CUPRA Formentor crowned best All-Rounder 2022 Autocar Awards

The CUPRA Formentor has won Best All-rounder at the 2022 Autocar Awards.

The performance SUV-coupé has once again been recognised for its distinctive design, impressive handling capabilities and all-round usability. Combining class-leading driving dynamics and a five-star safety rating, this latest win adds to an extensive list of accolades including Hottest SUV, Best SUV for company car users and shortlisting for Car of the Year 2021.

Mark Tisshaw, Editor of Autocar, said: “What better car to give our Best All-rounder award to than one that’s in about four segments at once and somehow manages to be a compelling option in all of them? In short, the Formentor ticks more boxes than any other car on sale – SUV, coupé, estate, hot hatch, BIK-tax-busting PHEV and compact premium car – and does so for considerably less money than the opposition. It’s a consummate all-rounder.”

Richard Harrison, Managing Director of CUPRA & SEAT UK, said: “With such broad capabilities, from its eye-catching aesthetic to its handling characteristics and practicality, if there is a car that truly qualifies as best all-rounder, then CUPRA Formentor is it – and it’s fantastic that Autocar thinks so too.

“We are very pleased that Formentor has picked up this latest accolade. We know how rigorously Autocar puts cars through their paces, so for our performance SUV to rise to the top of its charts as best all-rounder is hugely satisfying for CUPRA.”

The Formentor, priced from £29,880 OTR, is available with a selection of petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains ranging from the 1.5-litre TSI EVO 150PS, through to the 2.0-litre TSI 4Drive DSG-auto 310PS.

All versions of the Formentor come generously equipped as standard, with features including a 10” infotainment system with smartphone mirroring, a digital driver cockpit, LED headlights and taillights, interior ambient lighting, rear parking sensors, driver profile selection, Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist and Keyless entry and start.
