The CarTell take

We have not driven this yet. On paper, here is how it stacks up.

Strongest suit on paper: 523 km WLTP on the Endurance, real road-trip range for an MEB car. 15-inch landscape touchscreen, the largest in any current MEB car. Sport bucket seats, copper accents and a properly distinct cabin design. 5-star ANCAP from 2024.
The trade-off: 135 kW DC peak is well behind the 800V Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. Cupra dealer network smaller than VW or Hyundai. VZ at $74,990 plus on-roads overlaps Polestar 4 and Tesla Model Y Performance territory.
Check before you buy: V2 is the sweet spot for daily buyers, Endurance is the answer if you need the range, VZ is the one to drive. The 135 kW DC peak is the genuine weakness in the segment.
Best suited to: Style-led buyers drawn to the copper accents and coupe roofline, VZ hot-hatch graduates wanting the 250 kW AWD and DCC adaptive damping, long-distance EV buyers picking the Endurance 523 km WLTP, and families of four wanting a 540 L boot.
