Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Nissan Qashqai
AI generated from our expert reviews
You sit up nice and high in the Nissan Qashqai, whereas you can set the seat to go pretty low in the Cupra Formentor, meaning you should go elsewhere if you want a high-up driving position. Out on a country road, the Formentor comes into its own. You should not expect any fun on a country lane from the Qashqai, though it gives you enough confidence to carry speed through tight corners. In the back, both cars provide generous headroom and their outer seats comfortably accommodate adults. However, neither model is ideal for carrying three adults abreast: the Qashqai's central rear seat is best left for children or teenagers, and the Formentor has a narrow, hard centre seat you will not want to squeeze an adult onto unless you have to.
