Cupra Terramar SUV on sale with petrol and PHEV models
Cupra has opened orders for its Terramar family SUV, billed as the brand’s new SUV hero.
Expected to be Cupra’s last internal combustion engine model, it forms part of the company’s biggest-ever product offensive following the recent launches of the new Leon, Formentor, Born VZ and Tavascan.
Cupra’s counterpart to the Audi Q3 and Volkswagen Tiguan, it’s underpinned by the same VW Group’s MQB Evo platform and moves the company “upmarket into the hotspot of the fastest-growing segment in Europe”.
The midsize SUV is available with a range of pure petrol and plug-in hybrid versions along with four regular trims and two special editions, priced from £37,605.
The first phase of the launch includes two new-generation e-Hybrid plug-in hybrid units, already seen in other group models such as the Volkswagen Passat estate and Tiguan and delivering 204hp and 272hp and more than 70 miles of all-electric range.
The initial launch also includes the group’s 150hp 1.5-litre mild hybrid petrol with DSG auto gearbox and the flagship 265hp 2.0-litre petrol with DSG and all-wheel drive.
These will be joined late January by a 204hp version of the 2.0-litre petrol, again with DSG and all-wheel drive as standard.
Trim line-up includes V1, V2, VZ1 and VZ2 trims.
A First Edition and America’s Cup Special Edition will also be on offer. Around 1,300 units of the latter model will be produced globally with unique design and style cues that embrace the collaboration with America’s Cup and available solely with the 265hp 2.0 TSI.
Options on offer include upgraded copper alloys on VZ trims, space saver spare wheel, Akebono performance brakes, panoramic sunroof, and Sennheiser sound system.
Marcus Gossen, director of SEAT and Cupra UK, said: “We thrive on pushing boundaries, and the Terramar is redefining what it means to be a sporty SUV. The new model embraces our refreshed design language and all-new plug-in hybrid technology to bring a thrilling combination of design, performance and emotion. I can’t wait to see it on UK roads and to witness the continued success of the brand in the UK with our all-new line-up.”
