The forthcoming Cupra Terramar SUV has been spied once again without any camouflage ahead of its imminent reveal.
The Volkswagen Group’s sporty Spanish subsidiary brand isn’t disguising any part of the upcoming SUV with camouflage, which allows us to see every single body line and crease.
Compared to a previously spied example, this particular Terramar prototype has large cross-drilled brake rotors which indicates it could be a sportier VZ trim level.
The Cupra Terramar is the company’s largest SUV to date, at about4.5-metres long it’s replacing the Ateca and slotting above the Formentor. It’s based on the new-generation Volkswagen Tiguan but has sportier and more aggressive styling.
This isn’t the first, nor the second time we’ve seen the Terramar without any camouflage. It was originally shown as part of computer-generated future Cupra model lineup photo back in 2022.
Up front the Terramar’s face looks very similar to what we’ve seen with the electric Tavascan crossover, as well as the facelifted Leon and Formentor. There’s a triangular LED headlight lighting signature, plus a large front air intake.
Around the back there’s a full-width LED light bar with an illuminated Cupra logo, plus a diffuser-style lower bumper that doesn’t have any expose tailpipes.
At this stage we’re yet to see what the Terramar’s interior look like.
It’s understood the Cupra Terramar will be the brand’s final new model released with a combustion powertrain, offering mild-hybrid turbocharged petrol engines, as well as a 200kW turbocharged plug-in hybrid with close to 100km of range.
The Terramar is based on the newer and tech-heavy MQB evo platform that underpins the Formentor and Leon, as well as the Mk 8 Golf and new-generation Tiguan. Expect the VW Group’s latest infotainment and assistance technologies to also be available.
Cupra Tavascan, Terramar, Raval (nee UrbanRebel)
Cupra Australia has previously indicated it’s expecting the Terramar to arrive in local showrooms in 2025 as part of a major product overhaul that will include facelifts to the Leon and Formentor, as well as the new electric Tavascan.
The Spanish brand is also expected to launch the high-performance Born VZ either late this year or early next, before the entire Born lineup goes in for a midlife refresh sometime in 2025.
Additionally, the electric Raval city car (formerly known as the UrbanRebel) is expected to be revealed in production form in 2025, ahead of a 2025 or 2026 launch in Australia.
