- Cupra Formentor v. Audi S3 - Which Is Better? (Feat. PocketRockets)
Ok, so it's the most obvious head-to-head, and you could say this is the twin test nobody asked for, but hear me out... Both Cupra Formentor VZ2 and Audi S3 share the same 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder petrol engine, pumping out 310hp and 400Nm of torque.
Both cars also use a 7-speed DSG - although Audi calls it 'S Tronic' - and a haldex based all wheel drive system. They also have a limited speed of 155mph, although the S3, thanks to it's lighter weight is able to crack 62mph in 4.8 seconds compared to the Formentor's 4.9.
The Cupra Formentor is more money to buy, but comes with more as standard, and it's larger, meaning it's more practical. An Audi S3 at a similar spec would be more money, and of course, won't offer the same amount of space.
Ultimately, which is the better car, though? I enlisted the help of good friend and fellow RUclipsr, PocketRockets to find out.

I went and bought the Cupra Formentor. I love how it drives, sounds and makes me feel - it definitely is an occasion to drive each time. It does however gather so much attention from other road users or when parked. Most don’t know what it is or assume it is more exotic than it actually is. I am not sure if I am being paranoid but some drivers also seem to act more erratic around it and will try race the car. Of course I am happy to oblige to maintain good relations….
An action packed day of filming that I thoroughly enjoyed, I quite like these twin test formats! Thanks for having me back once again 👍🏼
Although the Cupra Formentor is classed as an SUV I see it more like a crossover between a hatchback and an SUV. I love the styling of it, I fell in love with this car as soon as I saw in the flesh. I have not had a chance to drive one yet.
Both of you are so entertaining and good to listne to ! Love to learn more from both of you about cars !
Really great watch thanks, you are both informative and entertaining! I am due to move from Leon FR 190 2019 dsg (luv it, esp with map to 252hp), seriously considering VZ2 Formentor 310. Test drove the VZ2 hybrid 245 - underwhelmed++ This video helped me make up my mind - VZ2 formentor 310 4wd it is then. Last petrol hurrah before electric switch in 4 yrs time 😁
The Cupra Formentor VZ is a fabulous family car, I tried finding something that fits 4 adults, has enough boot space yet isn't boring to death like most cars in this class that have a reasonable price tag on them. The only complaints are the underwhelming 'premium' beats audio system and that VW group software is a bit buggy and shit compared to android based 60fps smooth and stable experience you get on a Volvo etc. But that applies to everything VW makes, skoda, audi, alike. There IS the option also for the Cupra Leon Sportstourer which was my original first choice but they had none available with exactly the spec I wanted and I found a slightly driven formentor VZ with almost everything in it for a really good price. Ultimately happy aside from software issues and boy it's super fun to drive every time.
I reckon be group should utilize their inhouse 2.5 5 cyl to may be golf and cupras ...there's no point in reserving it for RS3 s that won't even sell that well ...
Great review 👏
Stats are off on the Formentor. Matt Watson dragged it at 4.31 to 60mph
Haha like what you did there with the "assistant". Not a fan of the formentor as I'm not into SUVs, but I would always prefer a manual rather than a faster car if that makes sense.
Cupra Formentor suit a single guy? Or more family?
That's my car like this exact one
Great review between two different cars of the same group 👍🏼. A head to head drag race would have been ace.
FormentoR!
Why is your little friend 'rocket pocket' so small and does he need to use special wooden blocks in the cars to be able to reach the pedals (like the brake and clutch??)
The Formentor is now described as a Coupe SUV.
can the little guy see over the dash ? :))
Audi s3 all the way!
Ffff very narrow roads, not very fun to drive 🤔. For me the formentor looks so nice outside and inside and has lot of stuff standart so it is a winner. Nice car.
Why compare an Apple to an orange? I don’t imagine someone would shortlist both of these cars based on their needs.
