SEAT had its annual press convention right this moment, and whereas that may not appear related for the United States, it truly is. The spin-off Cupra model established in 2018 intends to enter North America by the top of the last decade. Of all of the Volkswagen Group manufacturers not bought right here, we had hoped to see Skoda attain this aspect of the pond however we’re getting Cupra as an alternative.

The plan is to introduce a totally electrical model of the Formentor, though doubtless based mostly on the subsequent technology. The present crossover is already 4 years previous, so it could be severely oudated by 2030. SEAT says a facelift for the present mannequin is ready to interrupt cowl within the coming weeks for the European market. Our cash is on the next-gen Formentor for the US market because the present mannequin would not actually have a battery-powered model.
