AI generated from our expert reviews

The Cupra Formentor is longer and more powerful than the Toyota Yaris Cross. Up front, both cars give you plenty of seat adjustment to suit drivers of all sizes. In the back, the Formentor offers plenty of headroom even for tall adults because the roof stays flat, whereas headroom in the Yaris Cross will be at a premium for taller adults. When driving on the motorway, wind and road noise in the Yaris Cross is fairly unintrusive, while you will hear rather a lot of road noise from the Formentor’s wide tyres.
