Sydney, 15-02-2022 – CUPRA Australia today shares specification of its forthcoming Formentor range of dynamic crossovers that includes a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
The Formentor comes to Australia in July with a line-up that is unique in both its performance focus and stylised design.
Designation of the four variants mirrors those of the Leon range that was shared last week, though with the availability of all-wheel-drive in two Formentor versions.
These are the Formentor V 4Drive; Formentor VZ; Formentor VZe and Formentor VZx 4Drive.
CUPRA Australia's Head of Product and Planning, Jeff Shafer, said: "While the Formentor is clearly related to the Leon and Ateca in a technical sense, visually it is also the 'most CUPRA' of the conventional CUPRAS. This has in no small way contributed to the Formentor comprising almost two-thirds of total CUPRA sales.
"As with the Leon and Ateca, the highest feasible level of standard specification has been our objective."
Pricing will be confirmed shortly.
All CUPRAs are subject to five year, unlimited kilometre warranty.

CUPRA is an unconventional challenger brand based on stimulating style and contemporary performance that inspires the world from Barcelona with progressive cars and experiences. Launched in 2018 as a stand-alone brand, CUPRA has its own corporate headquarters and a racing car workshop in Martorell (Barcelona), in addition to a network of specialized points of sale around the world.
In 2020, the brand maintained its upward trend with an 11% growth and 27,400 vehicles sold, thanks to the strong performance of the CUPRA Ateca and the CUPRA Leon as well as the market entry of the CUPRA Formentor, the first model uniquely designed and developed for the brand. In 2021, CUPRA aims to prove that electrification and sportiness are a perfect match with the launch of the plug-in hybrid versions of the CUPRA Formentor and its first 100% electric model, the CUPRA Born.
CUPRA won this year the first electric touring car competition PURE ETCR and participates in the off-road electric SUV's competition Extreme E. Moreover, it is also FC Barcelona's official automotive and mobility partner and World Padel Tour's premium sponsor. The CUPRA Tribe is made up of a team of ambassadors who share the brand values, such as the German goalkeeper Marc ter Stegen, the Swedish driver Mattias Ekström and eight of the best padel players in the world, among others.
