Customers who missed out on the 50 Formentor VZx Launch Edition vehicles are being contacted by the company’s local division to “ensure priority for future vehicle arrivals”, with the full Cupra line-up to go on sale in July 2022 – around the same time the special launch editions are due to be delivered to customers.
The Cupra range has already received over 9000 expressions of interest ahead of Australian sales commencing in July, with the brand confirming the Formentor accounts for the bulk of interest. It’s followed by the Born EV, the Spanish brand’s version of the Volkswagen ID.3, due to arrive in “early 2023”.
Cupra says it will have “agents” in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the ACT when first vehicles touch down in July, with the “halo of these City Garages” to be located in Sydney’s CBD. The brand has already confirmed it’s working with a number of dealer partners across the country.
