Tindaya Concept and Tribe Editions Presentation
At the Munich Motor Show, Cupra presented the Tindaya concept crossover, which showcases the brand’s future design, as well as four special Tribe Editions versions for the Formentor, Leon, Leon Sportstourer, and Terramar models.
Tindaya Design and Features
The Tindaya concept, named after a volcanic mountain in the Canary Islands, has an aggressive exterior with a “shark-like” front end, an illuminated logo, and a lower digital mask that mimics the movement of waves. Additional elements include triangular accents, a hood with a powerful dome, plastic cladding, thin pillars, and a “floating” roof with removable panels.
The vehicle’s length is 185.8 inches (4,720 mm), and it sits on 23-inch wheels. The rear features a split spoiler, a powerful diffuser, and LED taillights with an integrated digital effect.
Interior and Technologies
The Tindaya’s interior is executed in a 2+2 format with innovative CUPBucket seats, upholstered in bio-leather, which seem to “float” in space and are separated by a central console. The steering wheel is inspired by motorsport, and a 24-inch display is located in front of the driver. A special element is a glass prism called The Jewel, which serves as a touch interface for controlling driving modes and ambiance using light and sound. A Sennheiser audio system and a projection strip near the windshield are also present.
Special Tribe Editions Versions
The Tribe Editions lineup is distinguished by its unique design: an exclusive Manganese Matt matte finish, dark chrome accents, and 19- or 20-inch wheels with Sulphur Green elements. The manufacturer emphasizes that the wheels are made using 20% recycled materials.
The interior features special seats created using 3D-knitting technology, as well as recycled and biological materials for trim. Engines are offered in various options: gasoline, diesel, micro-hybrid, and plug-in hybrids with power ranging from 148 hp to 328 hp.
These new products highlight Cupra’s growing focus on sustainability and innovation, combining dynamic design with modern materials. The presented models could become the basis for the brand’s future production cars, demonstrating its ambitions in the field of electromobility and sustainable development.
