Compare the Tesla Model Y vs Cupra Formentor
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Tesla Model Y is longer than the Cupra Formentor, and the two cars offer very different driving positions. You get a high seating position in the Model Y, whereas you sit low in the Formentor rather than in a high-up SUV driving position. In the back, both cars provide generous headroom and legroom for tall adults, although loading a child seat into the rear of the Model Y is easy thanks to enormous, wide-opening doors, while the Formentor’s doors open just about wide enough to fit a bulky seat without contorting too much. When you head onto winding country roads, both models stay reassuringly level, with the Model Y demonstrating a lack of body lean and the Formentor cornering absolutely flat in its Sport driving mode.
