The Cupra brand’s first standalone model, the Formentor SUV coupe, will arrive in European dealerships this autumn.

Customers who want to be among the first to drive Cupra’s flagship model will be able to place advance orders from July. Production of the Formentor, named after the landmark cape on the island of Mallorca, will kick off this summer on line 2 at the Martorell plant near Barcelona.

At launch, the Cupra Formentor will be available with a 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder petrol unit rated at 310 PS (306 HP) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque, and it will come with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission and 4Drive AWD system as standard.

From 2021, the Formentor will also offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain sourced from the new Cupra Leon, combining a 150 PS (148 HP) 1.4-liter TSI petrol engine with a 115 PS (113 HP) electric motor and a 13 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

Badged Formentor eHybrid, the more eco-friendly model will offer a total of 245 PS (242 HP) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque, lower fuel consumption than the 2.0 TSI model, and an all-electric range of 50 km (31 miles). The Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) system will be standard on the Formentor, offering drivers the choice of Comfort, Sport, Cupra and Individual drive modes.

The Formentor also integrates the latest connectivity and safety technology, including a new infotainment system with a 12-inch screen and driver aids like Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, and Exit Assist.

Following the inauguration of the Cupra Garage and the presentation of the Cupra Leon, the Formentor signals the beginning of an exciting stage and will become a pillar of the brand,” Cupra CEO Wayne Griffiths said.
