This coupe-hatchback-SUV mashup could be yours from £235 per month

If your ideal car combines the practicality of a family SUV with the sporty feel of a performance hatchback, this is exactly the thing for you. The Cupra Formentor takes much of the engaging ride and handling characteristics of the smaller Leon, but adds extra lashings of space and flexibility to create an even more capable all-rounder.

Remember, you can lease a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.

Lease a Cupra Formentor from £235 a month*

You can lease a Cupra Formentor from £236.98 a month (initial payment: £3,193.75) on a 24-month, 5,000-miles-per-year deal through Carwow. And that money doesn’t just get you a base model; it pays for the mid-range V2 model with the 1.5-litre petrol engine, alloy wheels and a reversing camera, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technology, three-zone climate control and parking sensors at the front and rear.

Why should you consider the Cupra Formentor?

As Cupra’s smallest SUV, sitting beneath the Ateca and the Terramar in the Spanish brand’s range, the Formentor is all about combining the qualities of performance hatchbacks with the practicality of an SUV. And it does exactly that with its impressive handling and SUV styling, although it still isn’t the most spacious SUV on the road.

Nevertheless, while hybrid examples lose a bit of boot space, petrol-powered versions offer a sensible amount of space in there, and there’s enough room in the back for two adults to get comfy. There’s a choice of different engines too, ranging from the efficient plug-in hybrids to the high-performance 2.0-litre petrol options. The most powerful versions turn the Formentor into a seriously quick car.

But even the more mundane models are sporty enough. Because you sit lower in the Formentor than you might in some other SUVs, the car handles more like a hatchback. Body roll in corners is kept to a minimum, and the steering is as good as in the lower and ostensibly sportier Leon. The ride is firm as a result, but it’s hardly uncomfortable, and the rewards on a twisty road make that a price well worth paying.

Cupra Formentor alternatives

Still not convinced? Here are some other options for you to consider:

• Mazda CX-30: Good fun to drive and quite nicely appointed inside, but space is tight inside.
• Skoda Kamiq: Very practical and quite easy on the eye, but hardly exciting on the road.
• Volkswagen T-Roc: This VW is comfortable, well-made and handsome, but more safe than special.
