• Formentor members, we are testing a new feature requiring selection of a model year when posting - more info here

When did you order, when is it arriving?

Good news for you. How does the Graphene Grey come across in real life?
IMO Graphene Grey looks fantastic. When I initially went to my dealership to look at the Formentor and discuss the deal on offer, they had a Desire Red V1 in the showroom and a silver (which looks to now be discontinued) and Camouflage VZ2 sitting outside.

After a couple of days thinking about it I went back for a test drive and with the intention of doing a deal on either a Camouflage or Graphene Grey car. When I walked into the showroom, the red V1 that was there two days previously has been replaced with a Graphene Grey V2 hybrid. As soon as I seen it I knew it was the colour I wanted and never even thought about the Camouflage again. It suits the car so well I think.

Here’s a photo I took of it in the showroom if that helps any.

Thanks for the pic. Looks stunning. With my car on order it was more a process of eliminating the colours I didn’t think did the car justice. I think we’ve made the right choice!

It looks even better in person. Having seen the Desire Red in the showroom under the lights and also the car I test drove was Desire Red, I personally thought it did nothing for the car, as well as the silver they had in their forecourt (maybe why its been discontinued). My mate was behind a Camouflage V2 and sent me a photo, and I am glad I didn't go for it, as it doesn't look green at all on the road and just looks grey which was very similar to my Mineral Grey 1 Series that I just got rid of.

It's a shade darker than the Skoda similar shade... more like the Audi nardo grey. Beautiful colour - had only positive comments!
I would agree with that, it is quite similar to Nardo Grey. Our friends just got a Meteor Grey Octavia vRS Challenge Edition last week and it looks a lot lighter than the Graphene Grey.

There’s no logic to Cupra’s schedules. It’s as if they randomly pick a car to build they fancy.

Another week goes by with no build date......

Ordered mid may,vz2,,leasing options

Same boat here! Was told to expect October delivery but with a 6 week build to deliver window that’s not happening! Called Cupra UK yesterday who told me December was much more likely…

I finally have a build update! Been given a provisional build week of week 40 and expected at the dealer by week 44 so early November. Later than hoped as was originally told October but not far off and at least it's still this year :D

Sounds good. My build week was 32 (9th August) but having spoken to Cupra this morning it’s still ‘in production’. Probably waiting for semi-conductors.

Only 4 weeks from build to completion and shipped to the UK? That's quick. I was told there was a two week build process, then approx. another 2-3 weeks delivery and probably a week to get it all registered and ready for pick up. I am confirmed week 37 (w/c 13th September) and was anticipating delivery around last week of October/first week of November.

Just what I’ve been told by the dealer so far. It does seem quick but maybe because I’m getting a 190 ps 4drive model it is expedited so they can have actual examples of this variant out on the road/at dealers? Pure speculation though.

I'm sure I read on a post here that Cupra were no longer starting to build cars that they didn't have all the parts for, and would only start building a car that they could fully complete. Hoping that wasn't a porky pie that Cupra have told.
