Cupra representatives say that Formentor is a crossover created from scratch, but … the creators are cunning, and nothing more. It is clear that the new one has appeared out of nowhere and relies on the modern car of Volkswagen AG.

However, the exterior design of the body of the new Formentor Cupra hybrid crossover is so bright, aggressive and temperamental that it is a delight from the appearance of the car.
