2023 Cupra Leon VZ review

The Cupra Leon VZ shares its bones with the Volkswagen Golf GTI, but the finished product has a character of its own.

The Cupra Born is the first Volkswagen Group product to hit Australia riding on the MEB platform. We've had a very quick spin on local soil.

A plug-in hybrid hot hatch? The Cupra Leon VZe proves that electrification doesn't have to come at the cost of driver enjoyment.

The fastest Formentor blends capable VW Group underpinnings with some spicy Spanish flair. Does it stand out amongst its MQB cousins?

Cupra says it's all about standing out from the crowd. The Ateca is the least out there of its cars, but it's also very capable.

Cupra is officially here, and it's planning to take the sales charts by storm. The Formentor is its hero car at launch, and a key piece in the puzzle.

If you're disappointed by Volkswagen's refusal to sell the GTI Clubsport here, your demands have just been answered with the Cupra Leon VZx.

The Formentor is a new name in a crowded market, but those brave enough to take a punt on the sporty Spanish crossover won't be disappointed.
