Spaniards vs Germans: CUPRA Leon and Formentor receive cutting-edge premium technology

CUPRA Leon and Formentor have received 'smart' headlights, new body color, and more.

Spaniards vs Germans: CUPRA Leon and Formentor receive cutting-edge premium technology

Both models, CUPRA Leon and Formentor, have undergone significant updates in 2026 that concern not only their appearance but also their technological content. One of the new acquisitions is the Matrix LED Ultra headlights, now included in the Pure Performance package. Their special feature is 25,000 pixels, allowing precise light flow regulation, enhancing visibility on curves, and minimizing the risk of dazzling oncoming drivers.

As stated in the press release, there is another update regarding safety — the cross-traffic assistant. It activates at speeds up to 30 km/h and can detect obstacles, including emergency braking. This is especially useful in urban conditions, where the risk of intersection collisions is higher.

The car's design has not been ignored. A new hue, Dark Void, a matte dark color that emphasizes the aggressive and sporty character of both models, has been created for it.

With these changes, the CUPRA Leon and Formentor become even more attractive to those who value modern safety technology and expressive design.
