The Cupra Formentor compact SUV was the VW-owned performance brand’s biggest seller in Ireland in 2022, with 521 units, writes Brian Byrne. In second place was the Cupra Born electric hatchback, with 126 units. The Irish distributor says demand outstripped supply for its models because of disruption caused by the war in Ukraine and supply chain issues, but nevertheless they achieved growth for the fourth year in succession in the Irish market. The other models in the Cupra range are the Leon hatchback and Sportstourer and the Ateca SUV.
