CUPRA Formentor SUV (2020 - )

Having flown the Seat nest, the Cupra sub-brand launched with its high-performance version of the Ateca just a couple of years ago but this new Formentor is its first all-new model and is based on the very latest Volkswagen Golf foundations. The result is a desirable high-performance crossover that compares favourably with the equivalently priced VW T-Roc R and Audi SQ2 while undercutting the Mercedes-AMG GLA35 and BMW X2 M35i it also competes with. If the running costs look a bit steep for the 310 horsepower petrol, try the plug-in version, with its 34-mile electric-only range.

Area of interest:

The Cupra Formentor is available as a high-performance model powered by a 310 horsepower petrol engine, or, more recently, a plug-in hybrid version, which offers better monthly outgoings, especially for fleet drivers, with its 11 per cent Benefit In Kind (BIK) rating. Real-world fuel consumption of the petrol model in our hands didn’t better 30mpg, and it’s best considered an indulgence and something of a statement car. Good news? It’s a winner on both scores, turning heads and impressing everyone, even those who don’t recognise the badge. It’s also usefully cheaper to buy than the equivalently powerful Mercedes-AMG GLA35 and BMW X2 M35i while appearing considerably more exotic.
