A new hybrid engine is now available for the Cupra Formentor, which lowers the starting price of the plug-in version of the performance-oriented SUV.
This alternative to the Audi Q3 Sportback and BMW X4 now starts from £35,770, with deliveries imminent.
New Cupra Formentor e-Hybrid engine
This new ‘e-Hybrid’ engine uses a 1.4-litre petrol engine linked up to an electric motor for a total power output of 204hp. This is sent to the front wheels through a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
That’ll send the Cupra Formentor from 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and a 127mph top speed. Cupra says it’ll return 235.4mpg — though you’ll have to plug it in very often to manage that — while also being capable of 37 miles on electricity only.
New 190hp and 245hp ‘4Drive’ all-wheel-drive versions of the Cupra Formentor are now available too. These are both based on a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and use the same DSG gearbox as the e-Hybrid.
New Cupra Formentor e-Hybrid specs
You can have the Cupra Formentor e-Hybrid in V1 and V2 trims.
V1 cars get 18-inch wheels, LED headlights and scrolling indicators as standard exterior bits, with the interior featuring a 12-inch infotainment system and a digital driver’s display. There’s also three-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control and rear parking sensors.
Upgrading to V2 sees 19-inch alloy wheels added, along with heated Nappa leather front seats, a reversing camera and a heated steering wheel.
New Cupra Formentor e-Hybrid price and release date
