Facelift coming
Cupra will launch three new models before 2025: the Terramar, Tavascan and Urbanrebel. Those three cars all get a Cupra-face different from Seat’s models. The Cupra Leon – in fact the Cupra version of the Leon – is allowed to go for a while and gets a facelift to make it optically better in line with the three newcomers.
The Cupra Formentor is currently the only Cupra car that is not a direct derivative of a car that you also find with another brand of the Volkswagen Group. After all, the Born is Cupra’s version of the Volkswagen ID3 and the Cupra Leon can also be found with other badges at Seat. Up to and including 2025, Cupra will launch three new models: the Terramar, Tavascan and Urbanrebel. Although the Terramar shares its technology with the next-generation Audi Q3 and the Urbanrebel will have technical similarities with the upcoming electric compact models from Volkswagen and Skoda, unlike the Born and Leon, they have their own Cupra body, with sharp lines and a ‘closed’, grille-less front. The Cupra Leon, like the Born, will soon undergo a facelift, so that at least from the front it shows similarities with the new models of the brand.
Cupra Leon in facelifted form.
When Cupra took a cursory glance at the Terramar, Tavascan and Urbanrebel in July, it already showed the facelifted Cupra Leon from a great distance. The Cupra Leon swaps its relatively conventional grille housed between the headlamps for a lower nose, which is split by a horizontal section that holds the number plate. The air vent runs optically into probably mainly closed ‘cooling openings’ on both sides of the bumper. At the rear, the changes seem to be kept to an absolute minimum.
