CUPRA has once again pushed the limits of power, precision, and style with the announcement of the new limited-edition CUPRA Formentor VZ5. Designed, developed, and produced in Barcelona, this thrilling model is set to enter production in Q1 2026, with just 4,000 units available worldwide.
This isn’t just another performance SUV — it’s a statement. The CUPRA Formentor VZ5 blends raw five-cylinder power with premium design and the kind of cutting-edge technology that gets your pulse racing before you’ve even pressed the start button.
Under the bonnet sits CUPRA’s legendary 2.5-litre TSI five-cylinder engine, fine-tuned to deliver 390PS (287kW) and 480Nm of torque. Mated to a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission and CUPRA’s advanced all-wheel drive system, the VZ5 delivers an exhilarating driving experience that’s both agile and confidence-inspiring. Thanks to the integrated torque splitter, power is distributed with surgical precision to all four wheels — perfect for those sweeping corners and spirited Sunday drives.
And for the first time ever, the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 will be offered in both left- and right-hand drive, meaning UK drivers can finally experience CUPRA’s most powerful combustion engine model in all its glory.
Visually, the VZ5 stands apart. It features a distinctive new front bumper and splitter engraved with the VZ5 logo, widened wheel arches, and a redefined rear diffuser housing the signature diagonal copper exhaust tips. Add to that the exclusive 20-inch copper alloy wheels and a choice of striking finishes – Midnight Black, Dark Void, Magnetic Tech Matt, Century Bronze Matt, and Enceladus Grey Matt – and you’ve got a head-turner from every angle.
Step inside and you’ll find CUPRA’s unmistakable blend of luxury and sportiness. The cockpit is refined yet driver-focused, complete with CUPBucket seats, ambient lighting, and bespoke interior details that create a premium, performance-driven atmosphere.
Sven Schuwirth, Executive Vice-President for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales at CUPRA, sums it up perfectly:
“The return of the CUPRA Formentor VZ5 is a bold statement of our commitment to performance and emotion. With its iconic five-cylinder engine, this model embodies the essence of CUPRA — daring, unconventional and driven by passion.”
At National Vehicle Solutions, we’re thrilled to see this powerhouse making its way to UK shores. The CUPRA Formentor VZ5 captures everything we love about performance driving — emotion, precision, and presence.
