Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Kia Sportage
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Cupra Formentor and the Kia Sportage can fit four six-footers in comfort, though the Sportage provides a larger boot. Out on a good country road, the Formentor comes into its own, whereas the Sportage is not very capable on twisty roads. When cruising on the motorway, the Sportage keeps wind and road noise well at bay, but you will hear rather a lot of road noise from the Formentor's wide tyres. Up front, the Sportage features an infotainment setup that is easy to use, while the touchscreen in the Formentor is not as easy to use as it could be.
