2025 Cupra Terramar

A little over two years ago, Cupra started the story of the compact crossover SUV, Terramar, and now it is known that the car will debut on September 3rd.

Terramar is named after a former track in the small village of Rocamar near Sitges in Barcelona. It is a combination of emotions and performance, but also a hero of the new era, as the company says.

It will be equipped with an aerodynamic body, an aggressive front mask where the daytime running lights stand out, sporty rear subs and a thin light line, and a bumper with an integrated diffuser. Cupra didn’t say much about the new model, but hinted that it will have a “bold look full of confidence”, as well as the next generation of eHybrid technology.

When information about the Cupra Terramar appeared, many said that it would be powered by an ICE but also by a new generation of plug-in hybrid engines with an electric range of about 100 kilometers. The company did not disclose details, so more information is expected after the official presentation.

Cupra Dark Rebel could go into production

When Cupra became an independent brand in 2018, no one expected that a large increase in sales of their vehicles would follow. However, that’s exactly what happened, and Cupra increased sales from less than 20,000 vehicles to over 200,000 last year. Now the manufacturer has even bigger plans, which include an attractive shooting brake in the form of the Dark Rebel model.

The Dark Rebel is an all-electric car that will most likely share a platform and components with models from the Volkswagen Group. Many believe that the new SSP Sport electric platform used by Porsche cars (Boxster and Cayman) would be best suited for the Dark Rebel. This platform enables a low seating position because the batteries are located behind the driver and passenger.

Cupra plans to produce 20,000 cars of this model per year in order to be profitable. Also, the development and production of each new model requires a large investment, so Cupra hopes to secure funds for the development of the Dark Rebel car this year.

“We have to make a lot of money, continue to increase profits and sustainability, and after that this model can become one of our priorities. Right now we have many other priorities like the production of Tavascan and Terramar, but a car like this would definitely have a huge impact on Cupra as a brand. Unfortunately, it can’t be a priority for the company, because that would be pointless and egotistical. I’d love to make a car, it would be my own when I retire, I can be sent home in it as long as I can get in and out of it then,” said CEO of Seat & Cupra Wayne Griffiths.

Cupra started production of redesigned Formentor and Leon

At the end of April, Cupra revealed the redesigned Formentor and Leon, and now the brand has announced that the first cars have left the production lines.

The Cupra Formentor and Leon are the Romanian brand’s best-selling cars in 2024, with around 42,000 units of the Formentor and more than 25,000 units of the Leon delivered in the first five months.

At the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, Cupra premiered the compact crossover SUV (C-segment), Formentor, as the first car designed specifically for the Volkswagen Group sub-brand. So far, more than 347,000 cars have been delivered worldwide.

Cupra Leon and Seat Leon are fundamentally the same cars, but with several key differences. The car received Cupra’s firmer, sportier suspension with Seat’s cleaner interior design. Since its launch as Cupra’s stand-alone brand in 2018, more than 600,000 cars have been delivered worldwide.

Both models are produced at the Martorell factory, which was built in the early 1990s and has a size of 2.8 million square meters. It should be noted that more than 12 million cars left this factory.

The first deliveries of the Formentor and Leon are scheduled for 3Q 2024.
