Car Details
The Cupra Formentor VZ5 is a unique and exciting proposition in the performance crossover market. The legendary Audi-derived 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo engine delivers a distinctive warble that no other engine in the segment can replicate, and 385 horsepower through the 4Drive AWD system launches the Formentor to 62 mph in just 4.2 seconds. The chassis is well-sorted with adaptive dampers and Akebono brakes providing genuine sporting confidence, while the copper-accented interior with bucket seats creates a cockpit that feels special. The dual-clutch transmission shifts quickly and smoothly. Where the VZ5 faces challenges is brand recognition -- Cupra remains relatively unknown outside of Europe, and dealership networks are limited. The infotainment system borrowed from Volkswagen Group can be frustrating to navigate. As a driving experience, however, the Formentor VZ5 is thoroughly engaging and offers a character that the more clinical Audi RS Q3 simply cannot match.
