Ah, the Cupra Formentor 1.4 eHybrid V2. Now here?s a car that represents what I?d call a ?quiet revolution.? Registered in September 2024 and with only 10,000 miles under its belt, this particular example is a rather modern solution to the rather modern problem of wanting a car that?s both exciting and responsible. It?s a plug-in hybrid, which means you can do your short journeys in near silence, running purely on electricity like some sort of stealth commuter. But should you feel the need to press on a bit?perhaps you're late for something or simply want to enjoy yourself?there?s a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that joins in to deliver a combined 204 horsepower. It?s all very clever and very seamless, thanks to the smooth DSG automatic gearbox. The V2 trim means it?s well-appointed without being ostentatious. You get things like a digital cockpit, a big touchscreen, sporty seats, adaptive cruise control, and a general sense that this isn?t just another crossover?it?s been thought about. It?s stylish but not shouty, sporty but not uncomfortable. So, what you have here is a car that?s brisk, clever, efficient, and quite handsome too. It?s a car for grown-ups?albeit ones who still enjoy driving.
