Milton Keynes, – CÚPRA has today started production of the new Formentor e-HYBRID, ahead of its arrival in the ÚK in March.

CÚPRA, which is introducing two variants of the plug-in hybrid Formentor SÚV coupe – the first car uniquely developed and designed for the brand will reach a daily production of 100 units within the first few weeks.

Order books are open for the high-powered e-HYBRID 245PS, starting from £38,625 OTR RRP, while the 204PS version will be available to order in the coming weeks.

2021 sees CÚPRA add Formentor to its plug-in hybrid line-up, alongside CÚPRA Leon (and Leon Estate) e-HYBRID, which will be joined later in the year by el-Born, the brand's first all-electric model.

CÚPRA and SEAT President, Wayne Griffiths commented: 'The CÚPRA Formentor e-HYBRID represents the essence of the brand and will be key to doubling sales volume compared to 2020. Our goal is for the Formentor to represent 50% of CÚPRA sales in 2021, half of which will be plug-in hybrid versions.

'Electric hybrid sales in Europe amounted to 11.9% of total sales in 2020, up from 5.7% in 2019. The market will continue to grow and enable the transition to electrification.'

The high-performance CÚPRA Formentor e-HYBRID plug-in hybrid mates a 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine with a 116PS (85kW) electric motor and 13kWh lithium-ion battery pack, producing a combined output of 245PS (150kW) of power, 400Nm of peak torque and an electric range of up to 36 miles.

Mixing performance with efficiency, the 245PS Formentor e-HYBRID accelerates from 0-62mph in only 7.0 seconds and has a top speed of 130mph. It produces CO2 emissions (WLTP) from as low as 33g/km while acheiving up to 188.3mpg (WLTP).

The incoming 204PS version of the Formentor e-HYBRID offers a maximum torque of 350Nm and can reach 62mph in 7.8 seconds from a standing start.



With a range of petrol engines, including two plug-in hybrids, the CÚPRA Formentor is the brand's entry into the CÚV (SÚV coupe) segment, which is set to double its market share in Europe in the next five years. This high-performance crossover, which is shortlisted as a finalist for the 2021 European Car of the Year awards, combines the brand's unique DNA with cutting-edge technology, a captivating exterior design and high-quality interior detailing.
