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. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-25: Cupra Australia announces Formentor VZ5 ABT Edition Cupra Australia has revealed the 2027 Formentor VZ5 Custom Cupra by ABT Edition, a limited-run performance model featuring German tuning enhancements and a 287kW five-cylinder engine. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cupra-australia-announces-formentor-vz5-abt-edition ### 2026-08-06: Cupra Formentor VZ5 limited-edition SUV unveiled with 390 hp Cupra launches the Formentor VZ5, a limited‑edition 4,000‑unit SUV with a 390 hp 2.5 L engine, 0‑100 km/h in 4.2 s, priced at €69,000. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cupra-formentor-vz5-limited-edition-suv-unveiled-with-390-hp ### 2026-07-14: Cupra Formentor eHybrid long‑term fuel consumption test shows low fuel use Cupra Formentor eHybrid’s long‑term test in the Czech Republic recorded a combined 1.4 L/100 km fuel use, dropping to 0.38 L/100 km in electric‑only mode. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cupra-formentor-ehybrid-longterm-fuel-consumption-test-shows-low-fuel-use --- Cite as: Cupra Formentor model updates.
