Cupra Formentor (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Attention-grabbing looks	Not cheap
Surprisingly practical given its shape	Entry versions not that well kitted
Enjoyable to drive	Firm ride on basic passive suspension

Quick Summary

The Cupra Formentor (2020-present) is a stylish compact SUV that combines bold, attention-grabbing design with genuine practicality and performance. Despite its rakish coupe-like roofline, it offers surprising interior space with comfortable rear legroom and boot capacity ranging from 345 to 450 litres depending on the powertrain. The cabin feels well-built and sophisticated, with soft-touch surfaces and quality materials throughout, though some harder panels in lower areas prevent it from matching premium rivals like Audi and BMW.

The Formentor's real appeal lies in its driving dynamics and powertrain variety. Entry-level 1.5-litre petrol engines deliver adequate performance, whilst mid-range 2.0-litre options provide more spirited driving. The range-topping 328bhp 2.0-litre with four-wheel drive offers hot-hatch-rivalling pace and 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds. Plug-in hybrid versions provide up to 74 miles of electric-only range on newer models. V-trimmed cars feature firm passive suspension, whilst VZ models benefit from adaptive suspension that balances sportiness with comfort. Fuel economy ranges from 33 to 45 mpg on petrol versions, with plug-in hybrids offering significant savings if regularly charged.

Best for: Style-conscious buyers seeking a practical family SUV with genuine performance credentials, those wanting a sporty alternative to conservative compact SUV designs, and drivers interested in plug-in hybrid technology.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising maximum interior space over styling, or drivers wanting a soft, comfortable ride as standard on all trims.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Formentor if: You value distinctive styling, seek a practical family SUV with genuine performance, or want a sporty alternative to conservative compact SUV designs.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tight budget, prioritise maximum interior space, or require a soft, comfortable ride as standard on all trims.

Competitive Position: The Cupra Formentor is a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment, offering striking design and engaging driving dynamics that set it apart from more conservative rivals. Whilst the Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40 offer stronger premium credentials and user ratings, the Formentor delivers comparable expert ratings with more distinctive styling and sportier character. The Jaguar E-Pace offers better value, but the Formentor's combination of practicality, performance options, and modern technology makes it an excellent choice for buyers seeking something different. Its higher price reflects its aspirational positioning, but strong resale values and diverse powertrain options provide good long-term value for the right buyer.
