Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · K1 (2021-)

Cupra Born

Compact EV on the MEB platform, technically related to the Volkswagen ID.3 but tuned more sportily. The 58 kWh version reaches around 420 km WLTP. Indicative starting price; check the official configurator for the current figure per version.

Profile · 1e (2024-, MQB Evo)

Cupra Terramar

Mid-size SUV from Cupra on the VW Group MQB Evo platform, produced in Gyor, Hungary, on sale in Europe from late 2024. Engine line-up: 1.5 eTSI mild hybrid 150 PS, 2.0 TSI 4Drive 265 PS, plus the e-Hybrid plug-in with 204 or 272 PS from a 1.5 TSI paired to a 19.7 kWh net battery (25.8 kWh gross). PHEV electric range up to 100-126 km WLTP (manufacturer figure, indicative). Boot 540 litres on petrol, tighter on PHEV because of the battery.
