CUPRA Terramar

Against the backdrop of the America’s Cup, one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events, CUPRA unveils the new CUPRA Terramar, the brand’s new hero for a new era. The sporty SUV moves CUPRA upmarket into the hotspot of the fastest growing segment in Europe as part of the brand’s biggest ever product offensive following the recent launches of the new CUPRA Leon, Formentor, Born VZ and Tavascan.

“With the CUPRA Terramar, we will not only grow our portfolio of products but at the same time help our brand to “grow-up” by bringing CUPRA upmarket, to new customers and new growing segments, without, however, losing our rebellious and challenger spirit.” said Wayne Griffiths, CEO of CUPRA. “A car that reinforces CUPRA today as a brand that is more mature, more confident in its direction, and more certain in its identity than ever before, without ever compromising on a rebellious spirit and authenticity.”

To date, CUPRA has delivered around 700,000 vehicles and the brand recently extended its record-breaking journey, registering the best first half year in its history by delivering 125,700 cars, an increase of 17.2% compared to the same period in 2023 (107,300).

CUPRA Terramar: the new hero of a new era

The CUPRA Terramar embraces the brand’s new design language, with a bold and confident look. The new sporty SUV features the iconic three triangle signature, with CUPRA Matrix LED Ultra, with High-Definition Technology.

The front exterior design is extenuated as the grille gives way to the performance-oriented functional lower mouth, suggestive of sports cars. The sporty proportions skip from the front of the SUV to the side, with sweeping lines that shift from the front across the side to heighten the SUV’s sense of performance.

As the eye moves to the CUPRA Terramar’s rear design, its wide proportions give the SUV a strong presence, with the integrated and illuminated CUPRA logo positioned centrally between the rear lights along with the Terramar name illuminated. The rear diffuser contrasts with the other elements of the design helping to lighten its proportions, giving it a defiant character.

The CUPRA Terramar will be available in nine exterior colours, including two matt options –Century Bronze Matt and Enceladus Grey Matt, as well as the Dark Void, inspired by the plasma colour of the CUPRA DarkRebel Showcar.

The interior reinterprets sportiness with a driver-oriented cockpit enhanced by the design of the centre console. It also embraces sustainability with bucket seats wrapped in its central areas either with textile created from 100% upcycled SEAQUAL® YARN, Dinamica with at least 73% recycled textile or leather that uses a plant-based tanning process.

Digitalisation is at the centre of the driver’s focus with a newly designed HMI implemented in the digital cockpit, as well as in the 12.9” infotainment system with a retro-illuminated slider. In addition, CUPRA continues its collaboration with the audio experts of Sennheiser mobility, integrating a high-fidelity 12-speaker sound system.

The CUPRA Terramar brings together the possibilities of combustion and electrification with five different powertrains across three technologies: TSI (petrol), eTSI (mild hybrid) and the new generation of plug-in hybrid (e-HYBRID) engines, delivering from 150PS to 272PS. Driving dynamics is enhanced thanks to the standard sport suspension and progressive steering, as well as the new adaptative chassis control and Akebono brakes.

Designed and developed in Barcelona, the CUPRA Terramar will be produced in Audi’s Györ plant in Hungary. Deliveries will start during the last quarter of this year.

Cupra DarkRebel Concept
CUPRA has revealed its virtual sports car, the CUPRA DarkRebel, which pushes the limits of automotive design. The car embodies the performance and emotion of the unconventional brand and is the first show car presented through CUPRA’s Metahype space in the metaverse. CEO Wayne Griffiths stated that the CUPRA DarkRebel represents the ultimate expression of their vision after five years of building the brand. The car showcases CUPRA’s DNA to the maximum without any constraints, provoking a dialogue about design instead of following a predictable process.

Design with unfiltered CUPRA DNA

The CUPRA DarkRebel is a virtual sports car that combines the athletic proportions of a sports car with a shooting brake architecture, characterized by sharp lines.

It has a sharp and radical front end with a long arrow-shaped bonnet, providing maximum feeling of speed. The cabin is pushed to the rear to create attractive proportions.

The car features a new approach to the brand’s iconic triangular light signature emerging from the body, and a central spine connecting the front and rear, providing the core of the skeleton for the all-electric sports car.

The CUPRA DarkRebel has progressive bucket seats, a gamified steering wheel, and shifter, making it a driver-oriented car that connects human and machine.

This fully virtual sports car is designed for a new dimension where pushing the limits, desire, and emotion are the brand’s driving force.

CUPRA breaks free from the limitations of physical reality with the CUPRA DarkRebel, exploring new dimensions to enhance the experience. This virtual sports car takes advantage of the potential of the virtual world to increase creativity, imagination and sensations.

To offer a way to exercise creativity without physical constraints, CUPRA has designed the Hyper Configurator, a virtual lab where users can experiment with colors, materials and finishes in various virtual environments. By offering an unparalleled degree of freedom, users can create their own versions of the CUPRA DarkRebel, which will influence the design of the final physical model that CUPRA will unveil in the future.

The Hyper Configurator adjusts the car’s attributes and surroundings dynamically based on the user’s degree of realism or imagination. Effects such as colors, graphics and visual features can all be manipulated. This way, the CUPRA Tribe can interact and create their unique designs that could become part of the future physical model.

Users can choose between three environments – Exponential square, Exponential cube, and Exponential infinite, in which they can transform the show car and create their very own CUPRA DarkRebel:
- Exponential square: where the CUPRA Tribe can live the raw values of CUPRA design. Inspired by natural elements like minerals and stones, here the user can experience and challenge CUPRA’s raw textures and earthy colours in the Hyper Configurator.
- Exponential cube: for those that have a soft spot for the racing world. Here, users can experiment with the digital aesthetic of a neon-like glow, algorithmic movements, parametric geometries, and fluorescent lights. Sleek and vibrant, orthogonal, and fluid at same time.
- Exponential ∞: the highest level of Exponentiality disconnects from reality and embraces a dreamlike, otherworldly, and surreal universe with no constraints from the physical world. The environment and material choices are dominated by an ethereal feel creating a fully realised metaverse.
After finishing their configuration in the Hyper Configurator, users can share a video of their one-of-a-kind CUPRA DarkRebel.

The DarkRebel’s distinctive design and advanced technology are sure to make it an attention-grabbing statement car.

Cupra unveils the new UrbanRebel Concept. Here are some details

CUPRA team pushes the limits with its new and bold urban vehicle, the UrbanRebel Concept, scheduled to be launched in 2025.

This is also the brand’s first all-electric urban vehicle. Here’s what Wayne Griffiths, CEO of CUPRA says about the newcomer:

The CUPRA UrbanRebel Concept is a radical interpretation of the company’s urban electric car, due to be launched in 2025. This racing concept gives an idea of the design language of the future street-car and will inspire its creation. The urban electric car is a key strategic project not only for our company, but also for the Volkswagen Group, as our aim is to produce more than 500,000 urban electric cars per year in Martorell for different Group brands. The urban electric car will democratise and make accessible electromobility to the masses.

The Cupra UrbanRebel Concept will evolve in a road version that will mix some neat design approaches and advanced technologies, thanks to the VW’s MEB short platform, which will be indeed the base for the new EV. The vehicle will also represent a change in the brand’s approach towards a more progressive design concept but will maintain all the values that have made CUPRA a renowned brand.

Cupra UrbanReben Concept comes with a neat exterior design

At the front, a shark nose now defines the face and the new triangular signature in the lamps contributes to this sophisticated and yet aggressive expression. Furthermore, a wrap-around window graphic creates the impression of a helmet and gives continuity between the windows around the vehicle to create the illusion of a floating roof.

At the sides, the vehicle reveals neat and pronounced proportions, thanks to the wedge line – from the C-pillar to the front door with diagonal sculptural surfaces which create a neat contrast.

Cupra finds one more strategic partner. Details here!

CUPRA works with SEAQUAL INITIATIVE to manufacture the new bucket seats for the Born lineup from upcycled materials from the Mediterranian.

The vehicle’s bucket seats will be created from a recycled polymer fiber fabric called SEAQUAL YARN. This means that SAQUAL INITIATIVE team collects litter from beaches, the ocean floor, and the surface in order to clean up the environment and recycles the litter into yarn that can be an ideal replacement of the virgin polyester.

This means that the entire project and partnership contribute to a more circular economy and continuous cleaning of the planet’s seas, rivers, and oceans.

CUPRA Director of Strategy, Business Development and Operations Antonino Labate commented: With the CUPRA Born, our first 100% electric vehicle, we’re entering a new electric era. The partnership with SEAQUAL INITIATIVE to create the seats for this new model demonstrates that sustainability, innovation and contemporary design are a perfect combination. CUPRA is a brand that inspires the world from Barcelona, which is why we are committed to circular-economy projects and helping preserve a natural resource which is very close to us, the Mediterranean.

New Cupra Born is about to finish the harsh -30 degrees tests

CUPRA engineers have spent about two years testing the new Born at the 62km2 frozen lake circuit just a few miles from the Arctic Pole.

In this aggressive environment, where temperatures often reach -30 degrees, engineers used some advanced tech approaches in order to refine and enhance the driving capabilities of the Cupra Born. Now in the final stages of testing before launch, technicians are pushing the fully electric car to its limits in severe conditions.

The examinations include durability testing, where about 19,000 test miles have been accumulated day and night. The aim is to ensure that Born delivers the best possible performance even in the most extreme conditions. What the experts were also after is the optimization of the Dynamic Chassis Control and the flexibility of the dampers.

Despite being 2,500 miles away from the Technical Centre in Barcelona, the engineers used state-of-the-art technologies like 3D printers in order to ensure the best possible performance and dynamics.

CUPRA is ready to tackle down the world’s toughest terrain

CUPRA prepares to tackle down one of the most demanding roads in the world as it heads to the start line of the Extreme E season. Kicking off on the 3^rd of April, the Extreme E will not only showcase some of the most advanced machines to date but will also bring more awareness about climate change.

As it comes to Cupra, it has been part of Extreme E from the outset and is the first brand to announce its participation along with ABT Sportsline as the brand’s main partner.

CUPRA’s goal is to contribute to the future by bringing new ideas about changing electromobility, sustainability, and balance. To do so, CUPRA’s high-performance 544hp ABT XE1 will be pushed to the limit at the first race of the season in the Al Ula region, the world’s largest sand desert.

A new benchmark in the performance SUV category: CUPRA Formentor prices and specifications announced

CUPRA Formentor1

CUPRA has announced final specifications and pricing for the first vehicle designed specifically for the brand, the Formentor coupé SUV, as the order books open.

The new flagship model, which delivers high-performance thanks to the 2.0-litre TSI 310PS 4Drive engine, accelerates from 0-62mph in just 4.9 seconds, costs £39,830 on-the-road. Alternatively, customers can purchase the 310PS Formentor VZ2 from £399 per month on Solutions Personal Contract Plan (PCP).

Formentor has been curated to include a long equipment list as standard across six highly-specified trims, named V1, V2, VZ1, VZ2, VZ3 and VZ Edition. As standard on V1 trim, customers get 18-inch alloy wheels, 12-inch infotainment touchscreen with connected navigation, 10-inch digital driver binnacle, LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, Adaptive Cruise Control, wireless smartphone charger, a leather steering wheel and rear parking sensors, all as standard. The name VZ comes from the word ‘Veloz’ in Spanish, translating as ‘Speed’ or ‘Fast’.

To ensure CUPRA remains accessible to all, Formentor is available with a 150PS TSI engine, either with a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG automatic transmission. Prices will start from £27,300* for the 150PS TSI manual V1 model.

On average, CAP HPI predicts Formentor will retain 44 per cent of its value during the course of typical ownership, on a par with established premium brands.

Engine line-up
The CUPRA Formentor engine line-up is comprised of five outputs, all of which are RDE2 certified. The 1.5-litre TSI engine is available as a 150PS while the 2.0-litre TSI will be offered as a 190PS.

For drivers that want the dramatic design of a CUPRA with eco-conscious performance, the Plug-in Hybrid Variant will be available. A 1.4-litre TSI 150PS (110kW) petrol engine is paired to a 115PS (85kW) electric motor, powered by a 13kWh lithium-ion battery pack, can be tuned to either 204PS or 245PS. The eHybrid has a predicted electric-only range of 31miles (50km).

Both the 1.5-litre and 1.4-litre plug-in variants will be available to order in the UK from quarter one 2021.

At the top of the range is the 2.0-litre TSI DSG-auto 4Drive model, generating 310PS of peak power and 400Nm of torque.

Formentor has been designed and engineered to deliver a performance-orientated drive, delivered, in part, by the front MacPherson struts and multi-link rear suspension set-up to enable the intuitive dynamic response required during enthusiastic driving.

The new CUPRA coupé SUV also features Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC)***, which constantly monitors the road surfaces and driver inputs and makes imperceptible changes to guarantee surefootedness in any condition while delivering the most engaging drive. The DCC slider gives even more control over the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle, changing not only the damping force level of the shock absorber but the chassis controller setting too.

The 4Drive models utilise an electro-hydraulic multi-disc traction system that analyses road conditions in real time delivering power to the wheels with the most traction. Torque can even be controlled across the axle thanks to the EDS electronic aid, which locks the slipping wheel, meaning no transversal torque is lost. The system is integrated into the rear axle and sits at the end of the drive shaft in front of the rear differential, improving weight distribution and reducing inertia and reaction time, meaning the new CUPRA Formentor provides surefootedness behind the wheel.

Model	CO2 (g/km, WLTP)	Fuel econ. (mpg, WLTP)	On-the-road price
Formentor VZ2 TSI DSG-auto 4Drive 310PS	193	31.4-33.2	£39,830
Formentor VZ3 TSI DSG-auto 4Drive 310PS	194	31.4-32.8	£42,200
Formentor VZ Edition TSI DSG-auto 4Drive 310PS	193	31.4-33.2	£43,840

Deliveries to the first UK customers will commence before the end of 2020.

Specification
Befitting the CUPRA name and the equipment included within, Formentor can be specified in one of six highly-specified trims, each carefully curated to deliver a blend of performance, technology and design.

Formentor benefits from a wide colour palette chosen to complement the design: there are four soft metallic paints (Urban Silver, Midnight Black, Magnetic Tech and Candy White); three premium paints (Graphene Grey, Dark Camouflage and Desire Red) as well as two matte paint options (Petrol Blue Matte and Magnetic Tech Matte).
