“Dramatic” show car will preview next step of the brand’s design language
Cupra will reveal its Tindaya concept at next month’s Munich motor show, a car that will preview the next stage of the brand’s design language.
The show car is named after the volcanic mountain on the Atlantic island of Fuerteventura because “its copper-toned rock echoes the signature of Cupra”, said the brand.
To be unveiled on 8 September, it is expected to focus heavily on the future of the brand’s interior design.
Cupra said the concept “delivers the maximum expression of driver focus, while offering a unique experience, enhancing the driver’s emotions”.
In a preview picture released by the brand, it shows a radical new cabin similar to that of the DarkRebel concept shown in 2023. It includes a yoke-like wheel, chunky central spine similar to the electric Tavascan, and what appear to be racing seats.
The brand said the concept will blend “human and machine, where the driving experience and emotions reach their fullest expression”, emphasising a focus on interior design.
Cupra has revealed little else about the concept, but did confirm it will also show the next step of its exterior design language.
The concept follows a major range-wide redesign last year in which the entire line-up was refreshed to bring parity between the new electric cars and older combustion models. The revamp mainly focused on the front end and included a prominent beak, a broader grille and triangular LED lights
The show car will be revealed alongside a camouflaged production version of the new Raval – Cupra’s Volkswagen ID 2 twin. The Raval will arrive in 2026 as the brand’s new entry-level model and a rival to the Renault 5. It is expected to be priced at around £25,000.
