Equipment, options and extras
There's really no need for anything beyond the entry-level V1 trim because that comeswith enough toys. As well as the parking aids and the infotainment gadgets we mentioned earlier, you also get 18in alloys, full LED headlights, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, privacy glass, power-folding door mirrors, three-zone climate control, keyless entry and adaptive cruise control.
VZ1 is the automatic upgrade if you go for one of the more powerful engines (242bhp or 306bhp) and adds 19in alloys and a powered tailgate with gesture control. V2 and VZ2 add heated Nappa leather bucket front seats and 19in alloy wheels.
Top-tier VZ3 trim is available onlywith the most powerful TSI 310 engine and gets you bigger Brembo brakes,bespoke19in alloy wheels and more sophisticated matrix LED headlights.It’s a fairly pricey trim, though, so unless those brakes are really important to you, we’d stick to the cheaper trims.
Reliability
Cupra as a brand finished bottom of the most recent What Car? Reliability Survey, below the likes of Alfa Romeo and Land Rover. The Formentor was also one of the least dependable family SUVs in the survey, due to a high number of non-engine electrical glitches and problems with the infotainment system.
To give you somepeace of mind, athree-year/60,000 mile warranty is included as standard. That matches what you get with theXC40, although isn’t as good as the three-year unlimited mileage warranty of the X2.
