Question 1

What engines does the new Cupra Formentor have?

Accepted Answer

A 150PS 1.5 TSI, the same engine as a 150PS eTSI mild hybrid, the 1.5 e-Hybrid plug-in with 204 or 272PS, a 333PS 2.0 TSI and the 390PS 2.5-litre five-cylinder of the VZ5. The two most powerful have 4Drive all-wheel drive.

Question 2

What do the new Cupra Formentor trims add?

Accepted Answer

V1 is the starting point and V2 adds more equipment, both with the 1.5 engines. VZ is the sporty top trim, paired with the 272PS e-Hybrid and the 333PS 2.0 TSI, and VZ5 is the five-cylinder flagship.

Question 3

Is the new Cupra Formentor available with a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Only the 150PS 1.5 TSI comes with a manual. The eTSI and the 2.0 and 2.5 TSI use a DSG dual-clutch automatic, and the e-Hybrid has its own DSG too.

Question 4

How much is road tax on a new Cupra Formentor?

Accepted Answer

The first year is set by CO₂, so the e-Hybrid pays a far lower first-year rate than the petrol versions. From the second year it pays £200 a year, plus a £440 supplement in years 2 to 6 if the list price is over £40,000.

Question 5

Should I buy a new or a used Cupra Formentor?

Accepted Answer

A new Formentor has the full factory warranty and the 1.5 e-Hybrid, which has a much longer electric range than the 1.4 e-Hybrid of earlier cars. A used one costs less, as a new car loses much of its value in its first years.
