The longer Cupra Formentor can tow more than the Renault 4 E-Tech and comes into its own on a good country road, but if you are after twisty road thrills, you should look elsewhere than the Renault. In the back, the Formentor gives you plenty of headroom and really generous legroom even for tall adults, while adults in the Renault will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys. On the motorway, however, the Renault is refined enough that wind and road noise never becomes a problem, whereas there is rather a lot of road noise from the Formentor's wide tyres.
