The PHEV version can travel 62 miles (100 km) without using gasoline.
Cupra hosted its Unstoppable Impulse Event this week, during which it showcased a variety of models in preparation for its goal to sell 500,000 vehicles annually. This is a bold goal when you consider that the Spanish automaker has delivered nearly 200,000 units so far since its inception in 2018. Terramar, a sub-brand of SEAT, will be one of the new models. It is named after a coastal village near Barcelona.
It will be a compact crossover that is mechanically twinned to the next-generation Audi Q3. It will be built at the Gyor plant of the VW Group alongside the model with the Four Rings from Hungary. The Cupra Terramar will measure approximately 4.5 meters (177.1 in) according to preliminary information. This seems to be a good fit, considering that the next Q3 will likely be slightly longer than today’s model (which measures 4.48m (176.6 inches).
The photo below shows the charging port at the front fender. Cupra plans to sell the Terramar equipped with a plug in hybrid powertrain. The battery pack, which is yet to be determined, will provide enough power for a range of up to 62 miles (100 km) of pure electric range. The compact crossover will also be available in ICE versions, presumably with the latest and most advanced gasoline engines from the VW Group.
Cupra knows for certain that the Terramar will be its last car with combustion engines. Everything after it will have an entirely electric setup. The updated MQB platform will be used to support the C-segment crossover. The new model is expected to arrive in 2024. It will sit above the Ateca as well as the first standalone model of the company, the Formentor.
Cupra also presented an updated version last year’s UrbanRebel by toning down its original concept at the Unstoppable Impulse. This is now much closer to the 2025 production model.
