Question 1

Which new Cupra models have petrol engines?

Accepted Answer

The Leon, the Formentor and the Terramar. The Born, Tavascan and Raval are electric, and the plug-in e-Hybrid versions of the Leon, Formentor and Terramar sit with the hybrids.

Question 2

Can you still buy a new petrol Cupra with a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on some 1.5 TSI versions, such as the 150PS Formentor 1.5 TSI. The eTSI mild hybrid and the more powerful versions come only with the DSG dual-clutch automatic.

Question 3

What is the most powerful new petrol Cupra?

Accepted Answer

The Formentor VZ5, with a 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo petrol of 390PS, 4Drive all-wheel drive and a DSG gearbox. Below it, the Formentor VZ has a 333PS 2.0 TSI, also with 4Drive.

Question 4

How much is road tax on a new petrol Cupra?

Accepted Answer

The first year is set by the car's CO₂ emissions and is part of the on-the-road price. From the second year it pays £200 a year, plus a £440 supplement in years 2 to 6 when the list price was over £40,000.

Question 5

Should I buy a new or a used petrol Cupra?

Accepted Answer

A new one brings the full factory warranty and the latest engines, including the eTSI mild hybrid. A used one costs less, because a new car loses much of its value in its first years.
