Question 1

Which petrol engine should I choose in a used Cupra Formentor?

Accepted Answer

The 150PS 1.5 TSI is the economical choice and drives the front wheels. The 2.0 TSI VZ adds 4Drive and far more pace, at the cost of higher fuel use and insurance.

Question 2

What is the difference between the Cupra Formentor TSI and eTSI?

Accepted Answer

The eTSI is the 1.5 TSI with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and a DSG automatic, both with 150PS. It helps when pulling away and lets the car coast with the engine off, but never drives on electricity alone.

Question 3

Is a petrol Cupra Formentor ULEZ compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. London's ULEZ asks petrol cars for roughly Euro 4, met from about 2006, and the Formentor arrived in 2020. Other cities' clean air zones set their own rules, so check before you drive in.

Question 4

How much is road tax on a used petrol Cupra Formentor?

Accepted Answer

Its CO₂-based first-year rate was paid when new, so a used Formentor pays £200 a year. A £440 supplement applies in years 2 to 6 if the list price was over £40,000, so check it on a VZ or VZ5.

Question 5

Which petrol engines does the new Cupra Formentor have?

Accepted Answer

A 150PS 1.5 TSI with a manual gearbox, the same power as an eTSI mild hybrid with DSG, a 333PS 2.0 TSI VZ and the 390PS 2.5 TSI VZ5, the last two with 4Drive.
