Understated yet unmistakable. From sporty SUVs to hybrid hatchbacks, CUPRA brings cars with bold personalities & powerful performance.

CUPRA launched as a standalone brand in 2018, but already has several notable achievements under its belt, including introducing the world’s first 100% electric racing touring car: the CUPRA e-Racer, and becoming the first manufacturer to announce participation in the Extreme-E racing series.

CUPRA's vision hails from Barcelona, powered by the city’s vibrant spirit, zest for life and artistic energy – CUPRA strive to stay ahead of the curve with high-performance, emotive and distinctive cars, redefining the art of driving.

CUPRA stands firm in its commitment to electrification, prioritising a sustainable future with powerful vehicles, setting a higher standard for what a car can be.

CUPRA Raval

Crafted with urban DNA and award-winning design, CUPRA’s groundbreaking super-mini, the Raval, prioritises a thrilling, comfortable and immersive driving experience, balanced with striking, stylish, sleek looks.

Named after a “daring, creative and defiantly urban” district in Barcelona, the Raval does everything right. The Raval is small enough to be a truly sporty hot hatch, but has enough length and wheelbase to cater to real-world practicality, proven by its impressive 441-litre boot space.

Steering is accurate and well weighted, slingshotting you out of corners and sliding seamlessly through the city. The tight turning circle of just 10.9 metres and standard fit rear parking sensors make navigating dense streets just as easy as motorway cruising.

With up to 277 miles of WLTP range as well as the ability to fast charge from 10-80% in just 24 minutes, the Raval will have you right back up to speed in no time at all.

CUPRA Born

Available with a 58kWh or 79kWh battery, the CUPRA Born is the manufacturer’s first electric car, named after the trendy Barcelona neighbourhood, El Born. The performance hatchback strikes a careful balance between a comfortable ride and well-judged handling, with the sportiest trim, the Born VZ, climbing from 0-62mph in just 5.6 seconds.

3D Rear lights and an illuminated logo, paired with the built-in diffuser, give the car a sporty and aerodynamic look, and the performance backs it up. While the low centre of gravity and rear-wheel drive make it fun to throw around a twisty road, the Born’s comfort and refinement also make it a capable motorway cruiser.

Inside, a sharp and stylish driver-focused design, Sennheiser immersive sound system and interior ambient lighting further accentuate the emotive driving experience, giving the driver a fulfilling, exciting, all-encompassing experience.

leon ver2.jpg

CUPRA Leon

The CUPRA Leon is a hot hatch with a sensible side, offered in both five-door and practical estate forms, with an engine range spanning from sensible to sensational. The top-of-the-line, 300PS 2.0-litre VZ engine is capable of taking the hatchback from 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds, with the estate version’s four-wheel drive reducing that to an impressive 4.8 seconds.

Sharp, engaging, striking – the Leon balances the excitement with comfort and practicality. On the V2 trim, heated front seats and electrically adjustable lumbar support allow the driver to relax while the rear-view camera and parking sensors make even the tightest city manoeuvring stress-free.

The plug-in e-HYBRID model brings up to 76 miles of electric range to the table, enough to cover your daily commute without touching a drop of petrol. Brembo brakes, high-visibility Matrix LED headlights and a range of intelligent driving features across the trim levels make the Leon a strong companion and a standout statement on the road.

CUPRA Formentor

The CUPRA Formentor is the brand’s best-seller – named after a rugged peninsula on the tip of Mallorca, it’s a crossover that has mastered multiple lanes. You have the choice between 1.5- and 2.0-litre engines, along with a plug-in e-HYBRID offering up to 62 miles of electric-only range.

The shark-nosed front end, clean, sharp edges and rear lightbar give the Formentor a stylish, futuristic look - one that turns heads no matter where you are.

The petrol Formentor holds 450 litres in the boot, with 345 for the plug-in, comfortably enough space for everyday family life, with the practicality of a 60:40 folding rear bench and central load-through ski hatch for any more challenging journeys, whether you need to transport skis, flatpack furniture or even a Christmas tree.

terramar.jpg

CUPRA Terramar

The CUPRA Terramar takes its name from a historic banked racing circuit near Sitges in Barcelona, and the car itself is a sporty answer to the mid-sized family SUV. It stepped into the shoes of the old Ateca, bringing a fresh design and a bold stance. A Shark-nose front, 3D rear lights and a raised, muscular body make for an intimidating presence.

The Terramar offers the choice between a 265PS 2.0-litre petrol or a plug-in e-HYBRID, pushing up to 272PS and offering up to 73 miles of electric range, as well as rapid charging. So, if you want to give zero emissions a try, the Terramar gives you the chance, while eliminating range anxiety with the reassurance of an engine behind it.

Whichever you choose, the Terramar is built to carry the whole family in comfort – the petrol models offer up to 540 litres of boot space, and the adaptive suspension lets you soften the ride for the daily commute, or sharpen it for the more interesting roads. Inside, the 12.9-inch touchscreen, heads-up display and immersive sound systems make the cabin a premium place to be.

tavascan.jpg

CUPRA Tavascan

Low-slung and unmistakably electric, the CUPRA Tavascan is an eye-catching coupe-SUV. The sleek, tapered roofline and sculpted body lend the Tavascan an aggressive presence and powerful stance, backed up by a 0-62mph time of just 5.5 seconds.

The Tavascan covers up to 355 miles WLTP on a charge, enough to commute throughout the week without touching a charger – even then, the car can recover 10-80% charge in around 28 minutes. And, with vehicle-to-load capabilities, you’ll never be short of power.

The cabin of the Tavascan is immersive and intuitive, but practicality isn’t sacrificed for styling. A 540-litre boot handles the weekly shop and extends to 1,550 litres of space with the seats folded, and the 15-inch touchscreen pulls together the dashboard and puts connectivity at your fingertips.
