The model
Read full reviewThe Cupra Formentor doesn't feel as playful as the closely related Volkswagen T-Roc R, but it’s every bit as fast in its similarly priced, range-topping form, plus it handles with composure and has a much nicer interior. In addition, cheaper, less powerful versions of the Formentor offer the same sporty looks as the flagship model – something that isn’t the case with lesser T-Rocs. Just bear in mind that you can have our 2021 Sports SUV of the Year, the Ford Puma ST, for not much more than the cheapest Formentor.

The engine
See full engine specsThe flagship Formentor engine feels properly rapid when it wakes up at around 2000rpm. Indeed, if you use launch control to maximise this model’s four-wheel drive traction, it will ping you from rest to 62mph in a smidge under five seconds – about the same time, give or take, as the BMW X2 M35i and Volkswagen T-Roc R.
