Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Ford Kuga
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Ford Kuga gives you a raised view, but in the Cupra Formentor you can set the seat to go pretty low, and you should go elsewhere if you want a high-up driving position. At a cruise, the Kuga has almost no tyre roar, whereas there is rather a lot of road noise from the Formentor's wide tyres. Both cars are annoying when adjusting cabin temperature on the move, as the Formentor has touch-sensitive climate controls that are annoying to use and the Kuga has screen-based heater controls that are fiddly on the go. If luggage space matters, the Kuga has a bigger boot than the Formentor.
