The model
Read full Cupra Formentor reviewThe Formentor is slightly more expensive and a bit less practical than the Seat Ateca it's based on. In exchange, it offers sharp coupé SUV looks and a smarter interior. It'll still seat four tall adults and has a decent boot, so it's not impractical, it handles well and, if you stick with our favourite 1.5 TSI V1 version, it's well priced and well equipped.
The trim
See full equipmentStep up from V1 to V2 trim, and the wheels grow from 18in to 19in, while other additional kit includes front parking sensors, a rear-view camera, nappa leather upholstery and front sports seats that are electrically operated and heated.
The engine
See full engine specsThis entry-level engine still has plenty of low-down muscle and enough power (148bhp) for reasonably swift progress and 0-62mph in 8.9sec. Given its affordable purchase price and running costs, with an official average of around 45mpg, it's our pick of the range.
