AI generated from our expert reviews

If you are deciding between these two sporty SUVs, both bring signature styling with copper-coloured interior accents, though each also features awkward touch-sensitive climate sliders below the touchscreen. Both ranges see their luggage capacity shrink when you choose a plug-in hybrid model to make room for underfloor batteries. If towing capacity matters to you, the Cupra Terramar can tow heavier trailers than the Cupra Formentor. Out on the motorway at legal speeds, the Terramar keeps wind and tyre noise well-contained, whereas you will notice rather a lot of road noise coming from the Formentor's wide tyres.
