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.
