Performance and Powertrains
Under the hood, the CUPRA Formentor offers a wider range of engine choices than the XC40, including petrol, diesel, and hybrid options. The Formentor's line-up features power outputs ranging from 150 HP to a staggering 333 HP, paired with various transmission options such as a manual gearbox and a dual-clutch automatic system. The performance variants can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in as little as 4.8 seconds, providing an exhilarating driving experience for enthusiasts.
On the other hand, the Volvo XC40 is offered with a petrol MHEV (mild-hybrid electric vehicle) engine that produces between 163 and 197 HP. With a focus on efficiency and comfort, the XC40 accomplishes the 0-100 km/h sprint in a respectable time of 7.6 to 8.6 seconds. Both vehicles cater to modern drivers' needs, but with inherently different approaches: CUPRA aims for performance and sportiness, while Volvo emphasizes a balance of power and eco-friendliness.
