The Cupra Formentor is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment) manufactured by the Spanish car manufacturer SEAT under their Cupra performance-oriented sub-brand.[4] Marketed as a coupé SUV, it is the first car designed specifically for the sub-brand. The production version was revealed in March 2020 after it was postponed due to the cancellation of the Geneva Motor Show.[5] It was previewed as a near-production concept vehicle at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.[6] It is named after Formentor peninsula on the Spanish island of Majorca.[7] Production of the Formentor started in late September 2020.

The Formentor is available with a 245 PS (180 kW; 242 hp) 1.4-litre plug-in hybrid, a 2.0-litre turbo generating 310 PS (228 kW; 306 hp) available for VZ models (derived from the Spanish word veloz, meaning "fast"), and a range-topping VZ5 model with 2.5-litre turbo generating 390 PS (287 kW; 385 hp).[8][9][10] The plug-in hybrid combination delivers an approximate range of 50 km (31 mi) with a full-electric mode.[11] All versions come with a 7-speed DSG transmission.[12]
