AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Cupra Formentor and the Skoda Elroq provide comfortable seats and plenty of adjustment for you to settle into. On a good country road, the Cupra Formentor comes into its own, whereas twisty roads are not much fun in the Skoda Elroq, where the steering feels very remote and the electronic safety systems are all quite draconian. The Skoda Elroq also gives you an infotainment screen that is clear and easy to use, while the touchscreen in the Cupra Formentor is not as easy to use as it could be.
