Cupra's New 321 HP Hot Hatch Is Another Forbidden Fruit

In a previous op-ed, I bemoaned how draconian regulations are suffocating fun cars in Europe. In just a few years, we’ve had to say goodbye to the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GR86, Honda Civic Type R, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, and the Miata’s 2.0-liter engine. Seeing the glass half full, there are still…

Cupra Formentor review: Sporty, stylish and surprisingly characterful

The Formentor was the car that put the Cupra brand on the map, and it hasn’t looked back. It’s a unique design that infuses a practical crossover SUV with a racy, coupe-style, and it’s fun to ride in too. The latest long-range plug-in hybrid drivetrain is the icing on the…

Audi's Five-Cylinder Engine Powers a New Car. It's Not The One We Wanted

Good news: The Volkswagen Group is putting Audi’s turbocharged 2.5-liter engine in another car besides the RS3. Bad news: it’s not the long-rumored Golf R with five cylinders.

Cupra's Outlandish Concept Rejects Minimalism for Maximum Impact

There’s a trend among automakers to adopt a minimalist design approach by reducing creases and sharp edges. Just look at the new BMW iX3, for example.

Volkswagen Delays Cupra Launch in America Due To 'Evolving Market Dynamics'

I Drove A Cupra In The U.S. It’s More Interesting Than Any Audi

Look beyond the ambiguous marketing jargon and overused buzzwords, and there's something here worth being excited about. Cupra is a relatively new brand, spun out from its big sibling Seat in 2018. Even though it builds mostly SUVs, the emphasis is on performance; the “Cupra” name itself is an amalgamation of…

Cupra Needs To Bring Cars, Not SUVs, To America

Seemingly out of nowhere, Volkswagen decided to bring one of its European brands to America. But instead of granting a US visa to the better-known Skoda or SEAT marques, the higher-ups chose the newcomer, Cupra. Cupra has been in the VW Group since 2018, but the name has been used…

How Will Cupra Succeed in the US?

According to Cupra’s CEO, the brand has an advantage that other automakers within the Volkswagen Group don’t: It lacks history. Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, and even Volkswagen have deep heritages and intricate traditions baked into their identities, which come with certain expectations.
