Could a completely unknown brand from the other side of the planet \u2013 one that\u2019s from a company that already has many of its marques active in market \u2013 succeed in Australia?<\/p><p>Well, having driven three of CUPRA\u2019s launch models earlier this year, I\u2019m confident saying that CUPRA has a very bright future ahead of it in Australia.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-2-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-367334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-2-920x614.jpg 920w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-2-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-2-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-2-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 400px, (max-width: 640px) 600px, (max-width: 768px) 700px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, (min-width: 1025px) 1000px, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Being inside a CUPRA is much like being inside an Audi\u2026 Just a little less austere.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>If you haven\u2019t heard of CUPRA, we don\u2019t blame you \u2013 the brand is only four years old. Well, only technically. CUPRA is the performance division of Spanish carmaker SEAT, one of Europe\u2019s most successful car brands \u2013 making it akin to BMW\u2019s M division or Mercedes\u2019 AMG. SEAT cars were briefly sold in Australia through Volkswagen dealerships between 1995 and 1999, but never had a standalone dealer network or significant market presence.<\/p><p>In 2018 CUPRA was turned into a standalone marque, and given a huge amount of operational freedom by Volkswagen. That\u2019s why just CUPRA, and not both SEAT and CUPRA, is launching in Australia. CUPRA sees itself as an unconventional challenger brand; leveraging the fact it\u2019s not constrained by history to offer something very different to the Audis and \u0160kodas Aussies love so much.<\/p><p>That said, the VW Group influence is obvious when you drive one of these cars \u2013 which is by no means a bad thing. <meta charset=\"utf-8\">CUPRA sits somewhere between Volkswagen and Audi in terms of luxury, features, performance and refinement, something which is reflected in its pricing (which is actually exceptionally sharp).<\/p>                <div class=\"row row-center collapse\">\n                    <div class=\"column\">\n                        <div class=\"dmg-ad\"><div id=\"incontent-332402895\" class=\"ad-container\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var load_1231492189 = function () {googletag.cmd.push(function () {var slot_1231492189 = googletag.defineSlot(\"\/1017963\/DMarge\/incontent\",[[250,250],[300,100],[300,250],[320,100],[336,280]],\"incontent-332402895\").addService(googletag.pubads()).setTargeting('refresh', 'true');if (gamData && gamData.sizeMap && gamData.sizeMap.hasOwnProperty('incontent')) {slot_1231492189.defineSizeMapping(gamData.sizeMap['incontent']);}googletag.display(\"incontent-332402895\");});};adsQueue.push(load_1231492189);<\/script><\/div><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <p>CUPRA\u2019s angular, youthful aesthetic also has much in common with another VW Group stablemate, Lamborghini\u2026 Again, we\u2019re not complaining. The value proposition of CUPRA is exceptionally strong, which is perhaps the brand\u2019s biggest weapon. The fact that they are part of the VW Group is also reassuring for consumers, as thanks to parts sharing and so on, they\u2019re not a completely unknown quantity.<\/p><p>Its other big differentiating factor is its focus on electrification. All three of the models they\u2019ve launched in Australia with \u2013 Ateca, Formentor and <meta charset=\"utf-8\">Le\u00f3n \u2013 can be had as a plug-in hybrid. Moreover, their fourth launch model, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cupraofficial.com.au\/cars\/cupra-range\/born\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CUPRA Born<\/a>, which will be joining the lineup next year, is a full battery electric vehicle and will be the first small VW Group EV to arrive in market.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-4-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-367338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-4-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-4-920x614.jpg 920w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-4-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-4-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-4-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-4-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 400px, (max-width: 640px) 600px, (max-width: 768px) 700px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, (min-width: 1025px) 1000px, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The CUPRA Formentor is a properly sporty coupe SUV that\u2019s unlike any other car on the market.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>This isn\u2019t by accident. CUPRA\u2019s focus on e-mobility is important as a branding and positioning exercise, sure, but it also reflects the forward-thinking nature of the brand. It\u2019s not just another Volkswagen, it\u2019s something different.<\/p><p>But how do they drive? Let\u2019s kick things off with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cupraofficial.com.au\/cars\/cupra-range\/formentor\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CUPRA Formentor<\/a>, the brand\u2019s flagship model and easily their most unique vehicle. This lithe coup\u00e9 SUV is the first car designed specifically for the marque \u2013 meaning there\u2019s no SEAT equivalent.<\/p><p>While the Formentor does share VW\u2019s MQB Evo platform with cars like the Audi A3, SEAT\/CUPRA Le\u00f3n, \u0160koda Octavia and Volkswagen Golf, its slightly higher ride height, larger size and more aerodynamic form factor make it feel very different from its stablemates.<\/p>                <div class=\"row row-center collapse\">\n                    <div class=\"column\">\n                        <div class=\"dmg-ad\"><div id=\"incontent-1926085499\" class=\"ad-container\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var load_771662761 = function () {googletag.cmd.push(function () {var slot_771662761 = googletag.defineSlot(\"\/1017963\/DMarge\/incontent\",[[250,250],[300,100],[300,250],[320,100],[336,280]],\"incontent-1926085499\").addService(googletag.pubads()).setTargeting('refresh', 'true');if (gamData && gamData.sizeMap && gamData.sizeMap.hasOwnProperty('incontent')) {slot_771662761.defineSizeMapping(gamData.sizeMap['incontent']);}googletag.display(\"incontent-1926085499\");});};adsQueue.push(load_771662761);<\/script><\/div><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <p>I\u2019ve always hated the whole idea of c<meta charset=\"utf-8\">oup\u00e9 SUVs (or four-door coupes, or four-door shooting brakes\u2026) but the Formentor is the first car that really nails that characterisation, in my opinion. Despite riding higher than a hatchback it actually feels low and swoopy like a proper coupe, something which is only reinforced by its planted, dynamic handling.<\/p><p>It\u2019s actually a masterclass in packaging, as it feels like a much smaller car than it is. At the same time, it\u2019s more comfortable for passengers than a normal hatchback while feeling musclier than a hatchback or crossover. No other vehicle on the market really feels like a Formentor, which is exactly what you want from a new car and brand.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-5-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-367339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-5-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-5-920x614.jpg 920w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-5-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-5-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-5-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/cupra-launch-5-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 400px, (max-width: 640px) 600px, (max-width: 768px) 700px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, (min-width: 1025px) 1000px, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The CUPRA <meta charset=\"utf-8\">Le\u00f3n is an old-school hot hatch with new-school looks.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>That said, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cupraofficial.com.au\/cars\/cupra-range\/leon\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CUPRA <meta charset=\"utf-8\">Le\u00f3n<\/a> \u2013 which as mentioned above, shares a platform with the Formentor as well as other hatchbacks from the VW Group \u2013 is by no means a \u2018same-y\u2019 drive.
