Overview

The 2026 CUPRA Formentor S is the new entry point to the range, making the Formentor's sharp European styling and fun-to-drive character far more affordable. It uses a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol with 48V mild-hybrid assistance for 110kW and 250Nm, driving the front wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch auto, and sips a claimed 5.5L/100km. From $49,990 before on-road costs it undercuts the rest of the line-up by thousands while keeping the same cabin tech and 5-star safety. A smart pick if you want the look and feel without the performance-variant price.

5-star (2025)

The 2026 CUPRA Formentor S is the new entry point to the range, making the Formentor's sharp European styling and fun-to-drive character far more affordable. It uses a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol with 48V mild-hybrid assistance for 110kW and 250Nm, driving the front wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch auto, and sips a claimed 5.5L/100km. From $49,990 before on-road costs it undercuts the rest of the line-up by thousands while keeping the same cabin tech and 5-star safety. A smart pick if you want the look and feel without the performance-variant price.

There's a 420-litre boot behind the back seats of the 2026 CUPRA Formentor V, a 5-seat petrol SUV with an automatic and drive to all four wheels. It's priced at $51,990 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Claimed fuel use is 7L/100km on the combined cycle, and it carries a 55-litre fuel tank. It can tow 1,600kg braked. The limitation is that it runs on petrol only with no electric help, so it suits a small family or couple who want a 5-seater with all-wheel drive and a decent tow rating.

The 2026 CUPRA Formentor VZx is a five-seat petrol SUV with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox, priced at $65,790 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Its engine makes 245kW and 420Nm, and the claimed 0-100km/h time is 4.8 seconds. Fuel use is 8.3L/100km on the combined cycle from a 55-litre fuel tank, and the boot holds 420 litres with the seats up. Braked towing is rated at 1,700kg. It suits someone who wants a quick five-seater with AWD and is fine trading some boot room for it.

The 2026 CUPRA Formentor VZe is the plug-in hybrid of the range, and the 2026 update transforms it. CUPRA's second-generation e-Hybrid system now makes 200kW combined and pairs a much bigger 20kWh battery with up to 114km of WLTP electric-only range, so most commutes can run on cheap home charging with petrol back-up for longer trips. Official combined fuel use drops to 1.7L/100km and it gains DC fast-charging for the first time. From $68,990 before on-road costs, it is the efficiency pick of the Formentor line-up.

The 2026 CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is the halo of the range and a bit of a cult car: it brings back the Audi-sourced 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder, here making 287kW and 480Nm with that trademark warbling exhaust note. All-wheel drive and a torque-vectoring setup fire it to 100km/h in around 4.2 seconds. It is sold in very limited numbers in Australia and priced from $94,990 before on-road costs, so it is as much a collector's CUPRA as a daily driver. Thirsty at a claimed 9.3L/100km, but that five-cylinder character is the whole point.

CUPRA Australia quoted 6.8 seconds to 100 km/h, 6.9 L/100km and 159 g/km on ADR 81/02, and a 1,578 kg tare mass - the lightest Formentor in the range.
