The former sports Seat sub-brand, whose name is an abbreviation of Cup Racing, became a separate car brand two years ago. The Formentor is taller and lower than the Cupra Ateca, but still slightly higher than the usual Leon. The temperature of the two-liter turbocharged engine and the whole machine can be influenced by pressing the second button on the steering wheel. It is responsible for driving modes. In Comfort, the Formentor is really quite comfortable, the slightly stepped-up Sport more closely matches the character of the car, and for a rare tour of the meadow, the crossover is also equipped with Offroad mode.
“Everything or almost everything you see is standard, except for the massive brakes, which have 4 rings everywhere, so the Audi S3 or even the RS3 has participated again, and the braking performance is not missing. But I think that, like the Cupra Ateca at the time, the car stops quite well with the usual brakes. The design succeeded, because the car also addresses when standing still. People watch and explore what it is. The back is very lush, maybe that’s why it’s also called Lamborghin Urus for the people. The roof line is so expressive. One would think that this type of car has little space in the back. Than, the door is wide, and there I also boarded, very normally, there is enough space for an adult. The trunk is no bigger than Golf – but who cares? But dynamics, temperament and character are much more important, ”says Normunds Avotiņš.
The Cupru is increasingly being referred to as the Volkswagen Group’s response to the Alfa Romeo, and this car is clear proof of this. Formentor also has everything that people find desirable in modern cars. Size, ground clearance, design. The presence of power, compatibility with all kinds of telephones, comfort, quality of finish and at a reasonable price.
