2024 Cupra Formentor price and specs

Cupra Australia has detailed its revised Formentor crossover line-up for the 2024 model-year, ahead of deliveries commencing in the latter stages of the third quarter (July-September).

As reported earlier this week, the 2024 Cupra Formentor range sees price rises between $1800-$2000 depending on variant, with tech features like DAB+ radio and a power tailgate now standard across the range.

Also new for MY24 is the option of an Akrapovic titanium sports exhaust for the flagship VZx, which is priced from $6300.

The brand’s local division has brought in a new Leather and Camera Package ($2800), available on Formentor V, VZ and VZe grades, replacing the old Leather and Power Package. See further down for the details.

Orders for the MY24 Cupra line-up will “be available shortly” ahead of deliveries commencing late in the third quarter of 2023. However, the company has confirmed “significant MY23 stock” is arriving into Cupra’s local dealer network at pre-adjusted pricing.
