The arrival of the Cupra Terramar has expanded the range of models of the Spanish brand, with the introduction of a medium-sized SUV which maintains the sporting vocation of the other cars of the brand but which also guarantees excellent habitability, making it versatile. After telling you about the driving impressions in our test drive as a preview, here are 5 things to know about the new Cupra Terramar.
1. The dimensions of the Cupra Terramar
The new Cupra Terramar is 4.51 meters long, has a height of 1.58 meters, a width of 1.86 meters and a wheelbase of 2.68 meters.
2. Different front
At the front, the shark nose immediately stands out, making the front part very expressive. Also standing out here are the new headlights with three triangles, the new light signature for the brand, LED Matrix with high definition technology. The Cupra logo is framed between two ribs which make the bonnet muscular and better define the proportions of the car. Instead of the classic grille, in the lower part of the front there is a functional structure that highlights the sporty soul of this model.
3. Optimized platform
Cupra’s engineers have done specific work to optimize the MQB EVO platform to adapt it to the dynamic driving characteristics that are a distinctive feature of the brand: the ride height has been lowered by 10 mm compared to other applications, progressive steering has been implemented to increase control and agility as well as the DCC system for dynamic ride control with specific shock absorbers. Thanks to a specific camber of the front axle, the Cupra Terramar also promises optimal grip when cornering at high speed.
4. The Cupra Terramar engines
The range of engines is very broad, with three different technologies and five engine options: from the TSI petrol to the Hybrid (mild-hybrid) variant up to the e-Hybrid, the PHEV. The purely endothermic version is offered with a 2.0 engine with two power levels, 204 HP and 265 HP for the Terramar VZ, both with 7-speed DSG gearbox and 4Drive all-wheel drive. The mild-hybrid version is equipped with 48 Volt technology and uses a 150 HP 1.5 petrol engine, the real innovation in terms of engines introduced by this model. Finally, the plug-in hybrid, available with 204 and 272 HP for the VZ. The 1.5 petrol in this case is combined with a 19.7 kWh battery which guarantees a full electric range of over 100 km. The battery can be recharged up to 50 kW with rapid and alternating current systems or wallboxes up to 11 kW.
5. The price
The first deliveries of the new Spanish SUV will begin in November, with the price starting from 42,250 euros for the mild-hybrid and rising up to 59,550 euros for the 272 HP plug-in.
