Cupra is one of the fastest growing brands in recent years. Despite being born as a SEAT sports sub-brand, the truth is that it has exceeded all expectations and continues with unprecedented expansion. One of the keys is the electrification of a complete range full of personality. Now we are talking about the future of Cupra Leonone of the original products along with the Ateca. It seems that they want to ensure the future of this model and the formula to carry it out is well known to everyone.
It is almost confirmed that the Lion It will be fully electric in its next generation and that its launch will be at the beginning of the next decade. The current Cupra León still has a long way to go, as it has just been updated and meets the current needs of customers. Available in combustion versions and also in two plug-in hybrid variants, everything indicates that with some changes it could be maintained for another five years. The CEO of the firm, Wayne GriffithsI do not hesitate to affirm it in a recent interview.
The positive part is that the León sits on the same platform as the Cupra Formentor, the brand’s most successful model to date. Griffiths stated that they were going to “take care of those cars and revitalize them» before launching a next generation that will be 100% electric. We know about the future model that it will be the fourth electric car after others like Born, Tavascan and Raval; and it will sit on the Volkswagen Group SSP platform. That base will be really advanced and will allow you to have great performance.
There is also talk that, for the first time, the Lion It will be an exclusive model from Cupra. It will disappear from the SEAT range, which will focus on smaller and more affordable vehicles, in addition to other mobility solutions. It seems that the Arona and Ibiza, two of the best sellers in our market, continue to be the basis of the Spanish brand and that they complete their ranges with electrified versions, mainly microhybrids. Later they will leave León and Ateca aside, while Cupra continues to advance towards its full electrification goal.
