Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Volvo XC60
AI generated from our expert reviews
On country roads, flicking the Cupra Formentor into Sport mode lets you corner really fast while the car stays absolutely flat, whereas pushing the Volvo XC60 hard into a corner makes the body lean noticeably. In the back, the XC60's centre seat offers enough room for three adults to sit next to each other, but you will not want to squeeze a third adult onto the Formentor's narrow, hard centre rear seat unless you have to. When you need to tow, the Volvo can haul heavier loads than the Cupra. Inside, both cars present irritations on the move: the Formentor's touch-sensitive climate controls are annoying to use, while most climate controls in the XC60 are on the main screen and can be a bit fiddly to use.
