Question 1

What gearbox does an automatic Cupra Formentor have?

Accepted Answer

A DSG dual-clutch automatic, with seven speeds on the petrol versions and six on the e-Hybrid. Only the 150PS 1.5 TSI was also offered with a manual.

Question 2

What should I check on a Cupra Formentor's DSG gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Drive it from cold and manoeuvre slowly: judder or hesitation can point to the clutches or the mechatronic unit. On a 2.0 TSI or VZ5, ask whether the gearbox oil was changed when the service schedule asked.

Question 3

Is the Cupra Formentor e-Hybrid an automatic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every e-Hybrid pairs its 1.4 or, from 2024, 1.5 petrol engine and electric motor with a six-speed DSG. It drives the front wheels and can cover short trips on electricity alone.

Question 4

Which automatic Cupra Formentor has four-wheel drive?

Accepted Answer

The 2.0 TSI VZ, with 310PS before the 2024 facelift and 333PS after, and the five-cylinder VZ5 both have 4Drive. Every 1.5 TSI, eTSI and e-Hybrid drives the front wheels.

Question 5

Which new Cupra Formentor versions are automatic?

Accepted Answer

All but the 150PS 1.5 TSI: the 150PS eTSI mild hybrid, the 1.5 e-Hybrid with 204 or 272PS, the 333PS 2.0 TSI and the 390PS VZ5, the last two with 4Drive.
