2025 Cupra Terramar revealed and priced

UPDATE, 10/06/2025: Cupra Australia has announced the new Terramar will enter local showrooms next month priced from $59,490 drive-away, with two variants set to be offered from launch before a third arrives in September.

The nominated starting price applies to the entry-level S mHEV which features a 110kW/250Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol mild hybrid powertrain, front-wheel drive and a host of standard equipment.

Standard on Aussie cars are 18-inch alloys, a powered tailgate, 360-degree camera, a 10.25-inch digital cockpit, a 15-inch infotainment system, wireless phone projection, sat-nav, power-adjustable heated front seats, tri-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel and Travel Assist.

The mid-range V ($66,460 d/a) essentially mirrors this set-up but adds beefier rear brakes, 19-inch wheels, a 150kW/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and all-wheel drive, though this version won't arrive until September.

At the top of the 2025 tree sits the Terramar VZ with its 195kW/400Nm 2.0-litre powertrain, all-wheel drive, 20-inch wheels, adaptive dampers, Matrix LED lights, customisable engine sound and $73,490 drive-away.

Those wanting a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Terramar will unfortunately have to wait for the VZe to arrive next year.

ORIGINAL, 03/09/2024: The all-new 2025 Cupra Terramar has debuted in Barcelona ahead of its Australian release next year, where it’s primed to become the Spanish performance brand’s best-selling model.

Developed alongside the third-generation 2025 Audi Q3, the Terramar is underpinned by the Volkswagen Group’s latest MQB Evo architecture and will serve as an indirect replacement for the aging Ateca, with it likely to share many of its body panels with the upcoming Audi.

The two will naturally don their own unique front fascias, rear aprons and cabin finishes, with the Terramar aligning itself with the rest of the Cupra’s new product – headlined by the three-triangular Matrix LED Ultra head lamps.

The deep lower air dam is said to be inspired by some modern sports cars while notable elements at the rear include a sporty rear diffuser and illuminated Cupra logo.

In Europe, the Terramar will be available in nine exterior colours, including two matte options: Century Bronze and Enceladus Grey.

Under the bonnet, there’s the choice of five powertrains developing between 110kW-200kW.

The most advanced powertrain is the new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system pinched out of the Mk8 VW Golf which pairs a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with an electric motor (and a 19.7kWh lithium-ion battery) for a combined output of 200kW and all-electric driving range of up to 100km.

Featuring an 11kW onboard charger for AC charging, the new ‘e-Hybrid’ system can also be topped up at up to 50kW using a DC fast-charger.

Odds are the PHEV will be offered Down Under alongside the most potent 2.0-litre turbo-petrol system (195kW/370Nm) from launch before milder and more affordable versions are added later.

Headline cabin equipment on the Terramar includes eco-friendly seats, copper-coloured brushed metal trim, a 12.9-inch infotainment system, illuminated climate control sliders, a digital instrument cluster and head-up display.

Cupra engineers said the Terramar will be offered with sports suspension as standard, with adaptive progressive steering and active dampers set to be available as options, while Japanese brake specialist Akebono supplies the braking hardware.

Hammering home the Q3 ties, both the Terramar and next-gen Q3 will be produced at Audi’s Györ plant in Hungary with European deliveries set to start in October – our cars are expected to land in early 2025.

Pricing and full specification details of the Australian Terramar line-up will be released closer to the model’s local release.
