Model Year 24/25 2024 Formentor Brake problem

Feb 18, 2025

Hello, I recently bought a brand new 0km 2024 facelifted Cupra Formentor. I have a concern about the braking behavior. For example, when stopping at a red light or slowing down in city traffic, I gradually increase the brake pressure for a smooth, jerk-free stop (similar to squeezing a lemon). However, during this braking process, the car suddenly starts to coast as if I have lifted my foot off the brake and put it in neutral.

This makes me feel like I’ve lost control, so I instinctively press the brake pedal harder. But at that moment, it feels like the brake system is unresponsive and does not slow the car down.

If I were not paying close attention or following another car too closely, this could be a serious issue. Is this a normal behavior in hybrid cars? or is there something wrong with the braking system?
