AI generated from our expert reviews

When choosing between the Cupra Formentor and the Omoda 7, practical needs and passenger space highlight key differences. The Omoda 7 has a bigger boot, but the Cupra Formentor can tow more. Both models offer generous legroom in the back with more than enough space to get comfortable. Even so, three adults can sit across the rear bench of the Omoda 7 with little fuss, whereas you will not want to squeeze a third adult onto the narrow, hard centre rear seat of the Formentor unless you have to. Both cars also suffer from infotainment software that requires patience, as the menus in the Formentor take some learning, and those in the Omoda 7 can be a faff to navigate.
