The Cupra Formentor is fun, fast and in VZ-guise features a fantastic all-wheel drive powertrain producing more than 300hp. With a stunning muscular design and impressive cabin to boot, it’s one of the best SUVs currently on the market. This is a review of the Formentor with Howard Ritchie.

But what’s it like to live with? Can you live with the fuel consumption? Is it practical? Do you really need the fiery VZ3 version, or would a plug-in model suit you better? After all, entry-level V1 models still come with 18in alloy wheels, a 10in infotainment system with smartphone mirroring, adaptable cruise control and keyless start as standard.

We sent one to Howard to get the full lowdown. Don’t have time to watch all the Formentor reviews?

This sub-seven minute video sums them all up.
