Cupra Formentor — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Cupra / List of Cupra Formentor Models without Timing Belt

The Cupra Formentor is a premium compact crossover SUV (C-segment in Europe) from the Spanish brand Cupra and manufactured by the Volkswagen Group. It was presented at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show as a concept car. It was to be officially presented at the same show a year later, but the 2020 Geneva Motor Show was cancelled.

The basis of the Formentor is the same as that of the Seat Leon / Cupra Leon, the MQB Evo platform of the VAG Group. It has several engines: gasoline TSI and gasoline plug-in hybrid (TSI Plug-in Hybrid). The most powerful version of this crossover is called Cupra Formentor VZ (derived from the Spanish word veloz, which means “fast” or “speedy”). The Formentor is a modern car, with a great design and is the first Cupra vehicle that does not have a Seat equivalent. It is assembled entirely in Spain at the Martorell factory.

The Cupra Formentor competes with other premium vehicles, which is the brand goal to since its inception as an independent marque. The vehicle that comes closest is the Alfa Romeo Tonale. If we leave design and performance aside, the most similar cars are other equivalent SUVs with hybrid or PHEV versions, such as the Ford Kuga Hybrid / MHEV / PHEV, the Peugeot 3008 PHEV and the Lexus UX 250h. The most similar vehicle within its group is the Audi RS Q3.
