Battery chemistry The 52 kWh cars use NMC instead. LFP packs are happy being charged to 100% regularly.

LFP

Charging

Plug & Charge Needs ID. Software 3.1 or newer. From Octopus Electroverse's list, which covers the UK networks it roams: MFG, IONITY, Porsche, Allego and E.ON Drive.

Yes

Autocharge Volkswagen Group cars send a different identifier every time they plug in, so no network can tie the session to an account, and it is not something a driver can switch off. Plug & Charge is the group's answer to this instead. Fastned's published list stops at the cars of December 2022 and does not name this one, so treating it as the same software is our call.

Safety

Euro NCAP rating Achieved with the optional Safety Pack, which adds predictive adaptive cruise control and front cross traffic alert. CUPRA says the Plus, Endurance and VZ versions have it as standard, and those are not names the UK range uses. Tested under the 2026 protocol, which is harder than the one it replaced.

5 out of 5

Euro NCAP tested The 2026 protocol scores four things the earlier one did not, so these percentages do not compare with a rating from 2025 or before.

2026

Safe driving From the 2026 protocol. How well the car keeps the driver aware and in control: monitoring, speed assistance, sign recognition.

72 %

Crash avoidance From the 2026 protocol. Whether the car sees the hazard and acts: emergency braking, lane support, watching the traffic around it.

77 %

Crash protection From the 2026 protocol. The structure, the restraints and the airbags, for the people inside and the people hit.

91 %

Post-crash safety From the 2026 protocol, and new with it. Calling for help, making the car safe afterwards, and getting people out.
