Cupra 300 General Discussion and Pics

[Love-Cupra]

Intro

I've added the video from the road test - more video on the way.

Full review in case you missed it.

Scott

Tnx all the info, and all of the Pictures and Videos.


One remark: Below Yr quoted text, and stated increase by 10%, but the percent is not applicable.
So increased by 10 period.

Under the hood, there are no real changes, with the exception of the increased horsepower by 10%, and notably an increase in torque from 350Nm to 380Nm.

Yes, the white one is with sunroof, looks quite well with black foil.

Hi Musli,
My guess is that question was about Yr new car with -or w/out- Pano also.
As that would be mine.... What other options(Tech/Packs) did you tick ?

 

[musli]

Hi, the blue one is without the pano roof because of the protective net (got a big dog . Ive added all extras except perf. packet (dont like the new perf wheels), leather and bucket seats.

Thanks for the 2 LC's, shoulder-to-shoulder.

First time I do see it like that, and so also first time to be able to compare directly.
As I suspected bigger Seat logo in the grill, still the fog's are not much of my taste (frankly
I prefere the ones as designed on the Ibiza) but slowly one will get a bit more used to them.
Big outside pro's are the LED, front as well as rear lights, as improved by all means.
On the inside the better tech/pack and more isolation use are rather good I think.

But also Yr white LC is not too shabby ! Wil be a harder farewell.....; real nice but slightly more in Yr face, compared with the new Blue car.
Will be interesting now how You will compare the drive of FWD and AWD. Believe this outcome/reporting will make or brake the AWD for a lot of readers here on the SCN forum.
Will be looking foreward for that, for sure.

Yes, ill miss the old car for some time, if i knew a year ago theyd come up with 4x4, i would wait for that. On the other hand the first cupra was that car which convinced me for seat so my heart beats for seat now Ill try to sum up first impressions old vs new in bullet points with my clumsy english

Adding photos of the new car with the old perf. wheels / new standard wheels comparisson. Will use the perf. for summer and standard for winter.

I photoshopped this a few weeks back to compare the sub-8/black edition alloys vs the new performance pack option. I think I still prefer the sub-8/BE wheels...

 

[Damo H]

Original sub 8 wheels are still the best looking wheels, would be interesting to know if the new standard wheels fit over the larger brembos of the sub8

Hi,

Yep, also for me the previous performance wheels are the best.
Design is rather close - the half of spoke. Meaning much more easy to close, as plenty
space to work.

Pricelist is now available on seat.uk for Cupra (and options). Wasn't updated last time I looked.

Wonder if we will get a Cupra R?

Agreed. New wheels too gappy. Easier to cleaner though.

I've covered this in my review - I was in the same conversation and that's not what was said to the journalists:

SEAT is gearing up to launch an extreme Leon Cupra R within the next 12 months, Auto Express can reveal.

We've got a thread for this too

Still wading through stuff. Another video up with random thoughts on the way to the airport.

Syphon convince me to trade my 280/14 for a new 300/17

you made the trade because....

[Love-Cupra]

Reluctant ?

Reluctant because of the DSG-7 possibility, but not waiting for a possible Leon Cupra R ??a
Seems a wee bit more exciting, perhaps even like a Boca Negra LRC.

But I'm sure that this new Cupra 300 will be rather exciting, as it is.
