Detailed review and test of the 2024 Cupra Formentor sports SUV with optional Akrapovic titanium exhaust, including sound, handling, interior and more.

The Formentor SUV from Volkswagen’s Spanish upstart brand Cupra has been one of motoring’s highlights of the past few years, particularly its flagship VZx performance version.

But one area where it lacked was in a suitable soundtrack to match its mojo, which has now been addressed thanks to the new Akrapovic titanium exhaust option.

At around $6300, it’s not a cheap addition and it does lift the on-road investment to just over $77K.

However, as we discover, it does add the icing on what is an impressive and multi-dimensional family-hauling cake.
