Very nice car with upgraded quality from the previous one. I saw the car at an exhibition up close inside and out, very impressive with quality materials, especially in the VZ special edition it reminds me a lot of Audi.
I've driven an older Formentor and quite enjoyed it (Altough it is annoying that you cannot permanently turn off start/stop automatic and lane keeping assistant and have to turn it off everytime you start your car), would love to test this one! Nice video! I also don't mind the facelift, it looks good!
01:09 the three individual daytime running lights (facelift), a touch of Porsche daytime running lights. Otherwise, I find the prefacelift headlights more elegant, an open triangle is formed and it tapers straight inwards. Great.
As mid size crossover's go the pre-facelift Formentor was already best looking in class , this face-lift is very striking , the lights are great. Being the VZ it's fast to.....I think I like it. Well done Cupra......PS: Martin's driving on this mountain road is Ballsy I must say.
They made the lower grill bigger but covered it with huge bits of plastic... What was the point if the proportions of the earlier one looked much better? The only thing that looks better is them ditching the round fog lights as those are pretty ugly on the pre facelift.
The Drift Mode is pretty cool if you know how and where to use it. I was curious about it in a Golf R Performance but with an specialist from Cupra we got it to work and it was phenomenal!
They must have a good reason, like a contract ending with the factory that has been making those for 20 cents But anyway, I do not see any point of this, it does not save any weight and it just blocks space for mechanics
You said they won't be VZ5 facelift. But I saw video of facelift Formentor with 5 cylinder and Lexus ISF style exhaust setup testing on the Nurbugring. And it sounds like a 5 cylinder
Roumor has it that Cupra couldn’t sell the 7000 pieces of the 5 cylinder. Could be possible that they make a facelift version of it, what I, as a VZ5 owner, would highly dislike cause the VZ5 is a quite rare and therefore special car.
11:24 you constantly crossing the solid center line costing everyones lives on the road. Best to try without crossing center line, the car can handle that.
I had a Chiped VZ with 370 Horsepower and changed it for the VZ5 Taiga Grey it only has 20 Horsepower more but it feels like 1 Second Faster to 100 it is like Day and night Also thanka to the torque splitter.
I own pre lift Leon ST310 and i'm really starting to question myself if i should change it for lift. Current one design suits me better, and this light up badge in lift really makes me wanna womit but man... Extra 20HP, better diff on rear axle and a lot of changes to QOL things like light up controls for volume, new infotainment or better sound system are speaking to me :)
Also don't but Formentor xD Buy Leon :) These cars in terms of quality and mechanics are same, but Leon have more space inside and sits lower to the ground what makes it better at feeling the car while on curved roads :) Also The price is drastically different XDD
Ist das Facelift Modell überhaupt schon auf öffentlichen Straßen anzufinden? Ich achte persönlich viel auf Cupra Modelle, einen neuen Leon oder Formentor VZ habe ich bislang nirgendwo gesehen
The only good part about this compared to the pre facelift is the illuminated rear badge, illuminated climate control, and maybe the speakers, and the infotainment. It's good they kept the steering wheel buttons. Front looks worse, wheels look worse, lights look worse. Visually, it was perfect before. I was thinking of upgrading once my term is up, but the looks alone is a turn off for me.
Pre Facelift has the Better looking Headlights. While the Pre Facelift has the better overall Looking Front. What i dont like about these New VAG Cars, is the Disgusting Boring Rear Light Bar that looks so Boring and Overdramatic than it actually is. Car would look so much better without it trust me. Do it by your own. Take a Picture of the Rear and Put it on Paint. Paint over the Light Bar and you have an Aggressive Rear look.

@@dannyturner5341 I've still not even got one, had the car since September 22, it's due for service on the 24th of this month and apparently they are fitting it then
I own the 24' cliff grey (green) formentor (pre-lift) which has matte black rims and matte black everything else with the Akrapovic exhaust from factory. By far the meanest vz spec and beats this shark nose. Inside has Alcantara as part of the special tribe editon run with a sunroof. Once the warranty is done ill chiptune it to 370bhp. Way nicer in my opinion...
I'm a stone believer of the emblem going on the grill, not the hood. Anyway, lose the POV/perspective view. Its disorienting, and becomes quite annoying after just a few minutes. That's why nobody uses it anymore. I had to stop the video before halfway because it was giving me vertigo.
Too bad everything is automatic these days, they used to tease us about that (Europe poked at America), now it's the same everywhere. If it aint a stick, I aint interested. 2024 Shelby Super Snake any1?^^ \O>
I am just watching this video and thinking. This is beautiful location and life is short so why trying to make it shorter rather than enjoying magnificent place? Why so fast? Why in a wannabe-fastest-plastic-toy? What is the purpose of this car? Neither it's a true sport car nor utility vehicle. Fake car and fake, unreal emotions. I would rather go to racetrack and get the real feeling and on a road like that just jump behind cabrio's wheel, play Queen and feel the wind enjoying every minute of my life.

Not so pretty like the pre facelift
Absolutely agree. The previous one looks much, much better
They made the lower grill bigger but covered it with huge bits of plastic... What was the point if the proportions of the earlier one looked much better? The only thing that looks better is them ditching the round fog lights as those are pretty ugly on the pre facelift.
I like it more than the old. Looks fresher
For other more pretty
not because i have the "old" model with 23hp less but yea, the old looks way sexier. This 23hp doesnt matter for me sorry ;P
Have the 22, and it's awesome, it's the hybrid, 245hp, and like the front more than the newest version, to be honest. I don't switch for now!
The only SUV I like and could buy, other than the discontinued VZ5.
The Drift Mode is pretty cool if you know how and where to use it. I was curious about it in a Golf R Performance but with an specialist from Cupra we got it to work and it was phenomenal!
A new strut costs 12$ for my mk5. They probably saved 2$ per car.
They must have a good reason, like a contract ending with the factory that has been making those for 20 cents

Drift mode should be fun in winter time, on snow it must be even better than previuos Formentor.
Waiting for the face lift review of CUPRA Leon Sportstourer 2.0 TSI 4x4 333 HK DSG
The pre facelift definitely looks better in my opinion
I dont care avout the facelift i just want a 5 pot
So go buy one tf?

VZ5 ore this VZ2024 my friends? Which one is better?
Where do you get these from? Can't say I've seen a single on on the road.
that's press car
Confused between the fermentor and their other model terramar. What are the differences! And why! Are they better than Kodiak RS !
The best of the new face-lift, it's the horse power. I like the previous one.
The hp is up from the previous one.
This is a message for me with three thirty three. ;)
Probably should take it, and double the HP when it's time for the other side.. 😂😂😂
what is the name of the color of the car?
hello, please do a full review of laferrari i really love that car wish i could buy it.
I Ve ordered the new VZ 333hp in June , Matt black with glossy black wheels, they still don't know when will be ready , they suppose in November 🤷🏼♂️
why not that greenblue matt, or bronze ?
mine arrived yesterday! they told me it was the first one in the UK - it's the best car I've ever owned! I'm sure yours will be coming soon :)

It’s a shame that the new facelift doesn’t look as aggressive as the first design, for me this one looks terrible the front end.

It kinda looks like a new Ford fiesta
