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 6.2L/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.

The 2026 CUPRA Formentor V is a compact performance SUV for buyers who want European styling and a genuinely fun drive without paying for a premium badge. Its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol sends 150kW and 320Nm to all four wheels through a quick-shifting automatic, with a sporty edge to the way it steers and rides. Priced from $57,490 before on-road costs, it slots between the efficient mild-hybrid S and the hotter VZx, and makes a strong everyday pick with a bit of attitude.

The 2026 CUPRA Formentor VZx is the hot petrol flagship of the regular range, now lifted to 245kW and 400Nm from its 2.0-litre turbo with standard all-wheel drive and a new torque-vectoring rear differential for sharper cornering. It keeps everyday usability with a 420-litre boot and five seats. Priced from $69,990 before on-road costs, it sits below the limited 287kW VZ5 five-cylinder, and is a genuine performance SUV that still works as a daily.

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 19.7kWh 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 10.2L/100km, but that five-cylinder character is the whole point.

Mazda CX-5, BMW X3, MG S6 EV and Cupra Formentor All Score Five Stars With ANCAP

ANCAP hands maximum ratings to four family SUVs in a single sweep under its outgoing 2023-25 protocols. The all-new Mazda CX-5 posts a 93 per cent vulnerable road user score, the highest of any car tested in the entire 2023-25 protocol era. The MG S6 EV tops the batch for adult occupant protection at 92 per cent. The updated Cupra Formentor five-star result covers cars built from December 2025 onwards but excludes both the five-cylinder VZ5 and any four-cylinder ordered with the Extreme Package (the Sabelt bucket seats stop the centre airbag from fitting). BMW X3 (petrol G45) also confirmed at five stars, ratings apply to the current on-sale shape. Everything here sits under the older protocols, the tougher 2026 rules kicked in earlier this month and the BMW iX3 has become the first car to clear them.
