Model Year 24/25 Facelift VZ3 and spacesaver

[Cupra Jon]

Just about to place my order for the VZ3 and two different dealerships have given me conflicting info on ordering a spacesaver to go in the back.

Dealer number one says it CAN be ordered at the time of placing the car order (even though it doesnt appear as an option on the configurator)
Dealer number 2 says it cant be ordered cos it wont fit in the back cos of the driveshaft for the AWD system...

I'll calling false on both cos unless Cupra were to be producing a completely different bodyshell for the AWD car then all cars should be identical until the engine and drivetrain is fitted...

As suspected, and pretty much confirmed, from initial research on here, my theory was the the Brembo's were the issue for the same reason as on my previous Fords - the spacesaver wouldnt clear the caliper which is why the Focus ST edition didnt have one cos of the caliper issue so as others have alluded to, in the event of a puncture you throw the spare onto the back if the puncture appears on the front wheels and move the rear wheel to the front temporarily....

With that in mind, if I am forced to source the spacesaver post build then will both it and the polystyrene surround fit in the boot without any issues?

I know the Senheiser sub fits within the spacesaver and is locked in with a cog like retainer so I have no worries there - just need to be sure the VZ3 boot will accomodate it?

Our old VZ2 4Drive definitely had a space saver under the boot floor.

VZN with beats audio and space saver here.

If you can look at the new formentor brochure page 31 gives you all the details with regards to space saver.
Seems like 333ps can't have one. Strange.

The VZ3 comes with Brembo brakes. On the pre face lift only the VZ2 with the 310 engine could have the spare wheel as the spare doesnt fit over the larger brembo brakes.

My VZN came with a space saver.

But us with VZN don't have brembo, so that's the key what I realised in this discussion for not having space saver in first place from the factory.

I changed the OE discs on mine to Pagid Grooved and Dimpled discs and Pagid Street+ pads and they have improved the stopping power which wasn`t bad to start with but with the extra 60 bhp I decided it could be improved, that may change again if Santa remembers some 4 pots!
