Cupra’s top-selling model will be updated in Australia around March 2026, and the Spanish brand’s local product boss has confirmed initial lineup details including the engine variants we can expect.

The 2026 Cupra Formentor range has been delayed several times for Australia, and will arrive at the end of the first quarter of next year, nearly 18 months after it went on sale in Europe.

Jeff Shafer, head of product for Cupra Australia, confirmed with CarExpert we can once again expect four core members of the Formentor family early next year, with the limited-edition VZ5 halo model – complete with a turbocharged five-cylinder engine from Audi – to arrive in the latter stages of 2026.
