What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the updated Formentor is stylish, well equipped and better to drive than most SUVs, with sharp, grippy handling and an improved plug-in hybrid. The common criticisms are fiddly touch-sensitive controls and infotainment, and less space than more practical family SUVs; Parkers found the ride firm in its sportiest mode, and Auto Express thinks the performance versions pricey.
