Launching Cupra as its own performance sub-brand was a risky move by the Volkswagen Group’s Spanish offshoot, Seat.
And announcing crossover after crossover after crossover as its opening gambits was even more dicey.

That would see the German auto giant release the equivalent of Tesla’s entire new model range every quarter for the next seven quarters.
