CUPRA Terramar Buyer's Guide: Differences Between V1, V2 and VZ Trims

16 April 2025

This guide breaks down the difference between each of the Terramar trims (V1, V2, VZ1 and VZ2), helping you understand their differences and make an informed decision on which trim level to go for.

According to CUPRA, VZ stands for ‘Veloz’ in Spanish, meaning fast. The VZ models focus on delivering a more exciting and dynamic driving experience compared to standard versions, often including upgraded suspension, brakes, and interior details to enhance the sportiness.

You'll find a trim comparison table for a quick overview of what each model includes, followed by a deep dive into the details later in the guide.

Which Terramar Is Best For You?

The choice between the different trims depends on your preferences for nice interior features, performance and your budget.

As a well-rounded choice, the V2 is our top recommendation. It gives you a generous share of the interior tech and safety features found in the higher-spec VZ2, but without the added performance – and it comes in at just £3k less. A smart upgrade without stretching your budget.

If you crave luxury and a car that packs a punch, go for the VZ range, you’ll get upgraded interior (those burgundy bucket seats are to die for!) and elevated performance. The VZ2 also has the upgraded safety features so you’ll feel more comfortable on the road.
