Engine Performance and Powertrain Options
The CUPRA Formentor offers a range of engine options tailored to meet diverse driving needs. With petrol, plug-in hybrid, mild-hybrid, and diesel variants, the power output varies from 150 HP to a stunning 333 HP in the high-performance version. The Formentor’s engine options combined with either a manual or a dual-clutch automatic transmission greatly contribute to its versatility, giving drivers the choice between engaging control or seamless automation.
Conversely, the Lexus LBX is powered by a full hybrid engine, delivering a maximum power output of 136 HP. The LBX comes with a constantly variable transmission (CVT), focusing on smooth acceleration and efficiency. While it may not match the Formentor in terms of raw power, the hybrid system ensures remarkable fuel economy, with consumption as low as 4.5 L/100 km, making it a suitable choice for eco-conscious drivers.
