Overview

The CUPRA Terramar is the brand's newest SUV, announced in 2024 as the successor to the Ateca. Built on the latest MQB Evo platform (the same platform underpinning the VW Golf 8 and latest Skoda Octavia), the Terramar represents a substantial update in both technology and electrification commitment. The PHEV variant — using a 1.5L TSI petrol engine with a large 25.7 kWh battery — delivers approximately 100 km of pure electric range, setting a new benchmark for PHEVs in the compact SUV segment.

The Terramar is positioned as a more sophisticated product than the Ateca it replaces, with a more complete range of electrified options. The entry variant uses a 1.5L TSI mild hybrid 150 hp; mid-spec offers a 2.0L TSI 265 hp; and the PHEV with its 25.7 kWh battery and 272 hp system output targets buyers who want electric daily driving capability with petrol range for longer trips.

The interior reflects CUPRA's growing ambition — the Terramar's cabin uses higher-grade materials, an improved infotainment system, and more ergonomically sophisticated seating than the Ateca it replaces. In Azerbaijan, the Terramar represents the latest iteration of CUPRA's performance SUV message — a compelling proposition for buyers who want modern European performance with advanced PHEV technology.

CUPRA Terramar FAQ — Azerbaijan Buyers

Q: Is the Terramar better than the Ateca?

Yes in most respects — the Terramar uses the newer MQB Evo platform, has more advanced PHEV technology (100 km electric range vs none on Ateca), and a more sophisticated interior. The Ateca's 300 hp single powertrain was more powerful at its top spec, but the Terramar's range of options is more versatile.

Q: How good is the Terramar PHEV's 100 km electric range?

Exceptional for a compact SUV — 100 km electric covers the majority of Baku daily driving without using petrol. This is significantly better than the typical 40–60 km PHEV range and makes the Terramar genuinely practical as an electric daily driver with petrol for weekends.

Q: When will the Terramar be available in Azerbaijan?

The Terramar was announced in 2024. As with most CUPRA models, it will appear in Azerbaijan through parallel import channels or grey market before any formal Stellantis/CUPRA distribution. Check BakuWheels listings for current availability and pricing.

Should You Buy the CUPRA Terramar?

The most advanced CUPRA SUV yet — 100 km PHEV electric range in a performance package is market-leading.

The Terramar is the most compelling CUPRA SUV for 2024–2025 — the 25.7 kWh PHEV battery's 100 km electric range genuinely addresses daily zero-emission driving, while the 272 hp AWD system delivers proper performance. Choose the PHEV AWD for the complete package. As a new model, full warranty and dealer support will be available on formally imported examples.
