This is our first sneak peek at the likely third product in the burgeoning Cupra range. Following on from the high-performance petrol Ateca and the Formentor plug-in hybrid revealed earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show, this is an all-electric Cupra that will make its debut at the Frankfurt Show in September.

No name for the third Cupra as yet and no clear view of it, this glimpse of its rear (and reflected silhouette) showing off its coupe roofline, a full-width rear light strip... and yes, the stance and proportions of an SUV.
