2025 Volkswagen Golf GTI review
Take it from an existing Golf GTI owner – the new Mk8.5 is brilliant. It's as sharp as ever, and remains the benchmark all-round hot hatch.

2024 Cupra Formentor VZe Tribe Edition priced for Australia
Cupra has added a new Tribe Edition version of its plug-in hybrid Formentor VZe in Australia. Just 300 are headed Down Under.
Cupra has confirmed another special edition for Australia, this time based on the Formentor SUV.
Just 300 examples of the Cupra Formentor VZe Tribe Edition will be offered in local showrooms, with orders open now.
Priced from $67,990 before on-roads costs (drive-away from $70,990 to $73,990 depending on state), the Tribe Edition is $3000 more than the regular VZe.
It’s just $200 more than the Formentor VZe with Leather and Camera Package however, which still misses out on some key equipment standard in the Tribe Edition.
It rides on copper-accented 19-inch wheels lifted from the flagship Formentor VZx, and picks up Petrol Blue leather interior trim in place of the black finish featured on the standard car.
The front seats are heated, with power adjustment and memory, while the Tribe Edition also gains a nine-speaker Beats audio system, a surround-view camera, and memory side mirrors tied to the set position.
Power comes from the same plug-in hybrid powertrain offered in the VZe:
| Model | Cupra Formentor VZe |
|---|---|
| Engine | 1.4L 4cyl turbo |
| Power | 110kW (5000-6000rpm) |
| Torque | 250Nm (1550-3500rpm) |
| Electric motor | 85kW 330Nm |
| Total system outputs | 180kW 400Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed dual-clutch auto |
| Driven wheels | Front-wheel drive |
| Weight | 1712kg (tare) |
| 0-100km/h | 7.0 seconds |
| Fuel economy (claim) | 1.9L/100km 14.1kWh/100km |
| EV battery | 10.9kWh li-ion (usable) |
| EV driving range | 58km |
| Fuel tank size | 40L |
| Fuel requirement | 95 RON |
The Formentor is the best-selling Cupra model in Australia, with 303 deliveries to date in 2024.
An updated model has been revealed, but won’t hit our shores until the second quarter of 2025. It features new front end styling, a refreshed interior, and a range of new engine options.

There's little else out there with eight seats and a big V8, but the burly GMC Yukon Denali extra-large SUV isn't cheap.
