CUPRA Formentor overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The updated exterior highlights CUPRA’s new styling direction, featuring a shark-nose front end, larger air intakes, and a new grille design. Triangular matrix LED headlights give the crossover a distinct light signature. At the rear, the Formentor features full-width taillights that wrap around the tailgate, with an illuminated CUPRA logo integrated into the center of the light bar. Depending on the chosen trim, the vehicle sits on 18-inch or 19-inch alloy wheels, with the performance-oriented VZ model receiving larger wheels and sportier front and rear bumpers.
Interior
Inside, the cabin features a revised dashboard design with 3D textures, copper-colored accents, and updated materials. Front occupants are accommodated in sport seats or bucket seats upholstered in eco-friendly textiles, microfibers made from recycled materials, or synthetic leather. A 12.9-inch touchscreen houses the central infotainment system, which includes climate control integrations and customizable widgets. A 12-speaker audio system developed with Sennheiser is available, utilizing audio software for enhanced sound clarity. Passenger comfort is supported by dual-zone or three-zone climate control, and rear passengers benefit from a fold-down center armrest.
Performance
The Formentor offers a diverse range of powertrains. The entry-level option is a 1.5-liter TSI gasoline engine making 150 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. A 1.5-liter eTSI mild-hybrid variant uses a 48-volt system and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DSG) for improved fuel economy. For long-distance driving, a 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine delivers 150 horsepower through a seven-speed DSG. The plug-in hybrid e-HYBRID models pair a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor to produce either 204 or 272 horsepower, offering up to 125 kilometers of electric-only range. At the top of the range, the performance-focused VZ features a 2.0-liter TFSI engine producing 333 horsepower, sent to all four wheels via a seven-speed DSG and VAG's 4Drive all-wheel-drive system.
Practicality
As a compact SUV, the Formentor balances a sporty profile with practical packaging. It seats five passengers and features a 450-liter trunk space, accommodating luggage or daily groceries. The cabin includes multiple storage options, including a 12V power outlet and a front center armrest with internal storage. Standard Isofix and LATCH anchor points are provided for child seats in the rear outer positions. A turning circle of 11.4 meters ensures reasonable maneuverability in tight city spaces.
Safety and tech
The crossover is equipped with a suite of driver assistance features, including adaptive cruise control that adjusts speed based on GPS coordinates and camera detection. Additional systems include lane-keeping assist, travel assist, forward collision warning, and a system to warn occupants of approaching traffic when exiting the vehicle. Tech amenities include a wireless smartphone charging pad, USB ports, front and rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. In the event of an accident, the integrated eCall system automatically contacts emergency services with key vehicle data.
Buyer notes
When shopping for a 2024 CUPRA Formentor, buyers should carefully evaluate their daily driving needs against the extensive powertrain lineup. The plug-in hybrid options are well-suited for buyers who can charge at home and cover short commutes on electricity. Those seeking maximum performance will want to look at the 333-horsepower VZ model, which comes standard with 19-inch wheels, all-wheel drive, and a sportier chassis tuning. Standard equipment and specific trim availability can vary significantly by regional market, so buyers should verify local specifications.
