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), The CUPRA Leon Sportstourer (180kW) and The CUPRA Formentor (150kW & 180kW) are all available with plug-in hybrid technology.

No, all chargers can be used to charge both PHEVs and BEVs from most brands, since EU-plug is Standard is universal, according to IEC 62196-2 and IEC 62196-3 and local standardization initiatives…so an investment in a CUPRA Charger by Elli should be a one-off long-term investment in a true e-Mobility enabler.

No, all Chargers can also be used to charge Electric Vehicles from other brands as its plug is optimised for the European market.

Our installation partners also carry out all functional tests and inspections in accordance with local requirements. If you require additional services, our installation partners will be happy to offer you an individual additional offer.

Let us know right away if you have a problem. You can reach us via our hotline (+800-73273554) or by email (cupra-seat-support@elli.eco) within Europe. Outside Europre, please contact your local dealership.  Our customer service department will deal with your concerns directly or can transfer you to our technicians.

The initial outlay of the hardware and installation is billed through the webshop by Elli. The customer will receive an email with the shopping cart and a link to confirm his order. There they can decide between different types of payment methods (e.g. credit card, PayPal or SEPA) and confirm the payment.

A RFID Card (radio-frequency identification) is a card that is necessary to sign up. You will be able to order it in the process of subscription.

Furthermore, you need the card to activate your connected Wallbox, and at many stations you can start the charging process with the card.

Currently there are two possibilities to start and stop your charging session at public charging points. Either you authorise the session with the RFID card (by holding it to the card reader of the charging point). When you start a charging session with the RFID card, you must end it also with the RFID card.

Another way to start the charging session is to start it via the app. Select the charging point, connect the cable and click on “start charging” – after a couple of seconds (depending on your internet connection and the servers of the Charging Point Operator) the session will start.

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:

1. User's manual with all the car relevant car information.
2. Rescue sheets. It is a document that contains all the information that the emergency services must know for a quick and safe rescue of the occupants of a vehicle.
3. Bluetooth compatibility between your car and a smartphone.

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.

With Auto Credit and Classic Credit, the bank remains the owner of the vehicle until the final instalment is paid. It also keeps the vehicle's registration document. With the payment of the final instalment, you become the sole owner and receive the vehicle registration document.

The interest rate for Auto Credit and individual loans is set at the beginning of the contract term and remains the same over the entire period.

Both the Auto Credit and the Classic Credit are generally referred to as balloon financing. With balloon financing, you have little or no down payment and low monthly payments over the entire term of the contract. The closing instalment is correspondingly higher. Balloon financing is especially suitable for you if you cannot raise a large amount at the moment but expect higher financial resources in the future and would like to benefit from higher monthly liquidity.

With Auto Credit, you also have the option of returning the vehicle to the delivery CUPRA partner instead of paying the final instalment. This makes the Auto Credit attractive and flexible.

If you would like to have a low monthly instalment, you can do so by paying a higher down payment at the start of the contract. This reduces the total charge to be paid right at the beginning, which has a positive effect on the level of individual instalments. 

If you lack such financial means at the outset but expect to have them in the future, balloon financing is the best type of financing for you. This financing type offers low monthly instalments and a higher final instalment. You can find more information in the following paragraph.

With Auto Credit, you also have the option of returning the vehicle to the delivery CUPRA partner instead of paying the final instalment. This makes the Auto Credit attractive and flexible.

As a rule, you can trade in your current vehicle and use the profit to pay part of the financing for your new vehicle, such as the down payment at the beginning of the contract period. Depending on your down payment amount, you can lower the monthly payments. 

Ask your CUPRA partner about this option.

You can freely choose from the entire range of configuration options and models from CUPRA and put together your own personal dream car.

Upon accident resulting in a total loss or theft, the optional CUPRA purchase price protection protects you, regardless of whether it is caused by a third-party or self-inflicted. The purchase price protection reimburses you for the difference between the original purchase price and the replacement value of the vehicle. If you have fully comprehensive insurance as part of the contract, the purchase price protection also covers the excess. Therefore, the purchase price protection makes purchasing a new vehicle much easier for you. If you also take out an ŠKODA fully comprehensive insurance, the purchase price protection is particularly cheap for you.

With a Classic Credit, you pay the contractually agreed final instalment at the end of the contract period, whereby you become the owner of the vehicle. In this case, the residual value of the vehicle is irrelevant, as it becomes your property in any case.

With Auto Credit, you have a securitised right of return, which is issued to you by your CUPRA partner. You may also return the vehicle to your partner at the end of the contract period. Upon choosing this option, the process is very similar to that of leasing. In this case, your CUPRA partner bears the risk of used vehicles, but the residual value does not matter to you as a customer. If you choose to continue financing the car, you may conclude a new contract to finance the final instalment (creditworthiness required). At the end of the contract period, the vehicle becomes yours. If you pay the final instalment in full, you are also the owner.

A car subscription is the flexible way to drive your own car without being tied to long contract periods. The monthly rate already includes all owning costs. Only the costs for electricity and car washes have to be added.

The advantage of a car subscription is that you are flexible with full cost control and always drive a top-maintained car. We take care of the registration, insurance and taxes for you, so that you only have to fulfill your keeper obligations.

In addition to your monthly rate, a starting fee and a one-time fee for the vehicle delivery to a desired address / desired station, when changing the vehicle class or when returning the vehicle (e.g. additional kilometers) can be added. Additional costs may arise in the event of administrative offenses, damage or misdemeanors.

XXX free kilometers per month are included in your car Subscription. An upgrade to XXXX or XXXX free kilometers per month is also possible as part of an additional kilometer package. Any additional kilometers traveled will be billed separately in the event of a vehicle exchange, class change or vehicle return.

To make your car subscription as flexible as possible, up to four other people from your household can use the vehicle. These people must be first-degree relatives (parents, children) or spouses / life partners who live in your household. You can enter these additional drivers at the start of the contract. All drivers must meet the requirements regarding minimum age, driving experience and possession of a driver's license.

The monthly rate includes the use of the vehicle as well as the costs for registration, general inspections, vehicle tax (not applicable for electric vehicles), maintenance, wear parts, inspection and tires as well as insurance.

The majority of the fleet consists of well-maintained pre owned vehicles with a maximum age of three years (after first registration). For a small extra fee, you can use the "Forever Young Guarantee" to secure a vehicle that is no longer than 12 months old at the time of handover and which we will exchange at the latest when the vehicle is 18 months old.

Depending on the selected vehicle class, optional vehicle equipment can be selected during your ordering process (e.g. automatic transmission, navigation).

The contract period begins when the vehicle is handed over to you. The minimum contract term also starts at this point in time.

We want to get you on the road quickly and flexibly. You can select the exact delivery date you want during the ordering process. You will receive your vehicle no earlier than XX days after your order.

You will need your identity card or passport and your driver's license when getting your vehicle handed over.

The Leasing service offers you a monthly payment contract that will allow you to enjoy your CUPRA, as well as all the services you need to drive the vehicle (insurance and complementary repair service plan, maintenance plan, tyre plan, fuel card...).

Each of the monthly rentals includes all of these services, so you will be able to use the car as if it were your own, but with more added benefits and a more affordable payment method.

You choose. You can contract the CUPRA Leasing service with no down payment or with a down payment of up to 30% of the car's value, depending on the rental you wish to pay each month.

Yes, if you are self-employed or own a company, you can claim a deduction for the amount (percentage) you use the vehicle for your professional or business activity. If you have any queries, please ask your personal advisor for more information.

Yes, of course. You can request a test drive at your nearest retailer, whenever you want.

If your request is not granted, it will be cancelled at no cost to you whatsoever. If you would like us to help you find other ways of enjoying your new CUPRA, please contact your nearest retailer.

Cancellation of the Leasing service before the end of the contract is possible, although an early termination penalty is charged.

Leasing is not only interesting for business people, but is also enjoying increasing popularity among private individuals. Advantages are obvious: consistently low monthly payments and no used car risk. In addition, you receive a cutting-edge vehicle without having to pay the full purchase price. This is why many people now consider private leasing to be a good alternative to cash purchases or financing.

Yes, you can put together your CUPRA without restrictions.

You can either choose from a large selection of new cars that are immediately available, or you can configure your vehicle to meet your needs. The possible waiting time is identical to the time you have to wait when buying a vehicle in cash, for example.

No problem with CUPRA Private Leasing: Up to XXX KM more or less are within the tolerance limit. You can also easily offset the costs at the end of the term. And if you have even driven less than agreed, you will be reimbursed up to XXX fewer KM. Here, too, the tolerance limit of XXX KM applies, during which no billing takes place.

No. Normal signs of use and minor damage, which correspond to the usual signs of use, are usually not objected to. In the event of major damage and defects that, according to the expert, go beyond the normal signs of use, the amount by which the vehicle value was reduced must be replaced. The hull insurance provides additional security: it is liable for damage caused by an accident, for example - even if it was caused by oneself.

Even with a leased vehicle, you have a free choice of insurance for your vehicle.

In accordance with the leasing terms and conditions, a fully comprehensive insurance is mandatory.
