Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Lexus LBX
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Cupra Formentor is longer and more powerful across its range than the Lexus LBX, and it can tow more as well. On twisty roads, the Formentor stays absolutely flat when you corner fast in Sport mode, whereas the LBX suffers from quite a lot of body lean in bends. In the back, the Formentor provides plenty of headroom and really generous legroom even for tall adults, but rear-seat passengers in the LBX do not get much headroom or legroom. Fitting a child seat brings another contrast: the Formentor's rear doors open just about wide enough to install a really bulky child seat without contorting too much, while the LBX's rear doors are not particularly wide and a bulky child seat pushes up against those in the front.
