The mid-range Terramar V is the first variant of the range to gain an on-demand all-wheel drive system. In normal driving, the Cupra will behave as a front-drive car but when acceleration or grip demands some of the torque will be send to the rear wheels. This is a great option in a family-oriented five-seat SUV like the Terramar.

The $66,490 drive-away Terramar V has a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that produces 150kW of power and 320Nm of torque. Unlike the entry-level Terramar S, there’s no hybrid function in the V.

Cupra claims a combined cycle (urban/extra-urban) fuel consumption figure of 7.2 litres per 100km for the V and 95 octane fuel is recommended.

Extra standard equipment over the S includes the on-demand AWD system, 19-inch copper-accented alloy wheels and hill descent control.

Safety gear includes a full suite of driver assistance aids including blind-spot monitoring, autonomous emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert and tyre pressure monitoring. Like the Terramar S, the V carries a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating.

The Cupra carries a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty with roadside assistance and the option of three- or five-year capped price servicing.

Morley’s attentions turned to cars and motoring fairly early on in his life. The realisation that the most complex motor vehicle was easier to both understand and control than the simplest human-being, set his career in motion. Growing up in the country gave the young Morley a form of motoring freedom unmatched these days, as well as many trees to dodge. With a background in newspapers, the move to motoring journalism was no less logical than Clive Palmer’s move into politics, and at times, at least as funny.
