Very good and thorough presentation as usual.
Compared to my 1st gen VZ:
pros:
-more engine power (23 hp) and torque (20 nm)
-bigger infotainment screen and new sound system (hopefully better than the Beats in mine)
-padded center console and copper details around the shifter
-back light bar with the Cupra logo
- torque vectoring (although not sure how this benefits the dynamics other than for drifting)
cons:
- front mask/grille, not as aggressive, seems to belong to suit better an electric version/Born
- front lights more mainstream
- lighted touch sliders for volume and aircon (I love the all blacked out sliders on mine, too much lighting is annoying to the eye,
although many criticized them and evidently Cupra/VAG have listened)

Still a great car after 2 years and more than 50k km, without a single issue, except of course of the common periodically
infotainment/security system glitches that are so far quickly self sorted out.

Great video! I always took Leah’s filming for granted but the close ups of the small details I have underappreciated, we’ll done Leah also!

[Clansman]

Thank you Thomas and you just drove my next car and want the 333Hp version. Hope to find a good leasing deal

[hello]

As the owner of 23' model, my opinion is that they should take a look of
that model and just modernize it.Think this car lost its sharpness in the front and looks blended like any other suv on the road.

[denizozbay]

The predecessor had a better looking front imo

[berks.]

In terms of tyre droning noise, did you notice an upgrade at all? Hopefully Cupra applied some insulation to the fl version.

[lukabosnjak]

I would say 11 speakers and a subwoofer, in home cinema these are separated, for example you have configurations like 5.1 where 5 is the number of speakers and 1 is the number of subwoofers.
I'm actually really curious about this Sennheiser system, most of these branded speakers are junk from my experience but this one could be decent...

[magnusmacdonald]

Are you going to test the PHEV of that car soon? It´s high on my list for a new car within a year.

[googleuser]

Rented the 4cly in April on a visit to Brussels. I was impressed. A more interesting VW.

[MrAndrei]

Great review, thanks! I will keep saying that you have the most eye for the details. I could almost feel you touching the paint and the inside trim :-)

[masterrazvan]

Hi, Thomas I have to admit these people from America did a good job the new Cupra Formentor facelift and 333 hp Formentor VZ!

[Drm]

Why enceladus grey matt color looks so greenish? But I love it.
I heard that it is not easy to maintain this paint.

[BrianStyne]

I love this new version, so modern and aggressive

[Darren_Nicola]

Awesome thanks both, I think it looks fabulous in that colour, we have the 310 and would be tempted for the vz 333, I actually prefer the front on the new one 👍🏻👍🏻

[ChRnos_]

There is gonna be VZ5 version also. There are videos of 5 cyl facelift testing on the Nürburgring. You can distinctly hear 5 cylinder when it accerelates and has Lexus ISF-esque looking exhaust like on the pre-facelift VZ5

[icyhybrid]

The subwoofer is a speaker as well. Just not a full range speaker (not playing the full range of frequencies).

[yadevable]

How does it compare to the Audi S3 2024 facelifted 333hp in terms of handling, acceleration, interior quality, etc?

[tank]

Does that mean Leon facelift review is near? Cant wait.

[tedmosby]

What about the noise in the car? On the highway, or in the city? Is it good isolated? Better than the previous one? Thx :)
