This SUV Is Like A Golf GTI Wagon! (Cupra Formentor VZ 2023 Review)

Full review of the 2023 Cupra Formentor VZ, a front-wheel drive sports SUV with the same 180kW (241 hp) engine as the Golf GTI and Octavia RS.

Do you really need AWD? The Cupra Formentor VZ suggests not. In our testing, the FWD 180kW Cupra Formentor VZ managed to sprint from 0-100 in just 5.98sec - compare that to 6.73sec for the AWD 140kW V model or 4.72sec for the AWD 228kW VZx. What do you think?

The Formentor competes with the Volkswagen Tiguan, Skoda Karoq, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson and other small to midsize SUVs.

It costs $58,490 driveaway for 2023.

As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Cupra Formentor.
