CUPRA Egypt, represented by Kayan Egypt, has announced the pricing and specifications of the 2026 CUPRA Formentor, which will be offered in the Egyptian market in a single trim level priced at EGP 2.099 million.

The sporty SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged mild-hybrid (mHEV eTSI) engine producing 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Power is delivered to the front wheels through a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission.

According to the company, the Formentor accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 205 km/h.

Kayan Egypt stated that the new powertrain underwent an extensive testing programme lasting approximately two and a half years in cooperation with CUPRA’s parent company. The process included fuel sample analyses every three months to ensure compatibility with local operating conditions while maximising reliability and long-term durability.
