This Sporty Cupra Family SUV Proves Crossovers Don’t Have to Be Boring
Cupra Terramar offers sporty driving modes, premium design, and electrified or petrol engines with pricing starting near £40,000, targeting family crossover buyers.
- Published 14th Mar 2026, the Cupra Terramar mixes bold styling, sporty driving dynamics and family practicality, based on the Skoda Kodiaq and VW Tiguan but 'infinitely more interesting'.
- Cupra emphasized exterior sportiness by adding faux diffusers, attractive wheels, and aggressive front styling flowing to a sculpted rear, injecting design flair absent from many family crossovers.
- Powertrain choices include two plug-in hybrids described as easy to live with and sporty, plus a petrol range with a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder offering 201bhp or 261bhp.
- Space trade-offs mean sports seats are very comfortable but reduce rear space, and a plug-in hybrid can further limit boot capacity, with pricing at the premium end: below 40,000 for V1 and over 50,000 for VZ2.
- In the reviewer's view, the Terramar includes driving modes such as Cupra setting, synthetic engine sound, and a clumsy seven-speed DSG, with safety warnings that can be turned off through steering-wheel controls.
