I love this car. The new Cupra Born VZ 320ch will coming soon 😍😍😍

@drivingenthusiastaustralia 5 ай бұрын

Yep, the VZ should be interesting. More power, sportier suspension etc.

Quite a good looking car. What I don't get in all these modern cars with the big touch screens. If I drive down the road and operate my phone. And get seen by police. Or one of the phone/seatbelt cameras. I get a $1200 fine. So what is the difference in using all these touch screens. Are you supposed to stop every time you want to operate them. Because most people won't. So explain the difference. Because I can't see it.

It’s an excellent point. I’ve often wondered the same thing - these new big screens can be just as distracting.

As far as I know, the enforcement happens when they capture the "phone". If you can prove that you were not using a mobile phone, instead you were holding an ice cream or something that looks like a mobile phone, the court would lift the penalty for you.

Thanks for sharing. I have heard a lot about the accuracy of Volkswagen's EV range. I think this feature could benefit Aussie drivers a lot in the near future.

It’s pronounced “Coopra” Not “Cup-ra” as in a cup of water Doesn’t Cupra share the exact same platform and engines as the VW vehicles such as the Golf GTI and R

@drivingenthusiastaustralia 5 ай бұрын

Thanks. Yes, Cupra is owned by VW.

Interesting proposition, hopefully in the next update they will have lost 250-300kg, got some rear air vents and better tyres….

Has anyone noticed this delightful footnote on the 2024 Cupra: “Maximum power determined according to UN GTR.21….Availability of maximum power requires a specific high voltage battery temperature of between 23-50ºC and a battery charge level greater than 55% to deliver around 170kW for 58kWh (62kWh Gross) battery, and temperature of between 23-50ºC and a battery charge level greater than 85% to deliver around 170kW for 77kWh (82kWh Gross) Battery. Any deviations from the aforementioned parameters can lead to reduced power output and even to the overboost not being available at all.” Nice. I’d like to know how the driver is supposed to achieve these conditions out on the road!!!

Arrête de poster le même commentaire partout ...sur les nouveaux modèles born 2024 si tu utilises le planificateur cupra ils ont ajouté de serie le preconditionnement de la batterie pour arriver sur une borne de recharge et charger à pleine puissance immédiatement....

Around town review? Concerned that a 2ton hatch is gonna feel like a slouch about roundabouts and drive like junk with 5 people and some luggage

@drivingenthusiastaustralia 5 ай бұрын

It offers all of its torque instantly, so it’s actually more fun and practical zipping around town. Darts away from roundabouts very easily etc. Hope that helps.

@gesp5151 4 ай бұрын

It doesn’t charge per technical specifications on either AC or DC so is not fit for purpose. Frequently (75/80% of time) half charges on overnight charging even in a built in garage so actual range achieved overnight is useless. Very slow 5-80% charging on DC supercharge: 50/55 minutes not 35, so not suitable for motorway driving
