2026 Cupra Formentor Price, Specs and Range

What is it?

The Formentor is Cupra's first standalone model, a medium coupe-SUV built on the MQB Evo platform shared with the Golf, Tiguan and Audi Q3. Four powertrains spanning a 140 kW V to a 245 kW VZx, plus a VZ e-Hybrid PHEV.

The lineup runs from V 2.0 TSI at $51,990 plus on-roads, through to VZx 2.0 TSI AWD at $66,990 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.

Interior and Technology

Golf R hardware in a sharper, more distinctive coupe-SUV body. The VZx is properly fast (0 to 100 in 4.9 seconds) and the CUP Bucket seats are best in class.

5-year warranty trails the Korean 7-year norm, and the Cupra dealer footprint is still small (mostly co-located with VW).

Strongest suit on paper: Golf R hardware in a sharper, more distinctive coupe-SUV body. The VZx is properly fast (0 to 100 in 4.9 seconds) and the CUP Bucket seats are best in class.
The trade-off: 5-year warranty trails the Korean 7-year norm, and the Cupra dealer footprint is still small (mostly co-located with VW).
Check before you buy: e-Hybrid boot shrinks from 420 L to about 345 L. Test fit a stroller or weekly shop if the PHEV is on the shortlist.
Best suited to: Hot SUV buyers who want Golf R hardware in a sharper-looking body, plus design-led buyers who want a copper-accented cabin that stands out against grey-wagon rivals.
