I’ve taken delivery of my new Cupra 290 Lux last week and I’ve been driving it quite abit but I cannot help but to notice the bad fuel economy I’m receiving from it, when I’m driving in comfort getting around town I’m averaging 16mpg and on motorways I’m averaging around 21mpg, has anyone else got this issue? The only thing i can think as to why this is happening is because i haven’t done over 1,000 miles in my car yet?

My 300 was the same, lad it will improve. I noticed improvement in mpg when I hit around 2k - 3k

My current record on my commute home...
I managed to hit 26mpg today, on a short trip in eco mode, still not sure if that’s good though.
Howw??! Maybe i have to let my cupra reach around that many miles? Or did you always have that fuel economy?
Comfort mode, barely brushing the accelerator, allow the car to change up into 3rd or 4th before accelerating.
I have had trips down in the low 20's around town.
23 mile commute 19 of it on the motorway. Cruise control between 70-75mph. If you have the average mpg display set at "From start" instead of instant or long term it averages the whole day I.e in both directions
Only if the ignition is off for less than two hours. After that, it will reset itself (unless the latest cars are different).
I have a feeling its different, I know what you say is right as my previous fr only kept the average if it was under 2 hours.
Should get better, engine will still be tight etc! Did a run up to Carlisle from Newcastle a few month back, sat at 100+ most of the way there, early morning, averaged 36mpg! On the way back mid-day sat at 50-60 and averaged 42mpg!
This was a run from Sunderland to Doncaster in the summer! Cupra 300 stage 1!

I hit 38mpg again sitting in comfort on the motorway commute again this afternoon, totally ruined it when I put it into cupra mode at the end lol.
36.5mpg for me this morning, much more stop/start on the way in...
No Cupra mode today for me... was yours worth it?
Oh definetly and the exhaust sounds like its getting more throaty as the newness wears off if that makes sense.36.5mpg for me this morning, much more stop/start on the way in...

Do you have to select eco mode every time you start the engine? It’s seems to remain in individual mode but eco doesn’t seem to work unless you select individual mode again.
