Cupra Australia has confirmed pricing and specifications for its all-new Terramar mid-size SUV, first customer deliveries of which will start in July, priced from $53,990 plus on-road costs or $58,490 drive-away.
Four different variants have been confirmed for Australia, including a mix of turbo-petrol, mild-hybrid (MHEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drivetrains.

The Terramar introduces a new 'S mHEV' trim level for Cupra, with the entry-level mild-hybrid, while the V, VZ and VZe designations for the rest of the range correspond with existing model lines like the Leon and Formentor.

Only four per cent of Aussies take their SUV off-road
A study by Continental Tyres has revealed only four per cent of Australians take their SUVs off-road – despite buying them for their 'outdoor' appeal. Australians buy more SUVs than any other vehicle type, with higher-riding five-door wagons having overtaken conventional sedans and hatchbacks as the most popular body type in 2017 – and every year since. Despite the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux utes making headlines as the nation's top-selling models, SUVs of varying sizes still make up the majority of new car purchases each year. The Toyota RAV4 was the second-best selling vehicle – and top-selling SUV – in Australia in 2024 and remains behind only the Ranger year-to-date. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The popularity of SUVs – which saw almost 700,000 sold in 2024, accounting for more than half of all new cars sold here – has prompted tyre brands including Continental to develop an SUV-specific tyre for Australian customers. The German tyre manufacturer surveyed 1000 Australian drivers during the development of its UltraContact UX7 tyre to determine if there was genuine customer demand for an SUV-specific tyre – and what those demands were. Its survey showed one-in-four Australians associated SUVs with a sense of adventure and outdoor recreation, yet only four per cent took their SUVs off-road. The figure isn't a shock given the term SUV – a marketing slogan that stands for Sports Utility Vehicle – now refers to a variety of vehicles, from car-based urban compact SUVs like the Mazda CX-3 through to genuine off-road capable vehicles such as the ladder-frame Ford Everest 4×4. The term 'crossover' or CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) is not widely used in Australia but typically refers to car-based or 'unibody' vehicles – such as the Toyota Corolla Cross – with increased ride height and ground clearance compared to a hatch or sedan. More than two-thirds (67 per cent) of respondents purchased their SUV for its 'high driving position' and perceived additional luggage space, while 62 per cent said improved visibility due to the driving position played a key factor in their decision to buy an SUV. A total of 21 per cent purchased their SUV for 'family transport' and 19 per cent for long-distance travel. Yet Continetal found most Australians said they would buy an SUV-specific tyre – hence its introduction of the UltraContact UX7 – despite almost half (46 per cent) of respondents buying their SUV mainly for 'everyday transport'. It wasn't all positive, with a quarter (25 per cent) of respondents saying SUVs are more difficult to park, with 17 per cent suggesting the space they take up on the road is a drawback. More than 55 per cent believed SUVs are no more dangerous than other vehicle types, but 11 per cent did say SUVs drivers are rude and 10 per cent described SUV drivers as 'aggressive'.

Ford Ranger Raptor claims third Finke Desert Race in a row
The Ford Ranger Raptor has won the Finke Desert Race for the third consecutive year, setting a new Production 4WD class record time in the process. Driven by Brad Lovell and navigated by Adam Lovell, the Ranger Raptor underlined its desert-smashing capability by dominating its class in the 2025 Tatts Finke Desert Race over the long weekend. The experienced Lovell duo set a new category record despite especially challenging conditions this year on the grueling 460km course from Alice Springs to Finke and back. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Finke win extends the Ranger Raptor's undefeated streak in major off-road races, following its class win at the 2022 Baja 1000 and the Finke Desert Race in 2023 and 2024. "Getting the third win here at Finke, especially on such a tough track and setting a new class record, is just incredible," said driver Brad Lovell. "This Ranger Raptor is an absolute weapon. It handled everything we threw at it, proving its toughness and performance. I couldn't be prouder of the team and this truck." Ford Performance global director Mark Rushbrook said the Australian-developed Ranger Raptor's latest race win highlights its position as the benchmark for high-performance off-road production vehicles. "To see the Ranger Raptor achieve a three-peat at Finke is phenomenal," he said. "This truck is a testament to Ford Performance engineering and its ability to deliver extreme capability and durability in the harshest environments. Its undefeated record across Baja and Finke speaks volumes about its DNA." Ford Australia Special Vehicle Engineering program manager Justin Capicchiano said: "Designing a truck that can perform like this in production class racing is what we strive for. "The Finke Desert Race is the ultimate test, and for the Ranger Raptor to not only win three times in a row but also set a new record shows the strength and resilience built into the race-prepared vehicle."
