The Cupra Formentor arrived in 2020 as the brand’s first purpose-built model. Unlike previous Cupras that started life as SEATs, this crossover was conceived and developed as a Cupra from day one – and the difference shows.
What makes the Formentor interesting is how it handles the crossover compromise. Most rivals feel like they’ve prioritised either practicality or performance, but rarely both. The Formentor manages to combine a raised ride height and decent cargo space with handling that’s sharper than you’d expect from something this size.
Engine options cover different needs well. Standard petrols handle daily driving efficiently, while the VZ models add serious pace for those who want it. The plug-in hybrid version delivers both performance and lower running costs if your daily routine suits electric-only trips. Four-wheel drive is there for buyers who need extra traction, though most will find the front-drive setup handles well enough.
The Formentor works because Cupra hasn’t compromised on either side of its personality. You get a car that fits into family life without feeling boring, and that’s harder to achieve than it sounds. Regular crossovers often feel like they’ve been designed by committee – the Formentor actually has character.
Maintaining your Formentor with genuine parts keeps it working as Cupra intended. Performance models generate more heat and stress than standard crossovers, so components need to handle those extra demands properly.
