Arriving this month from Spanish brand Cupra – a new mid-size SUV in three variants from $58,490 drive-away. Developed alongside the third generation Audio Q3, the Cupra Terramar is a replacement for the ageing Ateca and shares many body components with the new Audi. The entry Cupra Terramar S features a 1.5-liltre turbo petrol mild hybrid powertrain together with front wheel drive. Equipment levels are high with 18-inch alloy wheels, a 360-degree camera, power tailgate, tri-zone climate control, power heated front seats, wireless phone projection, and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15-inch infotainment screen. Two higher grade models, the V and VZ gain a larger 2.0-litre turbo engine and all- wheel-drive, the flagship VZ also gaining an adaptive suspension. A plug- in Cupra Terramar VZ is also programmed to arrive early next year.
