The CUPRA Formentor VZ - "In your face nicely"

Driven Car Guide says: "If you had to wrap CUPRA's changes to the Formentor VZ into one word, it could be "agression". It's technically just a facelift (part of a range-wide refresh), but it's a pretty effective one.

An icon of automotive design

The CUPRA Formentor was the first model designed specifically for the CUPRA brand. Embracing a sport coupé-style profile, since launch it has quickly cemented itself as a best selling icon of automotive design, thanks to its provocative styling and advanced technology.

The next generation 2025 Formentor has returned with a sharper presence, aggressive detailing, like the shark nose front, triangular matrix-LED headlights, illuminated rear CUPRA logo and a cinematic interior outfitted with sustainable materials and a premium Sennheiser audio system.

Beneath its striking exterior, the Formentor hides serious substance. Built on the Volkswagen Group’s advanced architecture, it offers dynamic powertrains, refined handling, and the versatility to perform on both urban streets and winding backroads. Available with multiple engine options, including plug-in hybrid technology, it combines efficiency with uncompromising performance.

Greg Murphy chose the CUPRA Formentor to add his home lineup for a reason. Performance, design, and individuality, all in one striking package.

"There’s something really unique about the Formentor; it’s not quite an SUV and it’s not quite a hatch. It sits in this sweet spot where it gives you the best of both worlds. The design caught my attention first. It’s bold and different, not your typical lookalike SUV. Cupra’s done a great job creating a vehicle that stands out."

"I’ve always appreciated vehicles that bring back the enjoyment of driving and the Formentor does just that. The design is aggressive but not over the top; it makes a statement without shouting. I also love knowing what’s under the skin: the drivetrain comes from the Volkswagen Group family, so you know you’re getting quality and performance. It’s that combination of style and substance that really does it for me."

For those who crave performance wrapped in distinctive design, and a vehicle that can move effortlessly between everyday journeys and moments of pure driving enjoyment, the CUPRA Formentor makes a statement as bold as the people who choose it.
