The used Cupra Formentor is the brand's distinctive coupe-SUV, mixing hot-hatch pace with everyday practicality, quality cabin tech and reassuring comfort. Ideal for drivers wanting style and family-friendly space with a sporting edge. Enjoy flexible finance, full preparation and a 14-day money-back guarantee-find your next used Cupra Formentor for sale with Vertu.
The Formentor is the car that launched CUPRA as a standalone brand, and it remains its best-known model - a crossover with the raised stance of an SUV, the attitude of a hot hatch and styling that stands apart from anything else on the road. Copper detailing, a coupe-like roofline and that distinctive triangular light signature give it a strong presence on the road.
On the used market, the Formentor covers an unusually wide spread of powertrains, from efficient petrol and plug-in hybrid versions to VZ performance models. Once the first owner has taken the early depreciation, there ends up being a huge range of used Formentors to suit different drivers and budgets.
Any remaining manufacturer warranty transfers to you as the new keeper, and every Formentor at Vertu is prepared and checked before it reaches the forecourt. For a used car that blends everyday usability with genuine character, few rivals match it.
Not sure which Formentor fits your budget? The CUPRA Formentor review above talks through the cabin, the powertrains and the VZ models, so you know what to look for when comparing used examples on the forecourt.
Yes, and the breadth of the range is a large part of why. Whether you want low running costs or serious performance, there is a version to suit you, all sharing the same eye-catching design and well-built, driver-focused cabin.
The e-HYBRID plug-in models pair a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for either 204PS or 272PS, offering up to 77 miles of electric-only range and the ability to complete many daily journeys with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. Turbocharged petrol versions cover those who would rather not plug in, while the VZ performance models turn the Formentor into a genuine hot SUV.
CUPRA also backs the Formentor with a five-year or 90,000-mile warranty from new, which transfers to you where it still applies. Every used Formentor sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record.
The Formentor's range suits very different drivers. The table below pairs four buyer types with the version that fits them best.
| Buyer Type | Why the Formentor Fits |
|---|---|
| Company-car and low-cost commuters | The e-HYBRID's electric range of up to 77 miles and low Benefit-in-Kind banding make it a smart choice for business drivers who can charge at home. |
| Style-led buyers | Copper accents, matt paint options and the coupe-crossover silhouette give the Formentor standout presence few rivals can match. |
| Drivers who don't want to plug in | Turbocharged petrol versions deliver the Formentor's looks and driving feel without any charging, ideal for those without a home charger. |
| Performance enthusiasts | The VZ models, topped by the five-cylinder VZ5, turn the Formentor into a genuine hot SUV with serious pace and a purposeful chassis. |
Inside, the Formentor puts the driver first. A 12.9-inch touchscreen anchors the dashboard, with a configurable digital cockpit, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and CUPRA's signature copper and aluminium interior detailing lifting the cabin above the mainstream. Sports seats with copper stitching come even on the entry V1, with CUP bucket seats and a Sennheiser sound system available higher up.
Practicality is respectable for a coupe-styled crossover, with a boot of between 410 and 450 litres depending on powertrain and five seats. The My CUPRA app adds remote functions such as climate control and, on e-HYBRID cars, charge management, while CUPRA CONNECT brings online safety and service features.
Plug-in hybrid models charge through a port on the front wing and are compatible with fast charging, topping the battery up quickly between journeys. Once a Formentor reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, and servicing it through Vertu's CUPRA-trained colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place.
The Formentor climbs from the well-equipped V1 through V2 and the VZ performance grades, with special editions such as the Tribe Edition alongside them. The table below outlines the current trim ladder and what each adds.
These details reflect the current 2026 model-year specification. The Formentor was updated in 2024, so used examples from earlier years carry different trim names and equipment, including earlier V1, V2, VZ1 and VZ2 grades, so confirm the specification of any specific car with your local dealership.
| Trim | Character & Key Equipment |
|---|---|
| V1 | The well-equipped entry grade, with 18-inch SONORA alloys, a 12.9-inch navigation touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, front and rear parking sensors, LED lights, sports seats with copper stitching and Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control. |
| V2 | Adds 19-inch SANDSTORM alloys, heated and electrically adjustable seats, a rear-view camera and an electric tailgate with virtual pedal. |
| Tribe Edition | A distinctive special edition with recycled-aluminium alloys, 3D-knitted bucket seats, memory front seats and the Sennheiser immersive sound system. |
| VZ2 | A performance-focused grade with heated memory front seats, a top-view camera, blind spot monitoring and metallic leather upholstery. |
| VZ3 | Adds 19-inch HAILSTORM alloys, CUP bucket seats, performance brakes and calipers and the Sennheiser sound system. |
| VZ5 | The flagship, powered by an iconic five-cylinder petrol engine, with 20-inch copper alloys, CUPRA Matrix LED Ultra headlights and speed-sensitive steering. |
*Equipment shown reflects the 2026 model-year range and is typical rather than guaranteed on any specific car. Availability varies by model year, trim and options fitted when new.

The CUPRA Formentor is offered as both a turbocharged petrol and a plug-in e-HYBRID. The e-HYBRID pairs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, in 204PS or 272PS forms, and offers up to 77 miles of electric-only range on a charged battery.
Used stock covers both petrol and e-HYBRID versions, so you can choose the one that matches your driving and charging setup.
The current CUPRA Formentor e-HYBRID offers up to 77 miles of electric-only range on a charged battery, enough to cover many daily journeys with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving before the petrol engine is needed. It is also compatible with fast charging.
Real-world range depends on weather, driving style and load, and earlier used e-HYBRID Formentors offered a shorter electric range.
They are CUPRA's trim levels. V grades such as V1 and V2 are the core, well-equipped versions, while VZ grades are the performance-focused models, rising through VZ2 and VZ3 to the flagship VZ5 with its five-cylinder engine. Higher numbers add more equipment and, on VZ cars, more performance.
Used cars from before the 2024 update use slightly different trim names, so it is worth checking exactly which grade a specific car is.
The CUPRA Formentor offers between 410 and 450 litres of boot space depending on the powertrain, with plug-in hybrid versions giving slightly less because of the battery. That is competitive for a compact coupe-styled crossover.
The 60/40 split-folding rear seats extend the load area when you need to carry larger items.
When new, the CUPRA Formentor comes with a five-year or 90,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first. Where that cover is still in date, it transfers to you as the new owner, giving added peace of mind on a used purchase.
Your local dealership can confirm exactly how much warranty remains on a specific car.
Yes. The CUPRA Formentor was awarded the maximum five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Across the range it features driver-assistance systems including Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control, forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane keeping assist and a driver monitoring system.
Higher grades add features such as blind spot monitoring and exit warning for further reassurance.
Every used CUPRA Formentor sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt. That means confirmed free of outstanding finance, never used as a taxi, and free of any salvage or write-off history, alongside a full mechanical inspection.
That preparation also covers bodywork and wheel refurbishment, interior repairs where needed, and a minimum of six months or 6,000 miles before the next service or MOT is due. Full details are in our used car preparation policy.
