Cupra Leon Ve Opens for Orders in Australia Ahead of June Deliveries

The launch underlines Cupra’s push to sell long‑range plug‑in hybrids as a simple way to drive most days on electricity without giving up petrol backup.

Overview

Cupra opened orders in Australia on Wednesday for the Leon Ve plug‑in hybrid hatch, with first showroom arrivals and customer deliveries due in June.
The Ve is priced from $62,990 before on‑road costs, with drive‑away pricing listed between $66,490 and $69,490 depending on the state.
A new 20kWh usable battery enables a claimed 123km WLTP electric‑only range, AC charging rises to 11kW, and DC fast charging is offered for the first time on Cupra’s PHEV system.
The drivetrain pairs a 1.5‑litre turbo petrol engine and an electric motor for 150kW and 350Nm, delivering a 0–100km/h claim of 7.7 seconds, which is about a second slower than the outgoing VZe.
The Ve adopts the Leon facelift with a shark‑nose front and a 12.9‑inch infotainment screen, and its arrival rounds out PHEV choices across Cupra’s combustion models in Australia including the Leon Sportstourer, Formentor and Terramar.
