The Cupra Formentor is the first model from a new performance manufacturer. You may have seen the Cupra name associated with SEAT, but now it has become its very own brand. Upmarket and stylish, we think it's a name that's going to become very well known over the next few years.
The Formentor looks great. Sloping, angled rooflines and sharp creases give this crowd-pleaser a sporty edge that's guaranteed to stand out. As well as looks, it has performance to match and an impressive amount of space inside. It's a car that's been designed to tick many boxes.
Even the basic model performs and drives well. It benefits from firm suspension that means it hugs the corners like it's on rails. The MacPherson strut front end provides even more grip and you'll feel stable and secure on the road especially considering its size.
The ride is just right firm but not harsh. Handling is good with light and responsive steering.
If your top priority is good fuel consumption, consider the plug-in hybrids.
Just in case you're not entirely convinced by this stunning car's exterior alone, taking a look inside the cabin is almost certain to win you over. You'll find a plush, well-built cockpit and enough room for five. Cupra's trademark styling touch is copper detailing. The badges and wheels have a metallic tinge, as does the classy interior.
It's a car that looks good (really good), drives well, has plenty of space and feels great. If you're looking for a car in this class, make sure you don't overlook the Cupra Formentor Estate.
