Electrified performance

Cupra Terramar New Zealand

Cupra has teased a "next generation e-Hybrid technology," suggesting a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain capable of an impressive 100km of electric-only range. This aligns with the Volkswagen Tiguan's existing plug-in hybrid options, hinting at potential power outputs ranging from 150kW to 200kW.

Sporty design, inside and out

While sharing its underpinnings with the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Terramar will sport a distinctive design. Expect an aggressive front fascia with triangular elements and striking daytime running lights. The streamlined bodywork, sporty rear pillar, and integrated rear diffuser further accentuate its athletic character.

Full details coming soon

The Terramar marks a significant step for Cupra, representing a "hero of a new era." With its electrified powertrain, sporty design and advanced technology, the Terramar could pique the interests of those looking for something different in the midsize SUV segment.

While Cupra has remained tight-lipped about specific details, the September 3rd debut promises to reveal all. Stay tuned for further updates on the Terramar's powertrain options, interior design and technology features.

Cupra New Zealand has yet to confirm local availability, but the VW Tiguan remains on sale in New Zealand. Pricing starts at $59,990 for the Tiguan R-Line 2WD with a limited run-out offer.
