@@autogefuehl Hi Thomas, love the channel mate...Just wondering why they don't have a Terramar with the top spec 2 litre 330HP ( Golf R power) like the Formentor gets? Are they trying to keep the Formentor as the more "sportier" model or is the Terramar VZx coming later?
You guys should consider a TV show, you work so hard and have great chemistry, there are hardly and car review programs for regular cars. Great video as always. Danke
@autogefuehl I used to watch a Carwow or AutoTrader for any news and car reviews, but few years ago they became targeting only upper market, exotic vehicles which became unbearable to watch. Then I found out this gem of a chanel reviewing all sorts of vehicles. Budget, mid range, performance, exotic, electric etc etc. German presenter, speaking perfect, fluent English and reviewing a wide range of German cars does it get any better. With TopGear / Grand Tour trio on retirement you should do a car show.
I love your detailed reviews! One thing I wish you could add is a measurement between the top of the rear window to the top of the rear seats for large dog owners to know how comfortable their dog would feel in the rear. Thanks

No way bmw x1 is cheaper in neither price nor lease. Silmilar version of x1 is 10k euro more, also in countires with VWFS lease will aslo be cheaper on Curpa.
Great review as usual, with attention to details and calming presentation style! Thank you both for your efforts and keep it up! I noticed you showed there's no felt material in the door bins, which made me wonder: did you get the chance to see if the side windows are double-glazed or not? Those make a non-negligible difference in terms of heat and noise insulation, and the class/size/group sibling (the Tiguan) has those - as you mentioned in that review. Also the extra-laminated windscreen with heating (optional) on Tiguan would be nice to have on Terramar also, since it offers a lot of sun protection in the summer, but it's not even optional at Cupra. How did you find the overall soundproofing in the Terramar? Is it closer to Tiguan or rather more like the Formentor? It's easily understandable why the Fromentor would feel sportier by comparison, since the last VZ you reviewed (the facelift) had the 333HP 2.0 TSI and it is about 150 kg lighter compared to the Terramar. I'm also on the same page with you on one of your last remarks: I like the Tiguan package&practicality, but not too much it's esthetics. Not to mention the excess of glossy (piano) black they've used in the interior - which makes the Terramar interior a much more pleasant place to be.
I can't help noticing that any car in your reviews all seem to have a grab handle on all four door entries. Pretty much every car in Ireland seems to only have three grab handles (all car brand importers here seem to think Irish drivers do not heed a grab handle) ... Can't imagine this saves much in cost ot weight. I want a drivers grab handle... Please!
None. Go for a Mazda CX 60, Hyundai Kona (or Santa Fe if you want something bigger), Toyata Rav4 (or Hailander if you nedd something more spacious). Better cars, better realiability and better Price/Quality ratio.
Thomas one request: measure the height of the boot space as you did in the past, it is important. Nowadays, cars have very shallow trunk, resulting in poor practicality and false numbers of cargo space. Keep walking!
Lovely car, currently driving a 2.0tsi Ateca. One thing I’m not sure is whether it is possible to have the non bulky seats. My wife isn’t that big and she may find these seats not nice to sit on. Other than that it does look like a nice car.
@@autogefuehl Awesome, and thank you very much, will give that a watch! I am in the market for a 2021 A5 S-line, admittedly a coupe but would still like to hear what you have to say about the saloon version vs other Audi options :)
Thomas, if you maybe know... People are saying that this product has a newer tech when compared with refreshed Formentor. Do you maybe know what is missing in Formentor? Great review as always. :) Thanks :)
Thank you again for the detail. What strikes me about the inside is just how alike it is to every other VW/Audi brand using this platform. As with Skoda, Cupra have done their best to make the UI/UX work with buttons and other style cues. What really lets both brands down, which is VW/Audi’s fault, is the awful iPad on the dashboard with the incompetent touch screen and terrible software. Having heard the pricing, it is not conceivably worth the money for such mediocrity. What would you have instead of this? Something from Alfa, Mini, or Smart; maybe even a low end BMW 1 of some kind.
@@autogefuehl Yes I think BMW are getting the market offers of both cars and price more than most in Europe. You might want to look again at what France and Italy are doing with Renault and Stellantis.
Despite being linked to the Audi Q3, I am seeing similarities in the shape to the Audi Q4-etron, maybe the next Q3 will be very close in shape to the Q4-etron, in the same way the Q8 and Q8 etron have some close resemblences.
or us middle aged ones that want something fun (= not boring looking like your average VW) and relatively performant and don't want to pay audi prices for it. Also, i needed something that fits my 2 adult sized kids in the back seats without problems, hence the Formentor VZ310 :)
Vag or VW is not own the cupra is independent company cupra formentor is first SUV or car of cupra so if you mean cupra takes platform engine yea but is not VW ok is cupra alone the tuned cupra own style design and not by VW ok and who does sheep's society blind don't know vw own Bugatti Lamb seat Skoda Man truck ok but not the cupra
@@unexplainedwearenotalone3537 Welcome visitor from another planet. SEAT Cupra S.A.U. (Sauron indeed, Thomas) is wholly owned by Volkswagen AG. Within VAG, it is part of the Volkswagen car brand group, and the CEO of SEAT Cupra, Wayne Griffiths, reports to Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars Brand. Cupra was the name and modification process SEAT used for its top sport models, in the same was VW employs R, and Audi employs RS. The decision to split Cupra into a unique model range was in 2018. It seems likely that Cupra will eventually replace the SEAT brand name completely. Enjoy your stay on planet earth.
I now drive a Tarraco and am thinking of buying a new car. But the Terramar let me down because of the size, especially for people sitting in the back. For taller people with two children, the car is too small.
60k Hyundai, 60k Kia, 60k Seat, 60k Mazda, What's next Jesus Christ? These companies are taking the P!$$ Anf why are car manufacturers putting ambient lights on the dashboard? That would be soo distracting at night 😮😂
You don’t need to say anything about the acceleration because the loudness of scream and laugh of your beautiful wife says how good is it and even how many seconds it takes 😅❤ you’re together fantastic 👍🏼
Hi Thomas, great test as always. I have a question to you about these seats dynamica, because some people comment that they are not comfortable and even hard. I have already ordered this car but on the test there were only leather seats available, which in my opinion were comfortable but I did not choose them for other reasons. Do you think I have to worry about these comments?
Interesting that Thomas is human and also sometimes reacts to road bullying. But I still have you as personal example of cool driver and do your best to keep your head and cool on the road. Safety first whenever you can!
5:25 Hey, well since u asked. :) I have zero intent to be negative about this topic but I will be honest. :) Imo "fake exaust tips" or exaust outlets that are hidden and pointed downwards to exaust into asphalt/road are better in multiple ways. :) Well, we know corporations do that for saving measures although it doesn't make our car cheaper but this way we have to worry less about maintenance in therms of cleaning, protection from water going in during car wash and on top of all exaust fume particles are being caught up on asphalt when exaust is directed toward it. Not 100% of them but vast amount by some studies published now probably around 10 years ago. Ofc I doubt corpos even care about it (they save on this aproach - earn more) but for us it is more beneficial. Thing is tyres catch some from asphalt but that's the case anyways etc. Majority stays on surface cause it has oil in a form with it and it reacts with particles. This isn't my profession not closely so I only tried explaining it simple ways. I think the point is clear. When it comes to esthetics, I guess it's individual. I personally would rather hear something practical concerning presented car than a comment regarding exaust tip as I can see it. What's the fucntional aspect that could replace it? Since it's cupra I'll give u an example I bare in mind since I checked new Formentor. Not all versions have multilink at the back. It would be beneficial to hear which ones have and which ones don't as it's far more important than exaust tips. Also if there's a separate package for bad roads in offer, or package for lower NVH value etc.
Surprised about the extent of effort the engineers put in the car, then finding the rear seats space is disappointing. Why! Are they going to make a bigger vehicle?
Rubber window sills doesn't mean anything quality wise. It's a choice the company made. Copper is the color of Cupra, and copper sills do not complement the style. And it's a carefree and durable choice which adds to the stealth look of Cupra vehicles.
Hi Thomas, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to let you know that I’ve recently purchased the Terramare 1.5 Etsi, and while I’m excited about the vehicle, I have a slight concern regarding the engine. Given the weight of the car, I’m a bit unsure if the 1.5 engine will provide enough power for a smooth and adequate driving experience. I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts on this-do you believe this engine is sufficient, or might it feel a little underpowered?
Have you ever thought of putting a warning sign on the back of the car during reviews? Something like: "We're recording a car review. Please don't mind random lane changes and rapid accelerations"
What the hell is this trend for ambient lighting all over the place when it's dark - and now on the top of the dash to reflect in the glass? Anyone remember the Saab button to disable all dashboard lighting other than the cluster so you could concentrate on actually driving safely at night?
24:09 I guess you were driving too slow and erratic in the middle lane. But this is how you'd drive when you are distracted by sluggish centre touch screens and talking at the same time .
Amazing car if the pricing is right is will sell more than the VW Tiguan. They good improve with luxury. Better chairs for longer drives maybe. Massage chairs etc. Besides this good car.
Followers of Autogefühl, I am looking for buying a new car. I could buy a second hand mint condition DS4 diesel, or new Corolla HB Hybrid or new Cupra Leon 1.5 etsi? Their prices are almost same. Which one would you suggest ?
take this styling and interior trim, grab vz5 engine and throw all together in a4 type of karavan for half of the price of audi s/rs line. done and done..
Better looking than the Tiguan...but...that big stuck on screen looks cheap. Integrate it into the dash...and bring back buttons, swivel wheel and knobs.
Thanks for excellent presentation as usual. Terramar is pretty much what I am looking for my car. Just thinking how it would retain its value. Škoda is much better in that respect.
Does terramar have a torque splitter on the rear axle in 4 drive models? does anyone know anything about it, I saw that formentor and leon got it after facelift
@@autogefuehlcompared to the formentor you tested, do you feel a big difference in relation to the torque splitter? I recently ordered a Terramar but more and more data is coming to me that tells me that this car is not worth the price, first of all the lower power and secondly it is now this torque splitter. probably in the future they will release a 333HP version with a splitter... then I will be pissed
You notice the torque splitter yes, but only in very sporty driving, the question is if you do that. The Terramar on the other hand is much more comfortable and silent in the drive
Q5 has completely different platform (MLB), while Tiguan is on MQB Evo platform. There is a huge difference in the AWD system, suspension, transmission and available engines in both platforms. Tiguan shares more tech with Q3 than with Q5. The only similarity with Q5 is the size, but the market segments are different.
They put the list price high and have more margin than Seat, but then again offer cheap leasing deals for the Formentor so you think you get a more expensive vehicle at a decent price
Can someone explain to me why Volkswagen makes the same (basically) car in four (or more?) versions? I'm referring to cupra, skoda, Volkswagen and Audi. Same tech, motor, battery etc just different looks and fabric choices.
you cover more of the market. Imagine going to the supermarket and you find 5 products, turns out 4 of those are from the same company. Chance you buying one of the 4 out of the 5 is higher.

then the other day i was testing a skoda superb with that "welcome light show" as I neared the car with the key and I felt... considered. by the car.
it welcomed me with a small lightshow.
i still think it's not necessary, but it's kind of cool
The Cupra brand is the most interesting in the VW group and the cars look really good imo.
Just a quick fact, Thomas: Terramar combines the words sea and land in Latin, hence a male seapony from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic season 8.
Good job! Nice to see Barcelona arround! 😉
🙌🙌
The car takes the name from a former racing circuit, the Terramar autodrome, but it is less sporting than the Formentor. Curious, but I like it.
Another good looking car from Cupra ❤
10:33
Woman's voice of reason: "Tissues!"
Thomas: stares blankly and wonders what is a "tissue" and why any man would ever need it?
I’m 45 but I find the lighting inside and outside amazing ! I love it
Never to old to like or love a bold design. 😉💪

VW claiming they need to cut costs, yet releases another car which they already 5 versions of. (Q3, Tiguan, Karoq, Kodiaq, Ateca)

Cheers! Wait a few more days and there might be something even more interesting for you here :-)
None. Go for a Mazda CX 60, Hyundai Kona (or Santa Fe if you want something bigger), Toyata Rav4 (or Hailander if you nedd something more spacious). Better cars, better realiability and better Price/Quality ratio.
@@autogefuehlinteresting! Im choosing between Q5 and Terramar, owner of 22” formentor. What is your mistery car? :)
With kids definitely Kodiaq.
The mark of Sauron 😮😂 Great video as always 😊
Ironically, as busy as the design is, it's still calmer than new Audi's coming out... which is the exact opposite of how it should be.
Looks clean and sporty; too much plastic though
I think it’s much better than everyone’s piano black interior. No shiny plastic stuff in here :)
@@GangXtaZz agreed I can’t stand the piano black trend
Thomas one request:
measure the height of the boot space as you did in the past, it is important.
Nowadays, cars have very shallow trunk, resulting in poor practicality and false numbers of cargo space.
Keep walking!
What i like is NO PIANO BS!
Great design.❤
Lovely car, currently driving a 2.0tsi Ateca. One thing I’m not sure is whether it is possible to have the non bulky seats. My wife isn’t that big and she may find these seats not nice to sit on. Other than that it does look like a nice car.
just these
Would like to see an ISA-off button instead of the ESP-off.
I went in-depth on that issue in this video as well !
Cant wait for Cupra to release full mid size SUV and luxury Fastback
Thanks for the upload! Thomas, will there be an Audi version of the 'best sedan' videos? :)
Cheers! Yes indeed I am already thinking about that :)
Meanwhile enjoy this: ruclips.net/video/ybtbZ01XA5I/видео.html
@@autogefuehl Awesome, and thank you very much, will give that a watch! I am in the market for a 2021 A5 S-line, admittedly a coupe but would still like to hear what you have to say about the saloon version vs other Audi options :)
Thomas, if you maybe know... People are saying that this product has a newer tech when compared with refreshed Formentor.
Do you maybe know what is missing in Formentor?
Great review as always. :)
Thanks :)
Thanks 🙏
DCC Pro 2 Valve and newer engine versions mainly and new infotainment
@@autogefuehl Thank you. :) Now when I finally know, I do not feel it should be a deal breaker if someone wants Formentor. :)
Thank you again for the detail.
What strikes me about the inside is just how alike it is to every other VW/Audi brand using this platform. As with Skoda, Cupra have done their best to make the UI/UX work with buttons and other style cues. What really lets both brands down, which is VW/Audi’s fault, is the awful iPad on the dashboard with the incompetent touch screen and terrible software. Having heard the pricing, it is not conceivably worth the money for such mediocrity.
What would you have instead of this? Something from Alfa, Mini, or Smart; maybe even a low end BMW 1 of some kind.
BMW X1 sometimes even has better offers now I heard
@@autogefuehl
Yes I think BMW are getting the market offers of both cars and price more than most in Europe. You might want to look again at what France and Italy are doing with Renault and Stellantis.
Despite being linked to the Audi Q3, I am seeing similarities in the shape to the Audi Q4-etron, maybe the next Q3 will be very close in shape to the Q4-etron, in the same way the Q8 and Q8 etron have some close resemblences.
How can anybody, male or female, straight or homo or whatever, dislike curly Thomas? You look great, man
thanks so much my friend :)
That badge reminds me of knitting needles!
I feel like VAG is trying to position Cupra as a brand for "those young people who are into sports cars but don't have a lot of money"
or us middle aged ones that want something fun (= not boring looking like your average VW) and relatively performant and don't want to pay audi prices for it. Also, i needed something that fits my 2 adult sized kids in the back seats without problems, hence the Formentor VZ310 :)
Have you seen what these cars cost 🤣
Vag or VW is not own the cupra is independent company cupra formentor is first SUV or car of cupra so if you mean cupra takes platform engine yea but is not VW ok is cupra alone the tuned cupra own style design and not by VW ok and who does sheep's society blind don't know vw own Bugatti Lamb seat Skoda Man truck ok but not the cupra
@@unexplainedwearenotalone3537 Welcome visitor from another planet.
SEAT Cupra S.A.U. (Sauron indeed, Thomas) is wholly owned by Volkswagen AG. Within VAG, it is part of the Volkswagen car brand group, and the CEO of SEAT Cupra, Wayne Griffiths, reports to Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars Brand.
Cupra was the name and modification process SEAT used for its top sport models, in the same was VW employs R, and Audi employs RS. The decision to split Cupra into a unique model range was in 2018. It seems likely that Cupra will eventually replace the SEAT brand name completely.
Enjoy your stay on planet earth.
That would be true if it wasn't for the cost. 😅
I now drive a Tarraco and am thinking of buying a new car. But the Terramar let me down because of the size, especially for people sitting in the back. For taller people with two children, the car is too small.
Soon more news on the channel what might be suitable for you - stay tuned a few more days!
60k Hyundai, 60k Kia, 60k Seat, 60k Mazda, What's next Jesus Christ? These companies are taking the P!$$
Anf why are car manufacturers putting ambient lights on the dashboard? That would be soo distracting at night 😮😂
You don’t need to say anything about the acceleration because the loudness of scream and laugh of your beautiful wife says how good is it and even how many seconds it takes 😅❤ you’re together fantastic 👍🏼
=) Thanks my friend!
It's interesting that this cupra aggressive styling is so much liked by women's.
Bu güzel inceleme için elinize sağlık. It's a good review.
Thanks - tessekur!
Hi Thomas, great test as always. I have a question to you about these seats dynamica, because some people comment that they are not comfortable and even hard. I have already ordered this car but on the test there were only leather seats available, which in my opinion were comfortable but I did not choose them for other reasons. Do you think I have to worry about these comments?
Thanks 🙏
Dinamica is more comfortable than the animal skin leather
@ Thank you for quick reply👌❤️
Interesting that Thomas is human and also sometimes reacts to road bullying. But I still have you as personal example of cool driver and do your best to keep your head and cool on the road. Safety first whenever you can!
thanks so much my friend !
i prefer curly thomas
🤣
What's your opinion about the Sennheiser speaker system in this Terramar?
Thomas is it as noisy in the cabin as it sounds
I did comment on that!
5:25 Hey, well since u asked. :) I have zero intent to be negative about this topic but I will be honest. :) Imo "fake exaust tips" or exaust outlets that are hidden and pointed downwards to exaust into asphalt/road are better in multiple ways. :) Well, we know corporations do that for saving measures although it doesn't make our car cheaper but this way we have to worry less about maintenance in therms of cleaning, protection from water going in during car wash and on top of all exaust fume particles are being caught up on asphalt when exaust is directed toward it. Not 100% of them but vast amount by some studies published now probably around 10 years ago. Ofc I doubt corpos even care about it (they save on this aproach - earn more) but for us it is more beneficial. Thing is tyres catch some from asphalt but that's the case anyways etc. Majority stays on surface cause it has oil in a form with it and it reacts with particles. This isn't my profession not closely so I only tried explaining it simple ways. I think the point is clear. When it comes to esthetics, I guess it's individual.
I personally would rather hear something practical concerning presented car than a comment regarding exaust tip as I can see it. What's the fucntional aspect that could replace it? Since it's cupra I'll give u an example I bare in mind since I checked new Formentor. Not all versions have multilink at the back. It would be beneficial to hear which ones have and which ones don't as it's far more important than exaust tips. Also if there's a separate package for bad roads in offer, or package for lower NVH value etc.
Hmm good question, their main point of fake exhaust is pure design, thats it. So from a manufacturers view, it has always about the visual part.
Surprised about the extent of effort the engineers put in the car, then finding the rear seats space is disappointing. Why!
Are they going to make a bigger vehicle?
I wonder why they didn't put in the 333hp engine from the Formentor.
Rubber window sills doesn't mean anything quality wise. It's a choice the company made. Copper is the color of Cupra, and copper sills do not complement the style. And it's a carefree and durable choice which adds to the stealth look of Cupra vehicles.
The rear looks like a sporty Vinfast, or the Vinfast looks like a Cupra? 🤔
Hi, Thomas I was surprised by the American people who made the new Cupra Terramar VZ 2025!
hey! Sorry what you mean m8?
@@autogefuehl ok
Hi Thomas,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to let you know that I’ve recently purchased the Terramare 1.5 Etsi, and while I’m excited about the vehicle, I have a slight concern regarding the engine.
Given the weight of the car, I’m a bit unsure if the 1.5 engine will provide enough power for a smooth and adequate driving experience. I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts on this-do you believe this engine is sufficient, or might it feel a little underpowered?
Hey! It depends on what u drive. German Autobahn can be underpowered yes, if u rather drive city and low speed limits it’s fine
Have you ever thought of putting a warning sign on the back of the car during reviews? Something like:
"We're recording a car review. Please don't mind random lane changes and rapid accelerations"
That is normal driving behaviour in many of the countries in which Thomas conducts his test drives!!
I guess that would also attract police ;-)
What the hell is this trend for ambient lighting all over the place when it's dark - and now on the top of the dash to reflect in the glass? Anyone remember the Saab button to disable all dashboard lighting other than the cluster so you could concentrate on actually driving safely at night?
From all the reviews from Thomas, i would gladly buy (not lease) the new lexus NX...
Hello Thomas! Highly apreciate yout videos! How is it in comparison with Tiguan in terma of confort, noise insulation and ride quality? Thanks!
cheers ! Did you watch this video full length?
24:09 I guess you were driving too slow and erratic in the middle lane. But this is how you'd drive when you are distracted by sluggish centre touch screens and talking at the same time .
VW Group is the GM of Europe
Amazing car if the pricing is right is will sell more than the VW Tiguan. They good improve with luxury. Better chairs for longer drives maybe. Massage chairs etc. Besides this good car.
I hope Cupra will release the Tarraco successor soon. Terramar is too small, I need a good looking 7-seater.
more news on our channel very soon - stay tuned!
@@autogefuehl Well well well, is that Cupra didn't say the last word about their lineup yet and you know something more? :>
Not specifically Cupra, but you ll see soon :)
@@autogefuehl I hope it is good looking, not like Kodiaq 2 :P
Tayron!
Followers of Autogefühl, I am looking for buying a new car. I could buy a second hand mint condition DS4 diesel, or new Corolla HB Hybrid or new Cupra Leon 1.5 etsi? Their prices are almost same. Which one would you suggest ?
Best driving fun: Leon. Best for reliability to buy and keep: Corolla
Haha 😂 Like the title "Souron's Tiguan". Evil looking SUV indeed.
I prefer door pockets made of plastic and not covered in fabric, if they get dirty, they are easier to clean, they are more hygienic that way
Is Seat alive? Haven't heard about this brand for a while
still alive but no new products
Is there going to be 333hp version like the Formentor/Akrapovic exhaust?
I dont think so
No felt lining in the door pockets is such a stupid thing to save money on considering how premium the rest of the interior is!
Nice car ! Very Nice ! Except the hood and the door handle s
take this styling and interior trim, grab vz5 engine and throw all together in a4 type of karavan for half of the price of audi s/rs line. done and done..
17:06 a fellow Tolkienian, I see. :)
Gondor was calling for help so I had to answer
Better looking than the Tiguan...but...that big stuck on screen looks cheap. Integrate it into the dash...and bring back buttons, swivel wheel and knobs.
Is the PHEV VZ version AWD or only FWD?
PHEV FWD only
@@autogefuehl very bad, thanks!
@@glebpalchin6809 this is valid for almost all the vehicle in this category, starting with Q5/X3/GLC you have PHEV AWD :)
@@MrRobi10 , yes, but I don't like those, none of them
Seems like the only option is a DS7 Etense 4x4
@@glebpalchin6809 ds7 it's not am option, at least for me :) it's big indeed, really expensive, but it's just a fancy citroen, nothing more..

What’s going on with European cars? My Honda civic got more space in the back seat compared to this SUV.
I will never own a Seat again after owning one currently for 5 years, it's crap altogether.
tell us about the experience!
Thanks for excellent presentation as usual. Terramar is pretty much what I am looking for my car. Just thinking how it would retain its value. Škoda is much better in that respect.
cheers!
I want this car as an EV :)
Does terramar have a torque splitter on the rear axle in 4 drive models? does anyone know anything about it, I saw that formentor and leon got it after facelift
nope they dont have it in the Terramar
@@autogefuehlcompared to the formentor you tested, do you feel a big difference in relation to the torque splitter?
I recently ordered a Terramar but more and more data is coming to me that tells me that this car is not worth the price, first of all the lower power and secondly it is now this torque splitter. probably in the future they will release a 333HP version with a splitter... then I will be pissed
You notice the torque splitter yes, but only in very sporty driving, the question is if you do that. The Terramar on the other hand is much more comfortable and silent in the drive
Isn't the Tiguan the corresponded for Q5?
Sizewise yes, but techwise Q5 is not MQB platform.
Q3
The Tiguan is for sure more comparable to the Q5. It’s a direct alternative from the same group
Q5 has completely different platform (MLB), while Tiguan is on MQB Evo platform. There is a huge difference in the AWD system, suspension, transmission and available engines in both platforms. Tiguan shares more tech with Q3 than with Q5. The only similarity with Q5 is the size, but the market segments are different.
It is a good looking vehicle.
Very beatiful car one of the best options.
The big question is, who will buy these guite expensive Seat cars? Hard to see the possibilities of success🤔
The Germans have embraced Cupra and the Formentor sold very well in Europe.
They put the list price high and have more margin than Seat, but then again offer cheap leasing deals for the Formentor so you think you get a more expensive vehicle at a decent price
Shame Tiguan doest offer those brakes even in R model...
a teenage crossover.
Dang thomas youve grown 3 cm from 186 😂
The cupra is so cool
Interesting designing tho
Can someone explain to me why Volkswagen makes the same (basically) car in four (or more?) versions? I'm referring to cupra, skoda, Volkswagen and Audi. Same tech, motor, battery etc just different looks and fabric choices.
you cover more of the market. Imagine going to the supermarket and you find 5 products, turns out 4 of those are from the same company. Chance you buying one of the 4 out of the 5 is higher.
Hey Thomas but inside outside formentor vz much better space and sport aggressive stability flat smooth i love more formentor vz top of cupra
