In the animal kingdom, sitting at the top of the food chain as the apex species is a title shared by very few creatures. Those species reaching the top have adapted to their environment and their prey, with their optimal characteristics developed generation by generation through evolution. Smarter, sleeker, and stealthier over time. And the same goes in the wild world of cars. CUPRA knows this. With the Formentor it already has an apex species, and one of the best-selling compact SUVs in Europe. How do you keep it there? You evolve…

CUPRA Formentor: The Ultimate Evolution
Article continues below
The all-new CUPRA Formentor is an even sharper, more stylish evolution of its predecessor – featuring a new hybrid powertrain, updated technology, new materials, and styling inspired by nature’s definitive predator. The shark-nose design is unmistakable – an instantly recognisable feature of the brand’s new visual DNA.
It contributes to a powerful silhouette, bookended at the rear by an LED lightbar including an illuminated CUPRA badge, and at the front by triangular Matrix LED headlights for a gaze as piercing as a great white’s. Colour choices include sophisticated matts and metallics – with a shark-line sheen by day, and muted gleam by night, reflecting urban streetlamps like moonlight on moody waters. Sharks have impressive vision – in clear water, they can see almost 10 times better than humans. As their eyes are on either side of their heads, many sharks can see an almost 360° view of their surroundings. Top View Camera in the VZx variant provides a comprehensive 360-degree top-down view of the new CUPRA Formentor.
The pallet is completed with wheel choices including 19-inch Hailstorm Copper alloys, combining night-sky black with bronze accents*.
The evolution continues inside, with the optional, tech-infused CUP bucket seats, wraparound LED lighting and smart tech to give the new Formentor the streetwise edge of another apex species – the urban fox. Foxes can make up to 20 distinctive sounds and are able to identify family members, resolve disagreements and communicate information about food through their cackles and whimpers. Slipping through the streets, the Formentor is equally alert, senses fine-tuned, scanning its surroundings with features such as Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control and Emergency Assist – always alert to danger… and opportunities.
Opportunities to display its agility when the road opens up – changing direction in the blink of an eye thanks to Torque Splitter Technology, Dynamic Chassis Control and All-Wheel-Drive for complete control. It’s a virtuoso of precision, using its power and energy with the intelligence of one of the world’s fastest and most agile hunters – the peregrine falcon, a master of its natural environment.
And then, when the opportunity comes, unleashing its performance. The all-new Formentor range includes a new generation of plug-in hybrid, delivering up to 272PS with more than 70 miles of all-electric range**.
Style. Street creds. Performance. And the spirit of the planet’s ultimate apex species. This is the all-new CUPRA Formentor. Welcome to the irresistible, unstoppable force of evolution…
