Model Year 26/27 Formentor VZ5 at Group 1 Hatfield Cupra

[stones85]

So I was at Hatfield Cupra on Saturday looking at a pre-reg Cupra Leon V2 DSG in Taiga Grey (which I ended up buying! )

While I was there, they had a Formentor VZ5 in the showroom and, well... wow!

What an absolutely stunning vehicle. It would have been rude not to take a few photos and share them with you all, so here they are! Enjoy!

Looks nice but its amazing that they bring out a flagship car for 65k and put Hankook's on it.........

Think that's bad?

I do think its bad..... M cars come with PS4's or Cup2 depending , New Edition 50 Golf has Bridgestone Potenza Race semi-slick tyres , my Partner at work ordered a new Xpang Peformance and that has PS4S Ev tryes on.....i know these companies have to save money but to stick the same tyres on as a regular 330 vz1 is a bit stingy when its the flagship and standard bearer for the company but thats life ....

Just wanted to add that I still think its a fantastic bit of kit and the new owners are going to be very lucky and can always change the tyres themselves but they shouldn't have to........

Very cool, we'll have one at our meet and you'll be able to hear it. Of course I'm going to give it a plug for those that have missed it: https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/threads/seatcupra-net-national-meet-2026-discussion-thread.482779/

Hankook Ventus are about the same price as Bridgestone Turanzas on the BlackCircles tyre website. PS4's are a bit pricier, but in my experience they don't last.

You have to look hard to find the Hankook reviews that aren't 5*,so I wouldn't be too hard on them.

I see Cupra haven`t used up all their job lot of Silver paint yet then, for £65K on a flagship car I would expect something a little more exclusive!

I get that and fair enough but I would 100% disagree on the Ps4s as they are by far the longest lasting tyres ive had but they are getting old now in technology for sure...

Weird, eh? I usually make tyres last really well, but my PS4's went so quickly that I swore never to buy them again. 'Stones, Vredesteins and Falkens lasted much longer.
