Cupra unveils Formentor concept car

With a dazzling exterior design that instantly captures the attention, an interior that cocoons the driver and passengers whilst integrating the latest technologies and a powertrain that provides inimitable performance, the Cupra Formentor is a window into the future of the high-performance brand.

The two-tone body is reminiscent of a robust all-terrain vehicle, but the Cupra Formentor's design uses the aesthetic technique to lighten the vehicle's silhouette.

But unlike the toughened, rough finish on a traditional SUV, the Cupra Formentor uses a seamless design, greatly amplifying the vehicle's exterior quality.

The feeling of high quality is strengthened with the integration of the rear infinite light concept that magnifies the distinctive look of the rear of the vehicle, while the overall design is heightened by the matt petrol blue exclusive exterior colour.

The Cupra Formentor's expressive exterior design is matched by its high quality interior. The vehicle's cabin provides a sense of modernity and sportiness with a unique take on the feel of the Cupra brand.

From the moment the door is opened and the unique welcome light is projected, to the Cupra steering wheel and leather-clad bucket seats, the Cupra Formentor's occupants are cocooned in a high-end interior that wraps around the driver and their passengers.

The dashboard seemingly floats, providing a horizontal line from each door across the front of the cabin, helping maximise the vehicle's expressiveness.

The use of dark chrome and black high gloss accents throughout the interior aid the cabin's premium feel. The carbon-backed sports bucket seats give a sense of lightness while also highlighting the performance credentials of the Cupra Formentor as the driver sits lower, in a more ergonomic position.

Technology is at the forefront inside the vehicle with the integration of the digital cockpit putting all the necessary driving information right in front of the driver, and a 10-inch panoramic floating navigation system providing a near endless source of functionality and connectivity to the occupants.

Mixing the technology of an advanced high-performance plug-in hybrid petrol engine with a high power output and the high-torque characteristics of an electric motor allows the Cupra Formentor to surpass the performance expectations of the driver.

Linked to a dual-clutch DSG transmission the total output of 242bhp is delivered seamlessly to the wheels. The intelligent DCC chassis setup and differential lock mean that the vehicle performs majestically no matter what the driving conditions or driving style as the driver directs the car with its progressive steering.
