The CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is the pinnacle of combustion performance, and that is matched by its determination to offer the highest levels of connectivity and digitalisation making part of the customer’s digital eco-system.
Integrating the most advanced infotainment and connectivity solutions, the VZ5 keeps customers in touch, allowing them to bring their digital lives into the vehicle but never distracting from the pleasure of driving. The CUPRA Formentor is a driver’s car first and foremost.
Inside the cabin the pixel-dense 10.25” Digital Cockpit epitomises the approach to digitalisation. The system provides greater functionality, allowing drivers to view a range of information, from classic analogue dials to full-colour maps and navigation.
Completely customisable, the 1,280 x 480-pixel TFT display provides a specific CUPRA View mode, putting information including RPM, torque, power, turbo pressure and G-acceleration giving greater clarity and creating a more emotional, focused display. Without forgetting the shift light indicator visible when the gears are shifted in manual mode.
The cluster is augmented by the 12” infotainment system built on the MIB3 platform. Incorporating a 1,560 x 700-pixel capacitive display, 3D online navigation and new interaction methods, with both natural voice recognition and gesture control.
The system combines the Wireless Full Link system making it compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. So, whether you want to bring your contact list, music, podcasts or mapping systems into the car, they’re all available, and can be accessed in a controlled, intuitive, safe manner.
Capacitive touch technology improves interaction, making the use of the system responsive and precise. Touch sliders add to the ease of use, allowing control of the Climatronic as well as volume control.
Voice recognition is arguably one of the most natural ways to interact with devices, especially as we become increasingly used to home assistants from the consumer electronics world.
The system can be used to control the Climatronic, find navigation information or search for music in a safer and easier way. Simply say the wake-up words “Hola, Hola” and the system is ready to interact with. Occupants use natural language and commands, making corrections and referencing previous commands.
The connection with the outside world is growing in importance. CUPRA Connect brings online services directly into the vehicle thanks to an embedded SIM. Customers can access downloadable apps, online radio and an expanding ecosystem of functionality meaning the system will always be up to date.
And when users are away from their vehicle, they can access vehicle information including driving data, parking information, vehicle status and set up speed alerts using the CUPRA Connect app.
The embedded SIM also brings improved safety into the vehicle as users benefit from the eCall service. If an accident occurs the vehicle can directly contact the emergency services either manually or automatically. And should the worst happen the vehicle can relay important data including car position, engine type, and number of passengers making it easier for them to assist.
And, to make sure connections are never lost, the CUPRA Formentor includes Qi standard protocol inductive charging for mobile devices (Connectivity Box), as well as four USB-C ports (two in the front, two in the rear) and Bluetooth connectivity so you’re never out of touch.
