The Cupra Terramar gains the soul of a sports car with H&R springs. See how the SUV becomes 40 mm lower, more agile, and with a killer look.
- Why does the Cupra Terramar with H&R springs attract so many enthusiasts? The lowered H&R springs deliver more stability, a sporty profile, and precise handling in corners, without sacrificing comfort.
- What are the technical advantages of the H&R kit? A 30 to 40 mm reduction in the center of gravity, precise wheel alignment, and lightweight high-strength materials balance aesthetics and performance.
- Does the upgrade affect the SUV’s comfort or utility? No. The Terramar retains the practicality of an SUV, original cargo capacity, and comfort for long trips.
- Is the H&R upgrade reversible? Yes — it is possible to restore originality for lease returns without damage or loss.

The Cupra Terramar, when equipped with H&R sport springs, radically changes the game for plug-in hybrid SUVs. This model elevates design standards, performance, and finish, targeting the discerning international consumer who wants sportiness, space, and an impactful look—all at once.
Based on the VW Tiguan platform, the Terramar gains no less than a center of gravity up to 40 mm lower thanks to H&R components. The result is a genuine sports car feel in corners, with sharper steering response and less body roll. It outperforms direct competitors in dynamics while maintaining generous space for luggage and passengers.
Its highlight is in the technical setup: H&R kits are designed to work harmoniously with the original shock absorbers, not compromising comfort on long trips. There are versions for plug-in hybrid powertrains (1.5 e-Hybrid PHEV, 2WD) and an option for adaptive damping, always maintaining the same load capacity. For those seeking an aggressive visual stance at the limit, there’s also the option of precise aluminum Trak+ spacers—ensuring wheels sit “flush,” aligned with the fender.
This technical commitment from H&R to quality is reflected in every detail: parts produced according to international standards, certification for over 70 markets, and expertise drawn from Formula 1, FIA WEC, and endurance racing categories. Many global automakers already offer H&R technology factory-fitted in award-winning sports cars, such as Porsche. It’s no coincidence that it’s a reference in sport suspension upgrades applied to modern SUVs.
Evolving, the Terramar is fully aligned with the global demand for plug-in hybrids and efficiency—even standing out against rivals with technological solutions like optimized charging, electronic driver assistance systems, and interior design focused on ergonomics. If you want to understand how other brands are raising the bar in the plug-in segment, it’s worth checking out how Toyota implements technology for real engagement and economy in hybrids.
