The e-HYBRID (PHEV) sits somewhere between combustion-engine and full-electric vehicle (EV). An e-HYBRID is capable of all-electric compulsion thanks to its battery. When fully powered up, you can drive between 25 to 70 kilometres solely on stored battery power. On short trips, the e-HYBRID operates like a fully electric vehicle (BEV) and doesn’t need to use gasoline. However, unlike a BEV, it can revert to regular hybrid operation once its electric range is depleted. Charging your e-HYBRID reduces fuel use, but it’s never mandatory.
Due to its size, a full battery charge cannot be achieved solely via the on-board generator and so requires plugging into an electrical outlet or charging station. The innovative interplay between both the electric and combustion motor allows for fuel-saving and lowers exhaust emissions while providing the user with an exceptional driving sensation.
On shorter journeys, a plug-in hybrid generally runs on pure electric power provided it makes sense, such as in urban areas. For maximum efficiency in different driving situations, such as longer journeys or when rapidly accelerating, it uses the combined power of the electric motor and combustion engine. If the battery which powers the electric motor has no charge, the vehicle will solely use the combustion engine.
Semi-hybrids, which are not charged using a power cable, use the electric motor to assist the combustion engine.
In hybrids, the electric motor and battery are larger than in semi-hybrids. Hybrids can power the vehicle using the electric motor for short distances and recharge its battery using the motor or through regenerative braking.
A plug-in hybrid can be recharged by literally plugging it into a charging point at home, or in a public one. It offers greater pure electric autonomy thanks to the larger battery and electric motor. The plug-in hybrid allows many people to make their normal commute to and from work using the emission-free, electric powered engine.
Driver’s of a plug-in hybrid benefit from an almost silent driving experience in all-electric mode, as well as additional acceleration power (torque) thanks to the electric motor.
Many plug-in hybrid vehicle owners already manage most of their journeys in electric mode as daily trips are usually well under 50 kilometres in range. Depending on your electricity tariff, considerable savings are made when compared to a vehicle with a classic combustion engine. But with a plug-in hybrid, you never have to give up complete autonomy: if the battery charge or capacity is not sufficient, the combustion engine will be automatically activated as required.
This category of vehicles also has economic advantages: through direct aid and subsidies for electric vehicles. And indirectly, with tax advantages thanks to their lower CO2 emissions.
Most users charge their vehicles at home throughout the night, with a Wallbox unit that can be installed in the carport or garage. Others are able to charge their vehicle at work or at public charging stations which are fortunately becoming easier to find.
A plug-in hybrid can be charged from an outlet, a Wallbox system or a public charging point. The maximum efficiency of a plug-in hybrid is achieved with a fully charged battery, so the possibility of charging at home or at the workplace should be taken into consideration. It is recommended that you charge your plug-in hybrid vehicle as many times as you can, so as to take full advantage of the additional electric motor.
The electric range of a plug-in hybrid vehicle depends on the size of its battery. In the case of CUPRA, the maximum electric range is between 50 and 60kms, depending on the model. The overall range when combined with the combustion engine is of course significantly higher.
Obviously, the range will depend on the model, driving style, the topography and road conditions. The main advantage of a plug-in hybrid is that you always have the gasoline engine as a reserve when between charges, so autonomy should not be a problem.
Charging times may vary, depending on factors such as the outside temperature, the current temperature of the battery, the charging equipment, the condition of the battery and the condition of the vehicle. Specific charging times are detailed in the technical specifications for each available plug-in hybrid model.
Using a standard charging cable, plug-in hybrid vehicles can be charged from a conventional 3-pin socket. For a faster charge, you can also use a charging station or a Wallbox. The CUPRA CHARGER is equipped with its own charging cable. For public charging stations, you need what is known as a “public AC charging cable” with a “Type 2” plug on both ends. In addition, a plug-in hybrid can also obtain part of its charge via regenerative power.
8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first.
An external factor essential to the performance and capacity of a battery is temperature. For this reason, especially in winter, it is necessary to "precondition" the vehicle during the charging process, that is, to warm up the battery and the interior. Or cool them in summer. This way you will not only save energy to use during driving, but you will also gain extra efficiency right from the start, with a battery at optimal temperature. Furthermore, optimized operating strategies in your vehicle minimize the effects of temperature as much as possible. In addition to the temperature, the range also depends on user-related factors: use of air conditioning, load weight and driving style etc.
The 5-door CUPRA Leon (180kW) and The CUPRA Formentor (150kW & 180kW) are all available with plug-in hybrid technology.

When your car detects a serious accident due to airbag deployment or belt tensioner, a connection is automatically established with the Emergency Call Centre.
If CUPRA CONNECT is activated, the Call is made to a private service instead of the public/local emergency phone number. With Private Emergency Call, Emergency services receive additional data regarding the nature of the accident, such as location, address, number of people involved and severity of the accident.
Additionally, HMI language is passed on so you can always be attended in your language, even abroad. If your language isn't available, you'll be attended in English, no matter where you are.
If you prefer, we'll stay on the phone with you until the emergency services arrive. Please keep in mind that normally we don't track your location. Your data is only transferred in the case of an accident to ensure your safety. Manual activation of the Emergency Call feature via the three-button module or the Infotainment screen is also available.
The Breakdown Call is always activated manually, but in the case of a minor accident (which does not exceed the accident threshold) a popup will appear with three buttons (Activate Emergency Call, Activate Breakdown Call Assistance Call or Cancel). Anyone can contact the Breakdown Call service by pressing the center button in the three-button module or in the "phone" section of the in-car menu.
When you activate the Breakdown Call service, your vehicle transmits information such as mileage (km), current warning lights and error messages, so the CUPRA Agent can better serve you and spot the fault seamlessly.
When activated, the Breakdown Call also shares the time and location of your car so your operator knows where to find you. This is useful if your car is broken down in a sparsely populated area and you don't know exactly where you are.
When your Onboard infotainment system sends you a reminder about an upcoming inspection, your Preferred Service Partner (PSP) receives a notification. The workshop then gets in touch with you to arrange an appointment, using your preferred contact method (e-mail or phone).
Your PSP will receive the following information about your car:
Vehicle Status shows the following information about your car:
If you car was in an area with poor network coverage, such as an underground car park, it may have failed to send parking data to the server. Under normal circumstances, your car's last Parking Position is sent to the server as soon as the engine is switched off.

The edition of the owner's manual is the same as the vehicle’s year of production.
You can check the compatibility of your smartphone with your car model in the "CUPRA compatibility list" PDF available on the "Bluetooth Compatibility" section of this page.
The vehicle owner’s manual is an instructional booklet that is specific to your vehicle. It includes important information to make you a better driver and car owner, including maintenance and troubleshooting advice.
In this manual section, you can download 3 types of documents:
The recommended tyre pressure for your model can be found in the owner’s manual.
If the pressure is too high, the centre of your tyres will make disproportionate contact with the road which causes uneven tread wear.
Check tyre pressure at least once a month, and also prior to any long trip. Most petrol stations have measuring equipment. If possible, it’s best to check the pressure when the tyres are cold.
Tyres lose on average 0.1 PSI of pressure every three months. If yours are losing pressure more quickly you should contact your local workshop.
There is no specific life plan for a tyre. Your driving style, vehicle set up or tire pressure will all influence end wear. Good care of your tyres can significantly help their mileage. Passenger car tyres should be replaced by the time they reach a tread depth of 1.6mm in one of the measurable grooves.
You will find the information in the technical documentation of your vehicle. If you have any doubts you can consult your local CUPRA dealer.
