On March 3, Cupra, a high-performance sub brand of Xiyate, released a group of official drawings of its medium-sized SUV formantor mass production model. From the picture, the Cupra formantor draws more from the design of the tarraco model of Xiyate, which looks more sharp. The new car, which provides traditional fuel and plug-in hybrid power, will be officially launched overseas in the fourth quarter of 2020. The new car's polygonal front and middle net, similar to the triangle headlamp group, has a sharp style, which looks familiar and novel with the family style headlamp group of Xiyate brand. The front surrounding with complex modeling also highlights the sense of movement, which conforms to the tonality of high-performance brand models. In addition, the new car is also equipped with a circular light on both sides of the central network, which looks more unique. From the side of the car body, the body shape of the mass production version of Cupra formantor is very smooth and elegant. The sharp waistline protruding from the car body is in a two-stage shape. The rear waistline on the rear fender is matched with the upward side window line, which brings a stronger sense of motion. The biggest highlight on the side of the car comes from the multi spoke wheel rim similar to the petal shape, which also highlights the performance design. The tail shape basically keeps the overall shape of the concept car, and the inclined D-pillar shape, the rear spoiler of the roof and the through tail light are all retained. The tailgate of the new car adopts a three-dimensional design with rich sense of hierarchy. Under the sketch and embellishment of the large-scale diffuser at the bottom and the four way exhaust at the two sides, the visual effect is full of impact. In terms of interior decoration, the central console design of the new car is full of layers. It is equipped with a full LCD instrument panel, a flat bottom multi-functional sports steering wheel with a carbon fiber airbag cover, a 12 inch suspended central control touch screen, and a stitching design on the upper surface. The overall atmosphere takes into account the design sense and movement breath. In addition, the electronic handle of the new model is small and exquisite. In terms of intelligent configuration, the new car also supports apple Carplay, Android auto and other Internet functions. In terms of power, the new car provides traditional fuel and plug-in hybrid power. Among them, the traditional fuel powered vehicle is equipped with a 2.0T, the maximum power is 310 horsepower (228kw), and the peak torque is 400nm. The plug-in hybrid model consists of a 1.4T turbocharged engine and an electric motor. The system has a combined maximum power of 245 horsepower (180 kW), and can drive 50 km in pure electric mode under wltp condition. In addition, both transmission systems are matched with a set of 7-speed double clutch transmission.
