What is it?



This is it, this is the first all CUPRA model produced by SEAT’s sub-brand. A cross between a traditional hatchback and an SUV results in the CUV, or Crossover Utility Vehicle category. A category that is expected to continue grow over the coming years. CUPRA call this a Coupe Crossover.



We’ve driven it for the first time, and in the UK on a day visit to SEAT/CUPRA HQ alongside the new CUPRA Leon (review to follow). Due to COVID we’re behind the other reviewers in Spain and SEAT/CUPRA have kindly managed to get this left-hand drive model over to the UK for us to drive, for the moment the only production version Formentor in the country. The weather was awful but there were a few gaps in the rain during the time we had with the car.

I don't think I'd be in a Cupra now if I didn't look at the Ateca spec sheet and think "wow that has a lot as standard". The dealer told me they had a C&S in stock and that was that. I was looking at Tiguans and Karoq's. Salesmen were reading out what each one had and didn't have, and they were all missing something obvious!

Could you share a few more words about the ride quality on not-so-perfect roads?

You will be able to spec it. At least that's how it is here in Denmark so they haven't removed the feature (y)
About to buy my first ever Cupra (Formentor VZ 310 4x4 2022), it comes without the wireless charging pad - is it possible to buy and have such system installed, and who/what will it cost ? also - is it possible to switch off the sound actuator ?

Wireless charging causes my iPhone to get very hot, I only use cable now.
