Cupra
The eyes have it
If there’s one thing that distinguishes the CUPRA Terramar and makes it easily recognisable, even in the dark of night, it’s the eyes. T e brand’s unmistakable three-triangle light signature shines brightly and stands out from the crowd, illuminating the road ahead. Over and above their design, these headlamps are the
result of painstaking research and development that posi- tions the model as a top-of-the-range vehicle. Magnolia Paredes, Head of Lighting Electronic
Development at CUPRA, said: “With its 25,000 pixels and high-defi nition Matrix LED Ultra technology, the CUPRA Terramar has achieved the highest standards of light output”
Cutting-edge precision One of the biggest innovations is the automatic Glare-free High Beam function, which detects oncoming traffi c or cars in front and shields them to prevent glare, all without reducing visibility on other areas of the road. “Our technology works with millimetre precision thanks
to the compartmentalisation of the light emitted by the LEDs into 12 separate segments,” said Maite París, head of Headlight Development at CUPRA. “Starting at 30 km/h and with the high beam activated and in automatic mode, these light sectors intelligently regulate themselves and switch off independently, adapting to the needs of the road. In the precise location where the system detects another user, this creates a shadow that eliminates glare while still lighting up the surrounding areas.”
Technology for enhanced safety Equipped with high-defi nition technology, the low beams off er further innovative lighting functions. For example, on roads with more than three lanes, the Lane Light Basic Function comes into play. “It focuses extra light on your lane and defines it by
adapting to the layout of the road to make night driving easier,” said Magnolia. Meanwhile, the Lane Line Indicator Function aims to facilitate lane changes, with a more
