Cupra Formentor model updates

Overview

In July 2026 a Czech test of the Cupra Formentor eHybrid plug‑in hybrid recorded very low fuel consumption, with a combined 1.4 L/100 km over a 210‑km mixed‑mode drive and as little as 0.38 L/100 km in pure electric mode. The test highlighted the efficiency of both the 150 kW and the sport‑tuned 200 kW powertrains.

A few weeks later, in early August 2026, Cupra unveiled the Formentor VZ5, a limited‑edition SUV limited to 4,000 units worldwide. The VZ5 is powered by a 2.5 L TSI five‑cylinder engine delivering 390 hp, accelerates from 0‑100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, and features aggressive styling, upgraded brakes, and a driver‑focused interior. The launch shifts the focus from fuel‑efficiency testing to a high‑performance, premium variant of the same model line.
