Cupra Terramar: VW Tiguan’s Exciting Sister
Here is the rewritten article:
The new Cupra Terramar, the exciting sister of the Volkswagen Tiguan, is launched in the heart of Spain . The aggressive model in design will be offered with a range of gasoline, mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid engines, with a body with sporty design touches.
The Cupra Terramar adopts the Spanish automaker’s latest design language, following the recently refreshed Leon and Formentor. There are apparently common touches with the Volkswagen Tiguan relative in terms of engines and platform, but the Terramar’s exterior is unique to the Cupra. One of the most striking exterior touches is the aggressive-looking headlights, which flank a sharp nose with large air intakes. LED taillights run the full width of the car with an illuminated logo in the middle, while a faux diffuser adorns the rear bumper. Depending on the trim, the Terramar rides on 18-, 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, the dashboard features a Tiguan-like design with many Cupra-specific features, making it look sportier and more premium. Tech features include a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.9-inch infotainment system with an illuminated touchscreen, a head-up display, and a 12-speaker Sennheiser sound system. Standard seats are upholstered in recycled fabric or a combination of fabric and recycled leather.
The Cupra Terramar is based on the MQB Evo platform, which it shares with models such as the Volkswagen Passat and Tiguan, as well as the Skoda Superb and Kodiaq. Cupra has optimised the setup for sporty driving dynamics, in keeping with the Cupra’s character.
The standard sports suspension sits 10 mm lower than the relevant models from ŠKODA and VW, and has a higher front height. The SUV also features Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), standard progressive steering, electric brake booster and available Akebono brakes. The base 1.5-liter eTSI mild-hybrid engine produces 148 hp, sending power to the front wheels via a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. The conventional 2.0-liter TSI engine produces 201 hp or 261 hp and is connected to the 4Drive all-wheel drive system. An eHybrid system is also available, generating 201 hp and 268 hp respectively. This system provides more than 100 kilometers of electric range and supports direct charging at up to 50 kW.
The company said that the Terramar was designed and developed in Barcelona, Spain. The SUV will be manufactured at Audi’s plant in Hungary, alongside the next-generation Audi Q3. The Terramar will be delivered in early 2025.
