Cupra Formentor VZ5: Affordable Performance SUV
The Cupra Formentor VZ5 offers Audi DNA at a lower price ($102,000 AUD drive-away), but only 4,000 units exist globally [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z99Nzm5D1EI].
The Formentor VZ5 uses Audi's 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, also found in the RS3, making it a performance bargain. This engine delivers 390 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque in the Cupra. The limited production run makes the VZ5 an exclusive vehicle, potentially increasing its desirability among collectors. The scarcity also helps Cupra establish itself as a unique brand, separate from its parent company, SEAT. While the Australian price is around $102,000 AUD, prices in other markets may vary due to taxes and import duties. Despite the cost, the VZ5 offers similar performance to more expensive SUVs from established luxury brands.
