Sitting at the top of the Terramar line-up is the $73,490 (drive-away) VZ version. 

Extra equipment over the other Terramars includes 20-inch alloys, adaptive suspension, an upgraded leather and stereo package, selectable engine sound, matrix headlights, expanded driver-selectable drive modes and bigger brakes. The vehicle is a mid-sized, five-seat SUV.

Power comes form a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol unit driving through a seven-speed dual-clutch auto transmission and using the on-demand all-wheel drive system. Power is a claimed 195kW and torque is 400Nm.

Fuel consumption is a claimed 8.2 litres per 100km on the combined (urban/extra-urban) test cycle. Cupra recommends 95 octane fuel.

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 VZ 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-year 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.
