2026 Cupra Terramar Summary

There aren’t many cars like the new Cupra Terramar VZe as it’s a mid-size plug-in hybrid flagship that sits firmly at the premium end of the mainstream market. That’s either a huge advantage… or it’s not.

Because when you don’t have a clear set of rivals, you tend to stand out.

There are alternatives, of course. Things like the BYD Sealion 6 Premium, Chery Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid, GWM Haval H6 GT, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid - but they each approach this space a little differently, whether it’s in pricing, positioning or execution.

Which leaves the Terramar VZe carving out a niche for itself. So the question is, does this plug-in hybrid make a compelling case?

2025 Xpeng G6 Summary

If you’re someone still convinced the newcomer Chinese brands don't have what it takes to shake up the Australian new car market, this might just prove you wrong.

It’s the 2025 XPeng G6 Long Range, and it’s a lot like the Tesla Model Y, only cheaper – and, in some ways, much better.

Don't believe me? Read on and I'll prove it.

Verdict

The Cupra Terramar VZe looks fantastic on the road and confidently handles most things you throw at it. The plug-in hybrid set-up offers a nice blend of performance and efficiency. But… when you start digging into the price and ownership promise and what you do (and don’t) get for your money, it doesn’t always feel like the most compelling package. Sexy and sporty? Definitely. Value-for-money? Mmm.

Verdict

You never know quite what to expect when you jump into the first model from a brand-new brand, but the XPeng G6 was a pleasant surprise. And at this price, with these features, it should really give Tesla Model Y shoppers something to think about.
