Compare the Cupra Formentor vs SEAT Leon
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Cupra Formentor and the SEAT Leon offer plenty of space in the back, ensuring adults will be comfortable on journeys. However, how they accommodate a third passenger differs: while the Leon provides loads of room even in its middle rear seat, the Formentor has a narrow, hard centre rear seat that you will not want to squeeze an adult onto unless you have to. Up front, you will encounter similar frustrations with cabin controls in both cars. Adjusting temperature via touch-sensitive sliders on or beneath the central touchscreen proves annoying on the move in the Formentor and tricky to use when driving in the Leon.
