Next year Australia will see the arrival of the CUPRA brand, A Volkswagen Group subsidiary launched just three years ago it has exceeded expectations managing to sell more than 70,000 cars. Based in Barcelona, Spain the company sees Australia as a key move to expansion in the Asia-Pacific region – as CUPRA President Wayne Griffiths put it “Australia is a young market and CUPRA is a young brand.”

So far sales have come from its high-performance Ateca SUV, from the brands best-selling compact, the Leon and from an SUV Coupe called the Formentor – the first model uniquely designed and developed for the brand and not straight out of the VW parts bin.
