CUPRA reviews, ratings & community

My impressions are based on only a three-day test drive, and they are excellent. The test drive "convinced" me to buy the Cupra Terramar, and I am currently waiting for the model I ordered.

Test drove both, Terramar is more liveable for a family as more practical with larger interior space and feels more premium overall. The Formentor in VZ form is super fast and agile and great fun to drive, but feels less premium all round. I also think the Terramar looks nicer inside and out.

Both are very good. The range and energy consumption is beter in the cupra. The cupra is also more responsive and it handles beter. The Kia is more spacious and slightly beter tech wise. The Kia is more a family car.

The Cupra Ateca is technically state-of-the-art. The interior tech is top-notch, the materials feel premium and are genuinely useful. But it’s still a car — a practical tool — and despite the excellent build quality and very solid engine performance, it remains affordable for the average buyer.

For me, a mature man, the "civilian" version was enough — an automatic, very well-equipped, with the 150‑hp engine in Magnetic Tech.

Had a Terramar for nearly 12 months and it’s proven a great choice. Love the driving experience and that fact it’s less common than Tiguan/Q3 cousins. V2 spec gives you so much kit you don’t need any extras.

A better-equipped version of a car that's technically very similar to the Q3, offered at a more attractive price.
