Cupra in Ireland, another year of growth


The Cupra Formentor compact SUV was the VW-owned performance brand's biggest seller in Ireland in 2022, with 521 units, writes Brian Byrne. In second place was the Cupra Born electric hatchback, with 126 units.

The Irish distributor says demand outstripped supply for its models because of disruption caused by the war in Ukraine and supply chain issues, but nevertheless they achieved growth for the fourth year in succession in the Irish market.

The other models in the Cupra range are the Leon hatchback and Sportstourer and the Ateca SUV.

It is offered as an all-rounder and family car and, as the model number suggests, sits between the brand’s smaller Q3 and larger Q5 model. Its length of 4.58m is slightly shorter than that of the Audi Q5 although Audi say it offers comparable interior space.  Two body styles are offered — the SUV version and a Sportback model. Both have the same length and width at 4588mm and 1865mm respectively but the SUV is slightly higher than the Sportback. By comparison the VW ID.5 from the Volkswagen Group is slightly longer but not as wide or as high as the Q4 e-tron but that said, there’s not much difference really.

Skoda's Enyaq Coupe EV has gone on sale in Ireland at a starting price of €56,710, writes Brian Byrne . With a rated range of up to 545km (real-life use may not achieve that) the car offers a model option to its SUV sibling, and a 570L boot capacity is only 15L less. Skoda Ireland says the Enyaq Coupe's launch here was delayed by 12 months because of demand worldwide, and demand for Skoda's EV still continues to outstrip supply. There is a choice of two battery sizes, rear- and all-wheel drive, plus power outputs ranging from 180hp to 265hp.
