Cupra Formentor V 4Drive

Base price: $54,900

Powertrain and economy: 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder, 140kW/320Nm, 7-speed dual clutch transmission, AWD, combined economy 6.9L/100km, CO2 158g/km (source: RightCar).

Vital statistics: 4450mm long, 1839mm wide, 1511mm high, 2631mm wheelbase, luggage capacity 345 litres, 18-inch alloy wheels.

We like: All the great looks of the VZ, but significantly cheaper. Sharp steering and handling. A cut above most of the pack on the same platform.

We don’t like: Fiddly and infuriating infotainment system. A lot of plastic in the interior. A nonperformance version seems weird for a performance brand.
