Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Volkswagen T-Roc
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Volkswagen T-Roc has a bigger boot than the Cupra Formentor. Inside, both cars give four six-foot adults space to travel in comfort, but carrying a third adult in the back is a squeeze on a narrow, hard centre seat. Each car also features touch-sensitive climate sliders beneath the infotainment display, which are annoying and a faff to use when you are on the move. When you get up to speed on the motorway, the two diverge on refinement: the Formentor suffers from rather a lot of road noise from its wide tyres, whereas the T-Roc remains extremely quiet with little road, wind or engine noise.
