“The CUPRA Terramar’s 5-star Euro NCAP rating is a reflection of the importance we place on safety, not only on the vehicle’s occupants but every road user” said Dr. Werner Tietz, Executive Vice-President for Research and Development at CUPRA. “CUPRA’s new sporty and electrified SUV embraced the challenge, and thanks to its suite of advanced safety system was able to join the CUPRA Tavascan, Born, Formentor and Leon with the maximum score possible”.
Key Safety Features CUPRA Terramar
The CUPRA Terramar's 5-star rating is attributed to its comprehensive suite of safety and convenience technologies, delivering assurance to the driver and real-world practical benefits. The integrated suite of advanced technologies includes amongst others seven airbags as standard, Adaptive seat belts, Speed limiter, Lane Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Automatic Safety Braking Assistant (Front Assist), Turn and Dodge Assist, and Attention and Drowsiness Assist (through a camera-based driver monitoring system in the rearview mirror).
The integration of these systems helped the CUPRA Terramar to score highly in each of the individual Euro NCAP test areas: Adult Occupant 89%, Child Occupant 87%, and Vulnerable Road User 82%. The final part of Euro NCAP’s assessment is the Safety Assist score. In this category, the CUPRA Terramar scored 76%.
Euro NCAP Testing
Euro NCAP continually updates its test protocols to ensure the highest vehicle safety standards, protecting not only occupants, but other road users, including the most vulnerable.
In 2025, Euro NCAP enforces more demanding requirements, such as biomechanical values of the occupants, rescue sheets in all languages of the European Union, vehicle immersion tests to ensure, for a certain time, the operation of relevant electrical systems and thus be able to guarantee the exit of occupants, new leg impactor in pedestrian protection tests where the femur and tibia are evaluated more realistically, as well as new active safety scenarios to improve and mitigate damage to other road users.
The CUPRA Terramar’s 5-star award is testament to the importance the brand places on safety, and its continuing determination to deliver the safest vehicles possible.
