Cupra, the six-year-old brand created by SEAT, plans to succeed in the US market by leveraging its lack of history compared to other automakers within the Volkswagen Group.
Cupra has achieved success in Europe, selling 750,000 cars in just six years, with Germany as its largest market. The brand aims to replicate this success in the US.
Cupra CEO, Wayne Griffiths, plans to introduce a larger SUV and is exploring a partnership with Penske Automotive Group for distribution and retail experience.
The brand will need to offer products that appeal to American consumers and meet their preferences. Cupra intends to offer hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and conventional combustion powertrains.
