Cupra

What it makes

Cupra is a car brand that belongs to the Volkswagen Group. Its official website is operated by SEAT, S.A.U., while the British site is run by CUPRA UK. The range shown on the UK site covers the Born, Raval, Tavascan, Formentor, Leon, Leon Estate and Terramar, and the Ateca is listed as discontinued.

Where it builds and sells

The company is based in Spain, and its official sites use a country selector, with separate English pages for the UK and for international visitors. In Britain it runs a City Garage in Manchester and a Design House, and in the Zona Franca district of Barcelona it describes a Circular Economy Hub as part of its sustainability work. UK prices are quoted as recommended on-the-road figures, with retailers setting the actual price. Every new Cupra sold in the UK carries a five-year warranty for up to 90,000 miles.

Its electric and plug-in line-up

The battery-electric cars are the Born hatchback, the Raval compact urban car and the Tavascan SUV coupe. The Born is sold in V1, V2 and VZ trims, and the Tavascan runs from Origin up to VZ2. The Raval uses a 52 kWh battery in the versions currently listed, with a smaller 37 kWh Origin version marked as anticipated for 2027. The plug-in hybrids carry the e-Hybrid name and include the Terramar compact SUV, the Leon hatchback and estate, and the Formentor crossover.
