Here at CarSauce, we review every new car on the market. We are a community of sauce givers and we'd love for you to subscribe and join our community!

We give every car "the sauce", test their 0-100km/h, and see whether or not they are worth purchasing and spending your hard-earned cash on.

From time to time, we'll also buy a weird and wacky car and take you on the journey with me! We release videos every Sunday 5pm AEST / AEDT with the latest new car reviews!

Your feedback is important, so if you want to see us do something new or something you would like me to change let me know! Got a question for me? Leave it in the comments! I try and respond to them all!

Really wanted the Formentor 2025 face lift.. but this will be a 2nd choice.

[Mdelgado]

I own a pre-facelift Formentor. I wasn’t a huge fan of the facelift on the Formentor, found it a downgrade on the first gen. But on this larger scale, the new generation Cupra look works really nicely. The VZ trims with the sporty Golf R powertrain are going to be phenomenal. Can’t wait till they start to pop up in the UK!

How does it compare to the new Hyundai Tucson ?

I find it interesting that it's not getting the Ateca or Formentor's engine tune option for the flagship performance model but instead detuned to Golf GTI levels. Honestly if anything I would have preferred the full 235kw tune this time rather than the 221 that I have (Ateca) and 228 in the Formentor, but there's no way I am downgrading on power in any way, so I'll be patient and see. The problem with the Ateca is the interior, it's so dated for the money, but I am just so comfy in it and love the way it drives so I am just being silly now, as it's been a wonderful car for me and my bad back, but I do think if they put the Tiguan/Golf R full fledged engine (whatever the 2025 specs for that are, if more than 235/400, then more please), I'd not be able to control myself as they finally really nailed the interior and this has to be one of the sexiest SUV I have ever seen.

I had the seat cupra estate 300 bhp 4 drive just before the rebadge it was a great car one of my favourite to drive. The only issue I have with Cupra once seat ! Is the premium pricing with too much hard and scratchy plastics. It just feels a little cheap compared to the golf R and GTI sisters. I know this car does not rival the mentioned but they all feel too cheap for the price inside, they need to up the game for premium prices. Good cars but not premium yet !

Heres a tip for you, Shine your phone torch to the rear view mirror for a surprise 😉 Want to know more just ask 😂

How does it compare to the Cupra Ateca

[netsiteing]

if it’s anything like the Skoda Kodiaq, the resale value will drop dramatically

Vag need to put bigger engines in these big suvs...they just keep using the golf engine in everything. Why not use the rs3 engine or the 3 ltr tdi engine out the sq5.

6.22s? Cupra said it will be 5.9s. Will you also test the same way the PHEV VZ version?

[teegask]

Love this car but fake exhausts are a big fail.

[meteora]

Australian pricing means it will not be cheaper than a Tiguan

[Aldonuus]

This car seems to be ticking all the boxes. I can't find any major fault in it.

[DuDe]

My Skoda still had Audi stamps in the engine casing, albeit from the previous generation Audi equivalent. Same with stickers put over the top of the plastics. Pity my VW didn't. It seemed lower quality than my Skoda

[nathansmith]

Whoa...slow down young man! Something in the water over there?

[gkntsmz]

Not interested in ev, this is nice but issue, small player in oz.

The 150ps with DSG in any VW, Skoda, Cupra, Seat, is the worst combination ever, lethargic, slow to pull away, changes to the next gear before any power develops unless you mash the throttle, you need to drive it sport mode to get anywhere. Maybe they fixed this with the hybrid system.
