Discover the Cupra Formentor 2025 on the Ideal rent a car Cluj blog
In a world of ever-changing motoring, where innovation and performance are the order of the day, Cupra, the performance sub-brand of the Spanish manufacturer SEAT, continues to surprise and redefine standards and the Ideal rent a car Cluj office announces that the latest example of this philosophy is the new 2025 Cupra Formentor crossover SUV, a vehicle that promises to win the hearts of car enthusiasts around the world.
Cupra Formentor, a compact SUV in the C segment, is the first model designed exclusively for the Cupra sub-brand. It expertly combines the elegance of a coupé with the robustness of an SUV, resulting in a design that exudes dynamism and refinement. In a competitive market, the new Formentor positions itself as a formidable rival to the likes of the BMW X2 and Volkswagen T-Roc.
The 2025 update brings a number of improvements that reinforce the leadership status of the Formentor model. With a revised design that maintains a modern and attractive line, the new Formentor flaunts its sophisticated and aggressive silhouette, thus maintaining its relevance in a highly dynamic segment. In addition, more powerful engines and advanced interior technologies are intended to provide a superior driving experience and an unmatched level of comfort.
The success of its predecessor is indisputable, with the Cupra Formentor being the best-selling SUV in the A-CUV category in Europe, with more than 120,000 units delivered globally last year, an increase of 23% compared to 2022. These impressive results underline the impact and popularity model, being a testament to Cupra's dedication to innovation and excellence. Thus, the new Cupra Formentor 2025 promises to be not only a worthy successor, but also a pioneer that will set new standards in the crossover SUV segment, continuing to inspire and challenge.
The Exterior Design of the New CUPRA Formentor 2025: A Symbiosis of Aesthetics and Performance
The exterior design of the new CUPRA Formentor 2025 reflects a sophisticated and engaging evolution, built on the proportions and details that have made this crossover SUV an outstanding success. Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design in 2021, Formentor now stands out with an even bolder, emotional and sporty style, amplifying its presence on the road.
The front of the new CUPRA Formentor introduces the CUPRA DNA design language, with a distinctive 'shark-nose' bonnet, triangular matrix LED headlights and a large and imposing lower air intake. This strong and determined face integrates the CUPRA logo directly on the hood, above the large front grille, flanked by optional LED headlights that incorporate a signature design - three illuminated triangles framed by another larger triangle. The front design not only adds strength to the expression, but also a sense of width, while the thin air intake slots under the shark nose add technicality and sophistication. The grille mesh is open, providing both form and function essential to a performance car.
The gaze then moves to the side details, where the athletic proportions and dynamic character of the new CUPRA Formentor become even more evident. Its well-balanced volume rests on proportionally sized wheels where the Ideal rent a car Cluj airport company informs you that eight different models of alloy wheels between 18 and 19 inches are available to satisfy all customer wishes. Two side blisters add a sense of movement, and deeply sculpted body sections contribute to the sensual sculpting of the vehicle. The increased sportiness of this high-performance SUV is further highlighted by the side shapes and their relationship to the range of available colors.
At the rear of the new CUPRA Formentor, taillights that run the full width of the car integrate the illuminated logo in the center, while the V-shaped tailgate accentuates the emblem, helping to distinguish the vehicle's appearance from any angle. The CUPRA lighting design continues with the LED taillight lenses, built from three triangular elements, integral to the brand theme. The C-shape of the front is also reflected in the rear, framing the reflectors and giving the impression of width and stability. Finally, the aerodynamic diffuser in the lower section underlines the character of the new CUPRA Formentor.
Customers can choose from a palette of eight different colors, including the new and exclusive Century Bronze Matt and Enceladus Gray Matt. The color palette is completed with Fiord Blue, Midnight Black, Glacial White, Magnetic Tech, Graphene Gray and Magnetic Tech Matt. The new CUPRA Formentor 2025 not only preserves the success of its predecessor, but also amplifies it, redefining design and performance standards in the crossover SUV segment.
The Interior Design of the New CUPRA Formentor 2025: Sportiness, Sustainability and Top Technology
The interior of the new CUPRA Formentor 2025 combines the raw emotion of the exterior design with a cabin that reflects sportiness, sustainability and a varied range of digital technologies and material options. Upon entering the car, the driver and passengers are greeted with a welcome ceremony that projects the CUPRA logo onto the floor and an illuminated threshold.
Once inside the vehicle, the changes become clear thanks to new materials and approaches to interior design. The familiar CUPRA steering wheel, equipped with satellite buttons for the DSG versions, offers maximum control and ease of use. The comfort and stability of the sports or bucket seats, the digital architecture and the completely renewed selection of materials all point to a superior car, reinforcing its performance credentials. Dashboard surfaces use a 3D parametric model to provide tactility and optical interest. The precisely redesigned center console features improved materials to increase interior quality. Copper accents placed around the cabin, including on the air vents, add an extra touch of style.
A wide range of seating options not only provides the driver and passengers with increased comfort and confidence, but also integrates a more sustainable approach to material choices. The sports seat uses fabric upholstery, while the bucket seats can be covered in either 73% recycled microfiber with progressive laser perforation or eco-leather. This continuation of CUPRA's efforts to transform the brand - and the automotive industry - into a more sustainable proposition for customers is evident.
Digitization is at the center of the driver's attention. A new and improved HMI (Human Machine Interface) is implemented in the digital cockpit behind the steering wheel, as well as in the larger 33 cm diagonal infotainment system with a backlit slider. The infotainment system comes with an improved app bar, widgets and Clima Bar, offering an easy-to-use user interface. It's all about simplicity, customization and state-of-the-art design. The climate control is now seamlessly integrated into the head unit screen, making all vehicle functions and assistants accessible with just one click, uniting digital and physical interactions.
The new CUPRA Formentor also integrates an optional high-fidelity audio system with 12 speakers, which the Ideal rent a car airport Cluj Napoca agency highly recommends you purchase, developed in collaboration with the audio experts from Sennheiser Mobility. The powerful 390-watt system immerses the driver and passengers in a unique sound experience. The audio technology incorporates Sennheiser's AMBEO Concerto software, capable of distilling the fundamental components of music, including various instruments and camera information, and redistributing them throughout the car. This software delivers pure Sennheiser sound, built on Sennheiser's long history of providing artists and music professionals with reliable sound solutions. With all these features and innovations, the new CUPRA Formentor 2025 not only offers a luxurious and high-performance interior, but also underlines the brand's commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge technology, turning every journey into an unforgettable experience.
Engines and Performance of the New CUPRA Formentor 2025: Superlative Power and Efficiency
The new CUPRA Formentor 2025 is designed to combine the performance of internal combustion and electrified engines, offering a varied range of powertrains that meet the diverse needs and preferences of drivers. From petrol and diesel engines to hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, Formentor promises impressive performance and superior efficiency.
Petrol engines (TSI)
The CUPRA Formentor opens its range of engines with a 1.5 liter TSI petrol engine, which offers 150 hp and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Performance is boosted by the larger 2.0-liter TSI engine with a power of 204 hp, coupled to a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (4Drive).
At the top of the CUPRA Formentor range are the VZ variants, a name derived from the Spanish word "Veloz", which means fast, and thus the Ideal rent a car Cluj office informs you that the new CUPRA Formentor VZ 2025 is available with two petrol engine options: a 265 HP front-wheel drive and a 333 hp, equipped with a circuit-calibrated driving mode and torque-split technology, as well as optional Akebono brakes.
Mild Hybrid (eTSI)
The CUPRA Formentor is now also available with a mild hybrid option (eTSI), which combines a 1.5 liter 150 hp petrol engine with 48V mild hybrid technology. This system adds efficiency and comfort by allowing the car to run with the engine off in certain driving scenarios, recuperate energy under braking and support the engine with electric assist.
Diesel engines (TDI)
Diesel remains an important component of the CUPRA Formentor range, with a 2.0 liter TDI engine producing 150 hp and mated to a 7-speed DSG transmission. This version is essential for certain markets and customers who appreciate the efficiency and high torque of diesel engines.
Plug-in Hybrid (eHybrid)
CUPRA Formentor reinforces its commitment to electrification by introducing two new-generation plug-in hybrid engine options: one with 204 hp and one with 272 hp. Both are equipped with a 1.5-liter TSI engine, an electric motor and a larger 19.7 kWh battery, offering a pure electric range of over 100 km. The battery can be quickly charged up to 50 kW (DC charging) or at home using an 11 kW electrical wall box.
The CUPRA Formentor VZ e-HYBRID (272 HP) variants can be equipped with Brembo brakes, which combine four-piston calipers and larger perforated brake discs (370x32 mm), offering superior braking performance.
Superior Performance and Driving Modes
The CUPRA Formentor VZ benefits from an advanced chassis system that allows the inclusion of a Drift mode, allowing the vehicle to show its high-performance character on the circuit. In this mode, the ESC is set to sport mode, and the torque-split technology directs power to a single rear wheel, helping the car turn as if pirouetted.
The new CUPRA Formentor 2025 offers an impressive range of engines and performances that satisfy both speed enthusiasts and those looking for efficiency and sustainability. With varied options and advanced technologies, Formentor continues to be a leader in the performance crossover SUV segment.
