CUPRA Terramar: Built for South Island Adventure

The South Island offers the ultimate canvas for driving performance – coastal curves, open plains, winding roads. It’s the kind of environment that demands more from a vehicle.

The CUPRA Terramar is engineered for these conditions, delivering a compelling balance of power, efficiency, and flexibility across every kilometre. Whether urban driving or open road, the Terramar’s bold design and athletic stance reflect its performance-led character. This SUV has an unstoppable spirit, new tech, a striking design, and the choice of petrol or hybrid power.

Inside, the driver takes centre stage, a reminder that even the most practical CUPRA is built for those who love to drive. Its driver-centric cockpit with progressive connectivity and design is streamlined, dynamic, and highly emotive.

The CUPRA Difference

The Terramar is a vehicle that refuses to compromise between performance and practicality, between efficiency and exhilaration. It’s designed for drivers who see the open road not as a commute, but as an opportunity. That’s what CUPRA delivers, and it’s exactly what the Terramar brings to New Zealand’s most challenging and rewarding roads.

Highlights of the Terramar include the Terramar VZ turbo petrol with a 0-100 km/h time of just 5.9 seconds, or the Terramar V mild-hybrid turbo petrol with fuel economy of just 5.8 litres per 100 km.*

Taking on the South Island

Watch our South Island journey with the CUPRA Terramar in its element. The Terramar conquers these iconic roads with determination, confidence, and the unmistakable CUPRA style.

From the coastal sweeps of Kaikōura to the winding roads at Pelorus Sound, the Terramar turns each kilometre into a showcase of its bold and intimidating character. Enhanced driving dynamics come courtesy of the new Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC). Curvy roads are the Terramar’s natural habitat.
