2025 CUPRA FORMENTOR REVIEW - UPDATED E-HYBRID PHEV TESTED

EV Channels Review

The updated Cupra Formentor e-HYBRID PHEV impresses with a significant boost in EV driving range, achieving close to 100km in real-world testing, a major draw for those considering the transition to electric. The reviewer highlights the car's stylish design, particularly the new front-end with its triangular headlights and masculine grille, and praises the improved interior usability, especially the larger, more configurable 12.9-inch infotainment system and the handy steering wheel controls for driver aids. The seats are noted as comfortable and supportive. While the driving dynamics are described as fun and engaging with sharp steering, the reviewer also acknowledges the car's refinement in urban settings. A potential drawback mentioned is the boot's cable storage, which appears messy. The reviewer is highly positive about the blend of performance and frugality, calling it one of the best PHEVs driven. The ultimate verdict hinges on the yet-to-be-announced Australian pricing.
