Electric tailgate on V2

[Tennis Pro]

Hi, I've just found out that my car has been built in 2021, due to collect in a few weeks. I read on another post that the V2 will now not come with electric tailgate if it was built after December 2020, can anyone confirm yhst!?
Thanks in advance.

According to posts on the forum, V2 manufactured from week 7 onwards, doesn't have electric tailgate and virtual pedal. Brochure was updated in January and price of the car dropped.

Yes that’s correct. I ordered my V2 when the current brochure listed the electric tailgate as standard equipment and the price I paid was the higher amount.

My V2 was due to be built in week 7 and once I found out about the spec change I asked Cupra to confirm that my V2 would still have the electric tailgate as I placed my order in December 2020.

They confirmed that it wouldn’t, however as I wasn’t happy and I had escalated it to the Cupra CEO they admitted their mistake and they are building me my V2 with electric tailgate as a one off! It is due to be built w/c 15 March.

Many thanks. Not a deal breaker for me but interesting to see that they discontinued it.

It was a bit of a strange decision to take it off when the model had only been around for about a month!

It was a deal breaker for me as I found the virtual pedal really useful on my Ateca and I didn’t want to go back to a manual tailgate (and my wife’s car has an electric tailgate and I didn’t want to be outdone by her!)
