euros with all discounts applied while one of the last edition Cupra Formentors VZ5 in the stunning century bronze matte finish, brand new, is somewhere around 50k euros after discounts. BMW has the best infotainment, amazing driving position and the equivalent of ea855 evo in the inline 6 category which is the B58. Quality isn't much better, but there's a difference when it comes to materials being used. The actual assembly is a tad bit better on the Formentor to be honest. I tested both thoroughly and even if they had the same price tag, VZ5 is faster and feels 10 times more special. IMO it's a no brainer. VZ5 all the way
Did you know that in Belgium, if you want to have a personalized number plate like this one featured above, it wil cost you ONE THOUSAND €!!! Me being extremely generous to the Luxembourgish Government, it only cost 50 €! God bless Luxembourg!!! And I have an RS3 from 2018 with no OPF.

Even though the 4.2 V8 is not the fastest, the whole car is so emotional I would take it any day. Congrats, great car
I love the way these sound. They've got one for sale in Algeciras, Spain for ~€70k.
Dude this car is rocket good looking and that logo is a head turner !

Americans never learned that this car exists until they played Forza Horizon 5.
many people dont know that theres a version with the rs3 engine😮
This is it...
In my opinion the sound is very nice
Ill make sure to say hi to Matias when he comes here
That's a nice Seat!

WOW this car looks awesome !!! :)
Too bad this is not in the USA. Lovely sounding.
Recently they've anounced that Cupra will get to the States in the late 20s.
Cupra born isn’t that bad. Personally prefer it over the VW ID3 to be honest.
Cupra just launched in Australia and the dumb muppets didn't bring the VZ5 here! I would buy this car in an instant

To be honest It will smoke an RSQ3 🤣 anyday of the week
Is the passenger seat still manually operated?

They only brought 10 of these to the UK out of the 7000 ever built, so a LHD one is incredibly rare and collectable.

Ik zou voor deze cupra gaan. Mini is gay en de alfa romeo is twijfelachtige kwaliteit.
The Cupra Leon that was released not so long ago I think I have seen 3 of them? Not many at all
Only 10 being sold in the UK.....hmm no chance of getting one then
wish it was the vsx because not many places got the vz5 and they didn't release many either so it's pointless
