Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Volvo EX30
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Cupra Formentor is longer than the Volvo EX30 and offers a bigger boot. In the back, the Formentor provides generous legroom even for tall adults, whereas kneeroom in the EX30 is tight, leaving barely enough space for a six-footer to sit behind another six-footer. On twisty roads, switching the Cupra into Sport mode allows you to corner really fast while the car stays absolutely flat. By contrast, if you try to drive the Volvo like a sports car, its tyres struggle for grip and the body leans quite a bit, which does not inspire much confidence. Out on the motorway, the EX30 has just a little wind and tyre noise to contend with that is nothing to complain about, whereas the Formentor generates rather a lot of road noise from its wide tyres.
