Glad to see that Julian acknowledges that this car is not for everyone despite all its abilities considering its price tag and how it might be a real dog to sell when you want to dispose of it. Unfortunately, the prices of cars here forces us to make more pragmatic choices versus what we might want to really own.

13:03 julian seems to enjoy the ride comfort of the cupra while sleeping :)

Great review! And what a car🔥

love this intro sequence

Agent price now @ $206k with 59.5k COE. Cat B. 4 cylinder turbo model, With many added free add ons by dealer.

Julian, so true to say that Seat’s marketing is not up there to say the least. These people sells amazing cars that could overlap into VW, Skoda or even some of Audi’s market but they just seem so muted! Don’t be surprised that with so many similar selection of VAG cars in the SG market, I could guess that Seat (or Vertex for the matter) might be put in an awkward position to tone it down a little while the big brothers steal the limelight.

Julian, wait till you drive the type r. I know you will love it!

That red Boxster in the car park looks like its rear bumper is scraping the curb lol. I can’t stop looking.

Formentor looks really good. Pls review that!

Lol, just review the cupra formentor alr. Fully specced out that one:)

Here I'm wondering when you guys will release the new line of cupra/seat cars.. Thanks sgcm! Hope you guys will do review for the normal seat Leon and arona

Cupra hits different mannn sheesh

I would add the Leon logo looks like a Decepticons badge , aka transformers. 😁

Been currently looking at leasing the 245bhp version of this car which is fair bit less expensive. Not sure on the conversion between your currency and GBP but it's around £300 a month to lease.

Please do a review of the formentor soon! On a side note, it's weird how the cupra leon sportstourer, ateca and formentor all have similar performance figures but the leon is almost a full sec slower for its century sprint. Perhaps the sales have been slow because its not as bang for buck as the rest of the line up

VW Group politics perhaps. There are multiple videos on KZread showing that it does the century sprint below 5.7 secs. Closer to the 5.0 mark. Perhaps the same reason why the awd variant isn't available for the hatchback. If so, not many would opt for the golf r except for brand loyalty reasons when the cupra costs lesser.

Its the fwd system of course, put them on a roll, and none will touch the top end of the leon!

can review the cupra formentor?

Can we really get excited about another new vw group product, when underneath its all the same.

So, how does this stack up to the mk8 GTI? Considering that they're largely similar...doesn't quite make sense that it's priced so closely to the GTI

@pitotsg2812

The cupra is above the normal mk8 gti. It's direct equivalent would be the gti clubsport, which isn't available locally. More like a fwd version of the new golf r.

You could have shown or let us listen to the engine or exhaust rev.

The next few years will be a great time to have great cars, I fear after 10 years with more electric cars these hot hatches/cars will vanish because it will be much harder to make good designs due the battery.

What Is the exact name of this colour???

Is the Cupra only available in the Asian market?

Hey Rayne, Cupra is a Spanish brand under the Volkswagen group so not just in Asian markets! - Jay

What VW group needs ( VW , SKODA or SEAT ) is a proper 2 dr coupe to go against the Toyota 86 or Subaru BRZ !!! Dont need another hatchback😜

Cos $200k but no brand recognition and image. Some people dunno how to even pronounce Seat. Imagine u tell your friends or relatives then they say what Sit? Lol! Their old Leon better. The new logo looks cartoonish. I prefer the S logo

£200k ! That’s house prices in Europe ?!!

great review ! and why a car .... lol

Can buy. Cupra will overtake gti. It’s just more stylish, unique and better looking driving it.

220.000 $ ??

Looks like a golf

The Leon offers a much better interior than the Golf 8. However, the drive and handling loses out.

Sorry - is this 200,000 singapore dollars? That's £108,000...whereas in the UK, this costs £37,000 or 68,000 Singapore dollars

Hi ryanjones55, yes it's around S$200,000. That's because we've got quite a punishing tax structure here to discourage car ownership. Cars are usually 3 - 4 times the retail price compared to other countries. - Jon
