The new Cupra Terramar range kicks off with the S variant of the five-seat, mid-sized SUV, which is priced at $58,490, drive-away.

Interestingly, though, despite being the entry-level version, the S is the only Terramar variant (for now) with a hybrid powertrain. As it is, it’s a mild-hybrid with a 48-volt alternator acting as the starter motor and harvester of some braking energy. Transmission is a seven-speed dual-clutch auto with drive going exclusively to the front wheels.

The 1.5-litre petrol engine produces 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque and Cupra claims a combined cycle (urban/extra-urban) fuel economy figure of 5.7 litres per 100km on 95 octane fuel.

Standard equipment includes a powered tailgate with a kick sensor, cloth trim, 18 inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and start, powered and heated front seats with a memory function, a head-up display, a heated steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, dual info-screens, full wireless connectivity, ambient lighting and wireless phone charging.

Safety gear includes a full suite of driver assistance aids including blind-spot monitoring, autonomous emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert and tyre pressure monitoring. The Terramar S carries a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating.

The Cupra carries a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty with roadside assistance and the option of three or five years' capped price servicing.

Morley’s attentions turned to cars and motoring fairly early on in his life. The realisation that the most complex motor vehicle was easier to both understand and control than the simplest human-being, set his career in motion. Growing up in the country gave the young Morley a form of motoring freedom unmatched these days, as well as many trees to dodge. With a background in newspapers, the move to motoring journalism was no less logical than Clive Palmer’s move into politics, and at times, at least as funny.
